How soloable is Eureka nowadays?

[Goji1639]

I'm kind of interested in getting the relic and some of the armor sets from Eureka, and plan to do it solo.

Can I solo the entire process as a Paladin, and if so how long of a grind am I looking at? Weeks? Months? YEARS?!

Thanks in advance.

Depends how active Eureka is tbh. If it's just you and you have no gear might take a while to start off since you'll have to solo spawn the fates.

Eureka is another one of SE's failed experiments.

Hey at least it's not bad as bozja.

Make sure to stock up some potion of harmony and get that elemental bonus gear.

I started at the end of Stormblood and have soloed my way to the Baldesion Arsenal. I used PLD too.
It's very doable.
Depending on how hard you buckle down and grind it'll be between a couple weeks and a couple months.

If you've got a pile of gil burning a hole in your pocket, you can buy a couple Cryptic Seals off the MB to trade for the fending Osode. That'll get you a leg up to start with.

Most important thing to know/learn going in, imo, is figure out enemy aggro types. You'll save yourself a lot of headache if you understand the difference between sight and sound aggro. Anemos is almost entirely sight aggro, but it pays to know when to walk from Pagos onward.

I would expect as a PLD, if you know what you're doing, you'll have a fairly easy time of things, what with being near unkillable.

All good information, thanks everyone.

So, what's the Baldesion Arsenal exactly? Is it something like CLL and DR that's basically a roadblock for the relic? If so is it something I can queue for, or will I end up on discord begging for help when I get there?

I'm kind of hoping I can do the entire relic beginning to end without having to find other people and convince them to run dead content.

A big dungeon for up to 56 people.

If you're just in it for the relic, yes.

To finish the weapon you'll probably have to join a discord to organize a team for the Baldesion Arsenal.

I'm sorry.

Nah, BA is only for a Physeos weapon. The only thing that changes is the weapon gains extra Eureka-only stats. You're technically finished with the weapon without ever having to step in.

So, I can make all the replicas and use them as Glam without ever going into BA? That's the main thing I'm concerned with.

You don't need BA for weapons. BA is fun though and still run on discord.

It's fairly trivial and easy, just make sure to look up guides for the Mneme actions and making them when you hit Pyros.

I solo leveled on SAM, mostly, for my LP alt last year. EXP gets easier and easier, and the Echo inside gives you a huge huge edge these days.

Make sure to buy the Eureka Potions once you're inside. Their regen is a big help in making fights go more smoothly. You can get done with Eureka in about a month or so, maybe less, depending on how many hours a day you can put into it.

Finishing the relic may take longer, since you require crystals from Fates and Light for it, and those can take some time. Not too mention the zone boss fates (though for some of those items you can just trade crystals for them).
