Boy is Eureka trash

[Vyrerus]

It's super easy now with the huge Echo buff you get, along with the fact that there's EXP potions and Osode's/V. Cloak items to buy to have enhanced capability all of the time while inside.

I took my LP alt through it, and it only took a few hours a day for like 3 or 4 days to complete all of the zones and a relic to its useful i405 point for outside. I didn't do BA on him, because I didn't want to join a Discord for it and put my LP on hold.

You also get a crap ton of poetics each time you go in, assuming you pop and kill enough NMs. Lets you work on older relics somewhat, at the same time.

Eureka is easy.
Join a Eureka/ BA discord server for your DC and ask for people who want to join you.
Eureka is great group content and with every fate spawn it feels like you accomplished something.

Also, once you are elemental level 18 you can level by doing the weekly challenge log in anemos.
It gives you about 2,5 level per week for just 30 min of work.

And once you have finished BA a couple of times you can make everything solo without a problem, even spawning and killing the island endbosses (as a tank).

Eureka is great and engaging content with a lot player who love it. You can also finish a SB relic within one day.
And it is really active content right now.

I noped out in Pagos. I think I was up to the step of farming light or whatever it was in groups. And one day I said to myself "Self, you log in and you spend all your time in this instance closeted away from the rest of the game. You don't get to go do the things you enjoy. You can't really afford to take a day off because you've got a goal and you need to keep working toward it. But is that goal (in this case the relic) really worth it?"

And I decided no. I realized I was violating the promise I made to myself after over a decade in EverQuest that I was going to log in for a given night and do what I wanted to do and not do something unless I was enjoying myself. Once I got to Bozja and saw it was even worse because now you can't even progress using normal mobs and have to FATE farm ad nauseum to raise your mettle to get to the interesting content, I just noped right out.

So it's fun for some. I definitely give SE my feedback that it's not fun for me and I don't enjoy tying relics, something I loved to do in ARR and HW, to these zones. I think they aren't letting them stand on their own feet without the relics and if they are going to try new things, that's a new thing they should try. Give us casual endgame weapon questlines closer to ARR and HW instead of locking us away from the game like Eureka and Bozja. Nothing says whatever their new instanced zone in in EW (because I'm sure we're getting one) can't be one of the options for completing X step for any new relic line. Just make the questline also doable without ever setting foot in it.

And you're also running smack into a question that was often asked when this was current and is asked about Bozja now: What happens when people stop doing it? Just letting it die out seems antithetical to the design in this game, since there is so much effort made to keep older content populated and available for up and coming sprouts. But they really don't seem to be putting much thought into future-proofing these zones at all.
