How long does it take to make the Eureka relic weapon?

[Raile]

I recently started doing Eureka, for the purpose of getting Demi Ozma at the time. I'm level 36 now after a week or so and have decided I actually want the relic weapons from here as well. I've done some fates, have some mats, but I'm not clear on how long it takes to get this done if you're not concerned about stats (I've read that certain things can be skipped if you only need the weapon for glamour).

Can someone give me an idea? I've been looking through and I want like...5 of these things, though some only up to Pyros level. Depending on the time it takes, I'm going to go back to Anemos and start the process now, rather than waiting until later (i.e. after I get Demi Ozma) to get started on the whole process.

Thanks for any info.

It doesn't take long to do it in Anemos. In fact what would take longer in Anemos is leveling.
Doing the Pagos step doesn't take too long, because you get a lot of light even more NMs, but it's really fast if you can get a party to do a dragon chain farm outside where you spend the light.
Pyros is not so bad if you skip the stats, because that skips the light step, but you may want to buy all the fragments from the market board so you can quickly get a large amount of actions.
Hydatos I remember the crystals dropped less but otherwise it's not so bad and the worst thing was how long it took to level up.

The biggest obstacle even is probably just the leveling more than getting the weapons. You can buy some items from the market board to purchase a piece of gear in Kugane, which boosts stats in eureka. It's also helpful to use a class that can heal like paladin or red mage.

Things can go really fast. The challenge log helps leveling and fates trains are a good way to get all the items you need for the weapon. I was aiming for the whole collection of weapons then I've made it "grindy" but if you don't feel in a hurry, unlock all four levels of the Eureka map and switch from a map to another depending of your mood for the items grind.

Just wanna echo Jeeqbit's point about going in on a class that can heal itself.

Until you get into Pyros and can start making logos actions like Bloodbath L, trying to get your challenge logs finished in a timely fashion if you're solo can be difficult if you're using a dps. Even mass pulling enemies as a tank can be a bit harrowing since after the ShB changes, only Paladin has it easy due to Clemency while Warrior lost access to Steel Cyclone's hp regen (though thankfully they can offset that with Thrill of Battle and Equilibrium) and Dark Knight lost spammable Dark Arts Abyssal Drain.

If you can, try to hook with other players around a similar level to you. There should still be some running around even with Bozja and Zadnor out.

@OP: yes.

more seriously, go find and join a euerka/bozja discord group for your data center if you ever, ever plan to make any progress in eureka, since its been a complete no-mans land on crystal for solo players. should help take your grind down from "actually impossible" to merely "soulcrushingly long"

edit: am legitimately envious of the above posters who've had a smooth enough experience to report it as anoything but soulcrushing.
