Its worth doing Eureka on 2023?

How much do you want the glowy armor and various drops? All are accessible solo and you can just do challenges every week to progress pretty regularly. Just be ready for long grinds, inability to do ANYTHING ELSE during those grinds and managing "dead" instances along with required quests that will make you walk through areas where you can die and lose significant progress if nobody is around to res you. Also if you want any of the NM drops be ready to join a finger punishing lengthy and constant fate train.


BUT... That being said I did find my elemental armor worth it. It's relatively uncommon to see and goes with my aesthetic. Only took me like.. 3 months.

3 Months is doing it very casual, we boosted a friend from Pagos to Hydatos in under 6 hours using sage shields so he could mass pull, and he spent roughly another 10 hours getting all the Pyros/Hydatos crystals for his +1 armor to use as glam.

That's great. I did it entirely by myself doing challenges every week and then when I got to pyros I ran bunny fates all day to farm XP and drops to sell.

One of the best parts of pyros, but also the reason bots invade the instances

Tbh im not that interested on the armor, I just like shiny weapon and thats it, if I get any other minion/orchestrion i welcome them too.

Ozma mount look cool, but everyone saying baldesion is a slog so we will see in the future.

Also whats with the bunny everyone seems to hate reading reddit posts?

Weapon shouldn't be a giant problem, but you're going to want to play during weekend days to make sure you get an instance with people doing the big boss for the area as well as the fates for crystals(I also highly suggest data center visiting Aether as the other ones are a little deader). Progressing your level you can do anytime but gathering crystals or whatever they were called is much faster doing fate trains.

There's a lot of Discords out there expressly organized to get people running BA, so if you're OK with navigating those it'll probably not be all that bad. People say sometimes it takes a couple runs (sometimes people fail) , but they're still being done regularly.

Are you asking about Bunny fates? I never had a problem. There's apparently a bot population farming them in some places, but they're solo-able and give good rewards, some of the mounts that can drop from the gold chests sell for a couple mil. I have no idea what relation they have to reddit.

I wouldn't say a "slog" so much as, it has a huge degree of variance, unlike most other raids in the game, you can't just click a button and be teleported in, you need to meet a series of requirements, and then you will be allowed in, and while the raid itself is fairly easy, it is also punishing of mistakes, primarily by normal Rez being disallowed inside of BA, and the last boss will regularly suck people entirely out of the raid if they are dead or otherwise fail the mechanic which makes it extra punishing, the general rule is to play it safe and let the bosses take longer but execute all mechanics correctly and (hopefully) nobody dies, ideally you will go bonkers kill fast while playing it safe, but if forced to choose between either slow safety and speedy recklessness, the priority goes for safety, as only one boss inside BA has an enrage so it doesn't *truly* matter if the fights are slow most of the time.

Occasionally you also get grievers in BA, it's rare but it is known to happen, and you can't do anything about those, other than hope they die and don't get rezzed, I had a particularly bad run where two grievers were purposefully messing with the 2nd-to-last boss and caused most of the raid to die, it was also when I learned that Healer LB3 bypasses BA's rez limitation, good times... after the raid the run lead went on voice chat all, "I am not going to tell you to just report those guys, or what their names were, because that would be bridgading, which is against ToS... but if you were killed by their actions, that constitutes MPK, and thus it wouldn't be unreasonable if you reported them for this.", just the most "Legally speaking, I will not incriminate myself, but..." language that made me laugh.
