    If you are not up for it, find something else or simply take a break from it.

    lol, lmao even

    in serious tho, learn to use the magia to your benefit, more damage means faster,

    dont worry about making a relic, doesnt matter, just focus on completing the zone

    once you get to hydatos. find whatever discord for your region, sign up for ba, and learn how to make the out rez ability so even if you muck it up you can be dragged through

    no one can make u like something, but if you want that orb you gotta grit your teeth and learn to play poker when the dealer says its poker

    I mean I'm not lying. You can be a jerk all you want, but at least I'm upfront about it.

    Yep, it's boring. I finished the ARR relics I didn't have and only have 4 more animas to do so I've been looking more at Eureka. Also because of Triple Triad. And Pyros isn't horrible but it's not really that fun, either. I help a friend finish her challenge log (and end up doing mine too but I don't really care about mine as much) and then just leave it for the week unless I want to go in for relic stuff. I finally pushed my Pagos + 1 to Elemental last night after doing some light farming. There groups doing NMs but they assume everyone already knows where to find everything and how to get there and some will pull even when others say they're on the way. So I've been looking into how to solo farm light since that's at my pace.

    It's really just not fun, though. I hated this place when it was populated and all I can say about it now is that it's faster with the Echo.

    Honestly? If you don’t find it fun, then don’t do it. It’s one of those l”If you want the reward, then you better work for it or you get nothing.”-kind of content.

    The odds are heavily stacked against you when even learning how Magia works is walling you. Not going to add anything more though, Jeeqbit has laid a good guide for you. Take your time trying to understand it & maybe ask around (friends? FC? random? Your call). If you want to go abit deeper, maybe they could evrn guide you on how to use abuse the Logos Actions, too. I cannot promise you it’ll be a fun process, that’s relative. But I do believe by understanding these you will be able to smoothen your experience in the content, solo and/or party, and I think that’s also an important part.

    If all else fail, then use the challenge log and only go back in to earn levels slowly weekly.

    There were few things I personally did to achieve that in the past:
    • Eye for the Cassie prep groups, ideally 1-2 weathers before Blizzard weather sets in. Being in these pre-prepper groups yields you so much lights you’re usually guaranteed to overcap your kettles at least twice or thrice per session.
    • A purely solo farm would be chaining or mass pulling mobs 2-3 levels above you. On bonus side, try to kill an undead/sprites on #20 or #30 chain to fish for 1 full bar of light bonus (this bonus part is anecdotal from my own experience, take it as a grain of salt). Mind you, this is very mind-numbing even with full elemental gears.

    You can hit me up if you see me loitering in-game. If I’m able to at the moment, I’ll give you a hand.

    I was doing pretty good 30 chaining goobues at night and world serpents during the day. 36 moocows by the aetheryte aren't too bad either but that gets interrupted by spawners coming and razing them all. I was using GNB at first and it was fine, but RPR can tear through those like butter and I have some Eureka potions for backup to crest, second wind, and bloodbath since they can hit a bit hard sometimes. Was getting good gentle and bright light. I just started trying to solo chain stuff last night before maint so I'm going to see how I do against some 37 stuff.

    I've only been back in Eureka for a few weeks now but I've never seen anyone doing anything with Cassie. Guess I'm just missing the spawns. I mosey over to Louhi when the NM train is getting it ready since I can use those ices and save on crystals. And I might pop onto a NM if it's nearby. It just doesn't seem worth it trying to chase the train around getting some solo farming in.

    I like Pyros better as a zone but I'm not looking forward to that next relic step since you can only get crystals from NMs. Yay, endless FATE farming. At least that light step is optional. I haven't looked at what the tedium of Hydatos will be yet.

    I think it really depends on your goal. If it’s solely to light farm in Pagos uninterrupted, I would suggest picking mobs that aren’t regularly farmed to spawn easy NMs. Thunder Dragons (spawns Behemoth but limited to Thunderstorm weather) & mobs in the narrow pathway around the northern bunny are decent for this purpose specifically. Moocows are great alternative like you’ve mentioned but it’s only natural to see folks coming in to raze your mobs the moment somebody decide to prep the NM. Then again I suppose you can pick up the crystal when the NM spawn and carry on with your business after.

    Some Cassie preppers tracks in-game weather table & normally present 1-2 weather cycle before the actual Blizzard weather sets in because how finicky Cassie is to spawn. Normally when these groups presents, Cassie would’ve been long dead if you happen to enter an instance while Blizzard is going on.

    I felt the same way for Pyros. Then again, we have Logos Actions to smoothen the progress so imho it’s a decent trade-off. There are handful of powerful & cheap combinations to facilitate solo plays.

    Yeah what's why I liked the world serpents and the goobues. Do the sneks during the day then run past the bunny fate and hit up the goobues at night.

    I do like Logos Actions and there's a lot of solo potential for leveling but I don't know how well I would do with NMs solo. Plus there are usually groups doing the NMs but it's rapid fire like with Pagos. And I'm just so tired of FATE farming as SE's answer to everything. Before Eureka came out I had really been hoping for a zone with some sort of missions or quests and a reason to go there daily or weekly besides just something minimal like the challenge log (which IIRC we didn't even have at first). That's the sort of thing they could have tied relic progression to and made sure to future proof it appropriately.

    If you find Eureka leveling is so mind numbing, then do the weekly challenge logs for exp, then call it off. Rinse and repeat till max level.


    I did the thing once and will never do it ever again. Bozja > Eureka mechanic-wise.
