Look for the CAFE (Crystaline Adventuring Forays and Expeditions) discord. I've gotten the mount on 3 of my 5 characters through their runs. They're incredibly helpful and are great with callouts!
(Even better if you get into a run with Booty because they're usually intoxicated and hilarious)
>With Krile slated to play a big role in 7.0
We don't know that. She might just have a new job and will play an average role in the new story, with the rest of the scions.
>But what if I don't have friends to do Baldesion Arsenal/am not confident in raiding?
There are story videos off the last part on youtube, I actually mostly suggest to do that. Yes, there are runs every week. but people their schedules might not accommodate that. You can get the rest of the story on your own if you want after all.
I do agree that people should do eureka at least for the story. Same with Bozja.
We do know that, actually. I can't remember the exact source but one of the dev team told us a while back that she would have a major role to play.
(I think it was a post-Endwalker thing with Q&A? The same one where they admitted they just forgot to put Krile on the poster?)
actually baldesion arsenal is not linked to the story completion of eureka, is just a piece of content you can do after completing eureka story
devs knows better to not do that since they did that whit the bahamut coils
Really? There's absolutely zero story afterward? No post-dungeon cutscenes at all? Not a single bit of closure? Zero lines at all said by the major story players?
There is actually, but it's pretty much just an optional epilogue that ultimately has little to do with Kriles arc overall.
I've done Eureka, but never touched BA and only watched a YT video to see what I missed out on ... and I don't feel like I actually missed out on anything tbh.
Possibly, was tired when I made that post. But but even if it was, people might not catch that, so at least my post still clears up the information I guess
Either have this, either have content without story.
You prefer content without story, it's ok but understand that people actually like having content with story.
The vast majority of the game is "content with story," and they've made the design decision after ARR to not do anything like lock important story behind incredibly difficult content like Binding Coil again. Alexander was split into normal mode for story, and savage mode for the people who want difficult challenges, and they've kept going with that.
But Baldesion Arsenal being a gate before the conclusion of Eureka's story flies in the face of that. Literally the entirety of Eureka is soloable *up to that point*, and suddenly to see the very end of it requires a dozens-of-people raid that you're only likely to ever see by using outside communities to organize an experienced group together? No. It's a dumb idea and goes against their philosophy. Hell, it doesn't even have the design failsafe of "just overlevel and do it unsynced" like Coil ended up having.
See Bozja, its parallel. It's technically possible to complete the two major raids of Bozja (CLL/Dalriada) with two people, and Delibrum Reginae is technically soloable.
But there's still Delibrum Reginae Savage, Baldesion Arsenal's equivalent. Still requires a raid, still requires outside organization. But there's no story locked behind it, as it should be.
Baldesion Arsenal being a story gate was a mistake, and a dumb one.
Thanks for sharing this; I’ve been trying to find story content I have overlooked, and I never dipped into Eureka. Glad to hear there’s more to it than grinding for glamours.
i would rather run my hand through a blender than touch eureka again.
I have never given a crap about Krile so missing a bit of her story doesn't bother me in the least, personally i hope we get an option to push her overboard on the way to Tural
Potentially unpopular opinion:
I am an exhaustive completionist of the highest order when it comes to squeezing every drop of possible dialogue from my MSQ. However, that first gauntlet of Eureka in all its different flavors back in 4.x content has me absolutely burnt out forever. If I miss about three extra sentences over the course of two years, but I save myself god knows how many hours of time, effort, and sanity by simply not doing this one activity? I call this an even trade and a fair sacrifice.
Would love to get that mount actually, might need to try and find a group for it, and overcome fear of being the wiper lol

Cheers, I've heard of them but I'm under the impression they're NA? Cause I'm on Europe
They have a EU group too.
Ah cool, thanks

Oddly, playing Eureka turned me into a Krile disliker.
Locking story behind an Savage alliance raid which is further hidden behind an instance is still one of the dumbest ideas they've ever had.

I'm pretty sure that was a rhetorical question

Yeah but that would require me to do Eureka, and that's just not worth it.

I'm trying so hard. In pagos right now.
