The Forbidden Land, Eureka Anemos

Eureka Anemos is the first instance out of four Eureka instances. The main weather affinity of the instance is wind and the zone boss to get the last material for the weapons and gear from is Pazuzu.

Since this instance is the start of the Eureka Campaign, the zone focuses on introducing Eurekan Mechanics like Elemental level and Magia Board to the player.

Once Elemental level 20 is reached, you can continue your journey to Eureka Pagos.

## Getting Started

Once you finished the quest *And We Shall Call It Eureka* (Rhalgr's Reach via Galiena), you gain access to the first of four Eureka instances: Eureka Anemos.

While you usually join instances via the duty finder, you join Eureka instances via Rodney on Pier #1 in Kugane. When talking to him, you get different selections to choose from. By levelling up your Elemental Level, you gain access to the later instances of Eureka, which can be accessed just the same as Anemos.

Eureka works like an open zone, you can build parties inside, chat with people all over the instance and whisper people that are in the same instance as you. However, you cannot whisper outside the instance and while you are in one of the Eurekan instances you are shown as on duty in friend list and free company.

Once you entered the instance, you will find yourself in the main hub Port Surgate, where you find various NPCs, the Magia Melder and the Main Aetheryte of the instance. There will be a short quest, which wants you to talk to different folks around town to get you introduced to the various merchants and facilities, which will assist you on your journey and once you are done with that, you will have your first magicite for the Magia Board and youre ready to start your Eureka Adventure.

## Traveling across Anemos

Since Patch 5.1 you are able to ride mounts in Eureka from the start, which makes traversing the lands a lot easier.

Once you reach level 9, you will be able to attune to both Aetherytes *The* *Windtorn Cabin* on the eastern side and *The Abandoned Laboratory* on the northwestern side.

While you cannot just teleport to an Aetheryte by clicking on it on the map or via the Teleport-Menu, you can use Return, which will put you back to *Port Surgate*.

## NPCs

### **Expedition Chronicler**

Upon talking to this NPC, you will be able to get summaries of the Eurekan Expedition, which brought you here in the first place. As you progress through the zones you will be able to unlock more and more records of the expeditions. Once unlocked, you will find information about Baldesion Arsenal in here too.

### **Gerolt**

Well known from previous relic weapon and armor questlines, this NPC gives you information about and lets you upgrade your weapons and gear with crystals and materials collected from the zone, as well as exchange Anemos crystals for Protean crystals, which are needed for the upgrade and augment of relic gear and weapons. The table shows which items are needed for which step, please note that the gearpieces vary by name and prerequisite depending on job.

The armor you can upgrade in this zone is NOT needed for the elemental armor in later zones. As of this moment these armorpieces are only for glamour. The weapon however will be upgraded through all zones, which means if you want to reach the Eureka or Physeos stage of your weapon, you have to upgrade it all the way through Anemos, Pagos, Pyros and Hydatos.

## Fates

All Fates in the Eureka Instances are Notorious Monsters (NM). Usually those fates are spawned by defeating a specific enemy or enemy type and if at least 120 minutes have passed since the Fate was last active. Some Fates have specific conditions which have to be met in order to be spawned, or the monsters which are needed to spawn the fate might have conditions as well. A map of all Fates in Eureka Anemos can be found to the right side of this text.

The completion of Fates in Eureka Anemos will reward the player with Elemental EXP, Anemos Lockboxes and Anemos Crystals. Some Fates have added special drops, like minions or equipment.

To keep track of the instance and the Fates within, it is recommended to use a so called *Tracker.* Not only does it make the coordination of an instance easier but it will also help to check quickly, which Fates can be spawned, which ones will soon be spawnable and which conditions will be met soon.

## Zone boss: Pazuzu

The last notorious monster of the instance is Pazuzu, which will drop Pazuzu's Feathers for upgrading the Weapons to the Anemos Weapon. In order to do the upgrade you need 3 Feathers in total, which can either be dropped by the Fate or bought for 300 Protean Crystals. In order to get those drops from the Fate, you have to have an elemental level of 19 or higher, otherwise you wont get the drop.

Pazuzu needs to be prepped during night, because he requires wraiths to be killed. He himself can spawn during Gales weather, so keep an eye out for the night before gales.
