Eureka Effect gear like the Vermillion Cloak and Kirin's Osode, in conjunction with +2 elemental gear and all the other bells and whistles, can make a solo player feel godlike.

You'll definitely want others to help with Baldesion Arsenal at the end of the line, but leading up to Hydatos, you can totally make do. And if you don't want to fight zone bosses for their weapon cap items, Birdwatchers now provide trade-ins. Frankly, since the Echo has been added, Eureka is in a better spot than it was in Stormblood proper.
That Vermilion piece has helped and Im up to level 7. I will look at this Osode later. We will see.
