Grinding fast in Eureka

[Hyperia]

If that's your problem stock up on Eureka potions and go kill some on-level adds on a dps-adequate job. It's a boring grind but it's more than possible to get a chain going even solo.

I was told that it took up to 3 hours to get a drop, I'm not interested in grinding for that long solo and WHM is the only job I have at a high enough level to play in Eureka. Its a knock down drag out fight for me to kill a single mob with many of my stones landing for 0 on same level targets. There is no easy way for me to maintain a chain more than one before it expires. At this point, I'd rather buy the darn protean thing from the Mog Station.

It shouldn't take anywhere near that long, but the drop rate of them increases as you gain levels. I'd form/join a chain party so you can reliably farm higher level monsters.

You're going to wait longer for a change they're likely not going to make until they nerf the thing if at all. You also don't have to do that solo, you can get other lowbies you level to help, maybe while working on a low level NM. There ARE low level trains going choo choo.
