  1. On primal there also maybe 2 guys that always insta pull and looks like they are doing eureka forever cause I did my first relic and after months I returned and these same guys were insta pulling, besides that I really enjoyed the content

  2. BA is not hard now yes but when it first came out this shit was terribly hard. also eureka is my favorite content in game to the point i want to help everyone so they can enjoy it like i did.

  3. Drops for monsters in Pyros and Hydatos do sell, but this is so expansive people usually look cross server or cross dc even. That's why they do not sell that often on your server. If you list them at the correct price, they will sell in a day or two usually.

  4. I did Eureka when I was in NA (Primal) insta-pullers also exists particularly for Crab and Cassie in Pagos, Skoll, Yin Yang, and Lamebrix in Pyros, Molech, Goldemar, and Ceto in Hydatos. I'm now in OCE (Materia) and glad to say no insta-pullers in OCE. There are also people there that came from JP and they confirmed to me that no insta-pullers in JP as well.

  5. instapullers do suck, but tbh it also sucks that people expect everyone to wait an indefinite amount of time. " Extend Pulltime " being wrote in shout chat multiple times after already waiting like 5 minutes its just ridiculous. We ain't waiting for Grandma and her bingo club to arrive…

  6. Welcome to the club. I did it last year and had a great experience. The only thing I haven’t done is BA. Hopefully soon. I got back into it recently to farm for boxes and get stuff to sell.

  7. Pagos is hell on release.. They nerf light farming so much making it more bearable then before…so added like times 10 to that dark soul comment if u thought it was bad before XD. Dragons at the time was best light farming method on release. Last zone was ok-ish I wish they increase crystal drop rates before shb came out.

  9. Wow… instapullers in Pyros sounds like a pain. I've run around there a bit but never hear about that on EU.

    I've been in Pyros for years. Mostly because life and social problems, but also because the whole scheme switching from "oh just elemental wheel it" to "and get the right actions you dummy" made me fear the place even more. This is being said as someone who only went there because a friend wanted to try to do the content and they could solo things as WHM for the weekly things.
    Still want the BA mount, but probably never going to get that far – my imposter syndrome is way too strong for me to think I even deserve to try.

  10. Thank you for this. It's a perfect balance of detailed but being concise on what you need to know. When a friend finishes Stormblood, I'm excited to hop into Eureka with them and our FC.

  11. Eureka is definitely my favourite content in the game. Sometimes when I have a bad day I head there and chill. I had zero issues with Pagos, in fact is probably my favourite zone lol. I like it when it takes effort to do stuff. And yes the community in Eureka is amazing.

  12. Back in Stormblood I kind of just ditched Eureka once I got my Pyros weapon for my smn because I just thought the weapon just looked ugly after upgrading it further. Back then people were scary about entering BA too and you had to be like a professional gamer but nowadays it seems people are desperate for bodies in BA lol so maybe it is a good time to return

  13. Just finished Eureka and got my Elemental Armor(which I came in for), the first 20 levels are true pain. Then from there its smooth sailing and tons of fun. People are usually helpful. The only sad thing is most people don't Run Baldesion Arsenal so I now need to find a Party for that

  14. Baldesion Arsenal is my favorite piece of content in this game. I will literally never forget the first time I ran it, got to ozma, hear the shot caller say something about the slippery corners…. and immediately fall to my death and got sucked out of the raid LOL. Still came back next run and got the clear tho!

  15. Ah yes the Aether instapullers. It's a few select people. You play enough and you eventually learn who they are. If you see them in the instance you know the instapulls are about to start. I have been in instances without them at some unholy hours and people wait for every single NM

  16. Are you planning on tackling Delubrum Reginae Savage next? It is the love child between a raid tier savage and BA. The mechanics are more complex, failure is more punishing and cooperation and communication is a must. It has ease of entry unlike BA but the pace at which you progress can be gruelling because of how hard the bosses can be and the extra challenges of combining the lost actions to optimise damages and mitigation. Bozja is so rewarding to play is the result of Eureka's various trials and error. I am a bit disappointed EW will not have a similar content but I do cheer the return of deep dungeon this patch. Perhaps next expansion we can have something like BA and DRS again.

  17. Eureka is pure ass. Nothing about it is fun. I've suffered to 53 want to finish but just can't take myself back in there. Never once have I thought the Eureka community was nice a bunch of assholes 99% of the time. Like where are you guys playing?? Logograms can cost as much as 10k each on the MB and you aren't guaranteed what you even get.

  18. Simple solution for those ppl who want to leveling in eureka but got no friends to play with as a group

    Play as SGE

    You can use it as soon as you unlock the job, and also a good place to getting used as the healer. The only thing you need to do is put kardia on yourself and voila! You can even fights enemy that has higher elemental level than you (from my personal experience is the highest you can challenge is two level higher tops, three level diff still can melt you with their autos)

  19. Cool timing. Eureka is something I started, but didn't actually get through. (literally got into the instance and left after gaining a level) I've been asking a friend if they wanna run through it and I think now is finally the time.

  20. I went into Eureka with a keen interest on quite a number of relics, about 7 weapons and three gear pieces. I hadn't heard great things about Eureka, and I thought if I was gonna do it I might as well get everything while I'm in there because it would be highly unlikely that I'd touch it again. So instead of 1300 protean crystals in anemos, I'm farming 13000. I was at about 10000 protean crystals when the burnout started to kick in, and I worried I might have made the wrong decision. Hearing you talk about the crystal situation in Hydatos, I'm not sure I'm gonna make it.
