Eureka Club: Gotta Catch ’em All, Relic Edition

Hello everyone! Just a quick post about our rebooted Eureka club and how it’s not too late for ya’ll to get started on your relics and catch up before the newest expansion of the content (The Forbidden Land Eureka: Pagos) launches in a few weeks.

Last week Officer Kekechuri led a party of low-level people Ponyo, Danye and Korodi to complete their challenge log entries and earn massive experience for the amount of time spent, getting them all one (large) step closer to those sweet, sweet relics!

There are two main goals of Eureka: Collect Anemos Crystals (and Protean crystals although Anemos converts to Protean at a rough rate of 3.5 Protean per 1 Anemos, so collecting Anemos truly collects both types) and increase your Elemental Level (or elvl for short). The Eureka story ends at elvl 17, and you can begin collecting the final piece for your relic weapon one level later at 18. Level 18 should be your end goal for this reason, although the cap is elvl 20.

People get the most gains when they are grouped with people around the same level and with the same goal. For this reason Eureka Club night runs two parties: a low-level (e lvl 1-8) and high level (elvl 9+). The low-level party focuses on getting experience by chaining 60 of three different elemental monsters (totalling 180 mobs), this completes your challenge log and will give you a huge experience bonus. If all 180 mobs are killed, expect to gain 4 to 5 levels!

After reaching level 9 or higher, it finally becomes profitable to participate in the Notorious Monster FATE train! By farming particular mobs (sometimes under time/weather conditions), bosses can be spawned. These bosses give large EXP returns, and drop a bunch of Anemos crystals if you are within three levels of the boss. This is the most effective way to gain Anemos (and Protean) crystals.

Relics can be bought with Protean crystals (the final upgrade is bought directly with Anemos), and you will several hundred crystals, but don’t worry. Farming with a like-minded group of people will get you those rewards in no time at all! Let the EUREKA CLUB show you how.

The Eureka Club meets Wednesday evenings starting at 8:30pm Central Time. Join goal-oriented parties with clear and direct leadership under Officer Kekechuri Hohochuri. Professors will be able to answer your questions about any aspect of the content at any time. No pressure stress-free learning and farming for all! Please join us and watch the Discord for event reminders.

See you all there!

Can’t fight the moonlight: The Royal Academy clears Tsukuyomi Extreme and the Ridorana Lighthouse

Final Fantasy XIV patch 4.3 launched on Tuesday, May 22 and our Stabbies wasted no time in conquering content!

On Wednesday, we offered a virginal run of the newest 24-man raid: The Ridorana Lighthouse. Party was lead by Headmistress Kela and featured a full party of Stabbies: Mana, Luna, Mika, Bella, Tohja, Genesis and Ricola. There were four bosses and while the healer limit break was used on every single boss, there were only two wipes, one to Contruct 7 and one to Yaizmat. After 70 minutes, the instance was learned and cleared with everyone receiving their weekly token and some winning loot as well. If you would like to join us in future for learning/weekly clearing of The Ridorana Lighthouse (helpful for coordinating drops with the new greed-only system), that club meeting will occur every Tuesday Evening at 8:30pm Central Time for the rest of the patch.

The following day we offered a learning party of The Minstrel’s Ballad: Tsukuyomi’s Pain and were pleasantly surprised with a clear of this extremely difficult instance after only about 90 minutes of work. Kela led the instance with expert advice from Mana, both of whom had prior clears. Bella and Ricola earned first-time clears and we were joined by four pick-up players as well. For those looking to learn the new extreme primal in a friendly, helpful environment so to earn new weapons, mounts and other excellent rewards: please join us. This club is held weekly on Thursdays at 8:30pm Central and is hosted by Luna. We frequently also offer farms on request.

Thank you to all who participated for your commitment to excellence. You are what make this Free Company so successful. To the rest, we look forward to having you participate in events such

as these in future!

 

Brynhildr Server-Wide PvP night is rousing success

Our PvP revival night took place on Tuesday April 24th and began at 8:30pm central time and lasted two hours. We played several matches of 4 on 4 Feast and interfaced with the community. Combatants were as follows:

From the Academy:
Headmistress Kela, Korodi, Ricola, Rhoamer, Sylvis and Danye

From Brynhildr
Sierra Delacroix, Kyrina Mioda, Mima Sarima and Auron Valentine. Thank you so much for attending our event, especially Sierra who brought experience and an upbeat, helpful attitude, and Kyrina and Auron who were trying out PvP for the first time – hope you enjoyed it!

We also had several spectators from around the Primal Data Center, and probably other names who came and left throughout the evening. We hope to front more than one party next week so we can have less swapping/filling and more matches. We may also try Rival Wings if we can get a handful of small groups.

See you next week and thank you for your support Brynhildr!
