Thread: So...Has anyone tried Eureka since 5.1? Is it soloable now?

Neither of those are made better by the new changes. They need to add light, crystals, or a small amount of fragment for to the weekly challenge log if you're max level for the zone and be done with it.

They need to remove the xp on death penalty if you're max level for the zone.

1- Light is now extremely easy to get. I completed 4 weapons to Physeos stage and I have 87 extra frosted protean crystals from Pagos. Just join any Cassie prep group and enjoy the light.
2- With how easy NMs to spawn now, crystals are easier to get also. In Hydatos, we literally pulled all the mobs that spawns Ceto (level 64) in one pull and killed them at the same time.


So the changes did affect the first two points. If you can kill mobs a lot quicker and NMs spawn rate increased, then your light gain and crystal gain already increases.

Well in theory you can solo 95% in Eureka entirely. If you only limit yourself to NMs that are 2 levels lower than your current level, and only mobs 1 level higher, you can do everything in all the zones up to Hydatos. That's because you can buy all the upgrade items of each boss from the Birdwatcher except for the NM Providance Watcher in Hydatos. But I'm pretty sure that in a future patch they will allow you to buy those items, so you'd be able to get your relic 100% solo.

It's old, outdated content. Who cares if it's "easy" now?

Not every old and outdated content has to be made easy. Else they would have let us do Ultimate fights unsycned. Why not also ask to have all previous Savage loot including the mount be purchasable with Poetics?

The primary reason for bunny FATEs was never crystals. It was the rare items you get from it.

I stopped Eureka after getting to lv19 and getting the relics I wanted in Anemos. I might have walked into Pagos once, but did nothing at all there after hearing how awful it was at release. If it really has been nerfed into the ground that much I may need to revisit that. I'd also be interested in eventually doing Baldesion Arsenal to get the Ozma mount, but I assume that content is even more dead at this point.
