Eureka Anemos Thread

[Ludattore]

Hello,

I have found Eureka like 3 days ago, i am lvl 14 and i have only one crystal. I open this thread to look for someone who help me, it is so hard to start eureka without knowing anything.

I mean, how can i obtain more crystals? What the seven hells should i do to start/spawn a Fate?

I saw that there are like 4 maps in Eureka, you just need to get lvl and then a new map will open to you?

I like so much that duty, but i don't know what the goal of Eureka is (my goal there is to get a few epic mounts that i saw...)

I don't have great things to give for those who help me, but i can give some gils or help aswell in other things...thank you guys, i am so noob here.

Thank you so much.

There's two types of crystals, anemos crystals and protean crystals. these are used for your upgrades with gerolt for your level 70 relic gear

You get the former by doing fates, which are spawned by mass murder of certain mobs when their window is up. The latter you can get by chain mobs or exchanging the former for protean with gerolt at a rng rate

Best advice: join a fate train and ask around

You get to the next map at level 20 and completing all the story quests. Then you are in the worst of the maps for eureka

Here you go. I personally loved Eureka. I enjoyed it a lot more than the current iteration Borza.

Ok thank you so much, i love this community.

About the crystals, i meant those crystals that allows you to do more % of damage to elements. Are the others maps worth to go? Other side, i will try to mob monsters to spawn fates, do you know any tip for mob with a black mage? xD

Thank you again dude.

Ah, you mean the magicite pieces to add to the magia board. There's a maximum of seven magicite total you can get and meld onto the board; the first five are given to you as a result of the main Eureka questline, so as long as you push the story forward you'll get them. The sixth magicite requires farming materials from certain rare FATEs in Pyros (the third zone), and the seventh requires FATEs in Hydatos (the fourth and final zone).

Are the others maps worth to go?

If you want to finish the Eureka storyline, yes. Each of the maps has an elemental 'theme' to it; Anemos (levels 1-20) is wind-themed, Pagos (20-35) is ice-themed, Pyros (35-50) is fire-themed, Hydatos (50-60) is water-themed. Upon finishing up things in Hydatos, you can also unlock the Baldesion Arsenal, which is a bonkers 56-person dungeon thing that concludes the Eureka story... and something I still desperately want to do someday. (I stalled out in Hydatos a while ago because none of my friends were still doing Eureka.)

Pyros and Hydatos get interesting because you unlock a system called Logograms; by finding them while doing content out there in the zone, you can get logos actions which you can slot into your logos board. This opens up unusual abilities that will give you a massive damage boost, or allow you to cast powerful cure spells as things other than a healer, etc. The Logos system makes Eureka a great deal more engaging.

The problem is that Pagos (the second zone) is just... bad, in terms of map design, to a degree that it kills a lot of people's interest in Eureka before they get to Pyros. Pagos has some mobs that hit much harder versus the zone's level range than Anemos did, who you need to be careful sneaking past, and a lot of cliffs you have to go the long way around to get up... as well as paths and caverns halfway up a cliffside containing fights and locations required for the story to advance, which you need to drop off of cliffs at very precise spots to get to. And if you miss, prepare to take the long way around again to get back up, potentially. (Note that the 'very precise spots' are usually also 'right next to a mob that WILL eat you if you wake it up by making noise, such as not walking Very Slowly past it.' And you do still take fall damage, so if you wake it up, you will wake it up with almost no hit points to start with.)

But if you enjoy Eureka, then it's worth gritting your teeth and powering through Pagos to reach Pyros and continue on.

Do fates, get anemos crystals. Convert them to Protean crystals at the base. Certain monsters spawn fates after so many kills, about 30 is a good number to aim for (mindflayers for example spawn the chimera boss “Numbers”)

Protean can also drop from monsters but it’s super rare.

Story in anemos ends at 17 but it’s probably best to carry on to atleast 20 before moving to Pagos. Since monsters there start at 20. People move up too early and just get squashed.

And remember always ask if Zuzu is up?!
Ahh Eureka, awful at the time but think you end up with Stockholm syndrome over it. What is love?
