Eureka Weapon Progression Overview
| Stage | Weapon Tier | Main Activity | Zone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anemos | Protean Crystal farming + NM trains | Anemos |
| 2 | Elemental | Kettle farming + NM chains | Pagos |
| 3 | Pyros | Logos Actions + NM farming | Pyros |
| 4 | Eureka | Hydatos + Baldesion Arsenal | Hydatos |
Eureka Weapons are unique among relics because progression happens entirely inside instanced zones. Instead of tomestones or dungeons, the system focuses on Notorious Monster farming, elemental leveling, and zone-specific mechanics.
Stage 1 — Anemos Weapons
This stage focuses on collecting Protean Crystals and defeating Notorious Monsters.
- 1300 Protean Crystals
- 3 Pazuzu’s Feathers
Fastest Method: Join NM train groups. This dramatically speeds up crystal farming compared to solo play.
Stage 2 — Elemental Weapons (Pagos)
Pagos introduces kettle mechanics and slower progression.
- Frosted Protean Crystals
- Pagos Crystals
- Louhi’s Ice
Tip: Keep your kettle charges active at all times to avoid slowing your progression.
Stage 3 — Pyros Weapons
This stage introduces the Logos Action system, adding a new layer of progression.
- Pyros Crystals
- Penthesilea’s Flame
- Logos Actions
Strategy: Progress Logos Actions alongside relic farming to avoid backtracking later.

Stage 4 — Eureka Weapons (Hydatos)
The final stage takes place in Hydatos and may include Baldesion Arsenal progression.
- Hydatos Crystals
- Crystalline Scales
- Eureka Fragments (optional)
Tip: Baldesion Arsenal rewards optional upgrades that improve performance inside Eureka zones.
How Long Do Eureka Weapons Take?
- Anemos: 3–6 hours
- Pagos: 6–12 hours
- Pyros: 6–10 hours
- Hydatos: 4–8 hours
Most players can expect 20–40+ hours to complete a full Eureka relic, depending on group efficiency.
Eureka Weapon Farming Tips
- Always join Notorious Monster trains — this is the fastest progression method.
- Avoid solo grinding unless required for leveling or kettle charges.
- Prioritize gold participation in NM FATEs for maximum rewards.
- Stay in active instances with organized players.
- Combine relic progression with elemental leveling to maximize efficiency.
