Eureka - The Time Sink

[Aomine1992]

I have a full time job and school as well the key is to not rush the process, each night when it first came out I set a goal to at least level 3 times but always ended up on two levels lol

Eureka is lively all day and even into the night you don't have to dedicate your life to it becuase it's not a race just do a little at a time it's doable...

Plus low level groups can spawn the lower level fates still.
It takes time but if you go in with a plan before hand and set up a party finder clearly stating "Doing fates. NO fate train." With a level range people will join.

I would suggest having a plan before going in. Knowing what you want to fight or the fate you want to spawn before hand helps a lot. When a group has no plan they tend to fall a part.

I think you haven't missed out. It should be doable any time in 4.x as long as you can fill one spawning party on your data center, for example outside the instance using PF or within the instance by shouting or talking to people. Use a eureka tracker (or pencil and paper) and pop low level FATEs in a round-robin fashion according to their window order.

Also Eureka is just one gear option of several - there is tome gear, sigmascape gear, crafted gear, and raid drops which are all competitive with or better than eureka gear at this point.

Let's correct the title first:

Zodiac/Anima/Eureka Weapons - The Time Sink

It doesn't matter the formula, they are all Time Sinks, even more so pre-nerf.

The one advantage at this point with Anemos is time invested = bigger payouts. Once you hit lvl19 all weapons are easy to upgrade as you are not starting from scratch on each weapon like Zodiac and Anima. Then there is the gear/glam/mount/barding as a secondary bonus.

Too bad still people complain it's still too hard -.-; I love doing relics, keyword as a down time while I'm doing something else, they are not that hard even after nerf they are a joke. However Relics are not for everyone, Eureka is probably the easiest joke of a relic out there. Pretty simple requirements, have job at 70 to get antique gear, reach minimum lvl 19 in eureka, 1300 small crystals, ( about 4oo large if trade in ) and a Gold Pazuzu fate.

Eureka has been out maybe close to two weeks now and almost done with them. Doing it on my down time, now just killing time between Pazuzu windows finishing up my other anima weps. This grind is nothing compare to FFXI IF you know fastest short cuts and have the right mentality. When you think about just doing daily for tomes and normal content based on what you do you can complete a relic with out really trying? Whats the difference between a daily routine to relics? You do your daily, get tomes, can get lights, and if your not anti social you can team up with a tank buddy.

Why people think putting a little hard work for something that is designed to be a pass time over exaggerate I will never understand.

You seem to be equating hard and boring. They're not the same.

Oh I'm sorry, let me rephrase that, "Why do people want to get a nice shinny trophy for just trying rather than work hard for it knowing it may be boring, has been nerfed constantly when it' was NOT needed, SE now that they took away the LONG BORING GRIND, and it may require some work from the player that can be done while leveling up regardless, people still complain? I will never understand this new cupcake / snowflake generation "

I would probably take your opinion more seriously if you had actually at a minimum completed a relic (recent not from 2015 ).

And I'd take yours more seriously if you didn't fall back on tired weak "snowflake" talking points. This isn't a meeting of a bunch of old right wingers whining about kids today and their rock music.

As for not having one done, that's nice? I'm a parent, I have limited play time and other things I want to do with it. It'll get done eventually. It's not like I'm missing out on amazing gameplay here, especially since the mendacity WHM weapon is better than the relic. I don't see the rush to get something that would be inferior to what I already have.

I was playing at least 1 hr a day since it came out and I just turned lvl 19 yesterday.

Its possible you just have to take it slow and not get disappointed by all the high level players above you.

Hey, they have increased the exp bonus within Eureka, so now less time is required to level up. I hope you can get to lvl20 soon.
