Detailed Guide to Eureka Anemos

The Forbidden Land, Eureka Anemos is the first area of Eureka released in patch 4.25. It is the first of four stages for the Stormblood Eurekan Relic Weapons, and goes from level 1 to level 20.

Eureka Anemos is an land steeped in Wind-aspected aether, the landscape marked by massive gale-scarred rock formations, gigantic trees, and constant howling gusts. Many enemies in this area are aspected to wind, as are the Notorious Monsters ('NMs') that act as FATE bosses and the main source of rewards in the land. The icy spires of Pagos and the burning volcano of Pyros can be seen in the distance, as well as the towering Baldesion Arsenal.

Upon arriving for the first time, the player will find themselves in Port Surgate at the southern side of the map. After talking to Krile and Gerolt, the player will be tasked with obtaining a Protean Crystal. These drop randomly from most enemies, so either take the north exit and turn west to fight the Anemosslings, or take the east exist onto the beach to fight the Squibs. Once you get a Protean Crystal, return to base to complete the first quest.

As mentioned in the main Eureka page, the best way to level up is to chain mobs kills together in order to get EXP bonuses and complete the challenge log, while also defeating any NMs that spawn if they are up to +1 above your elemental level.

Additionally, there are two aetherytes available in this area: The Abandoned Laboratory, and The Windtorn Cabin. Both require the player to be Elemental Level 9 before they can be attuned to and used.

In Anemos, 1300 Protean Crystals are required in order to complete the relic. You will also need three Pazuzu's Feathers, an item that is primarily obtained from the Level 20 Notorious Monster Pazuzu, but can also be bought from the Expedition Birdwatcher. These Protean Crystals are only obtainable from standard mobs, but the NMs in Anemos offer another reward: Anemos Crystals. These crystals are directly required to obtain the dyeable i350 Artifact gear, but can also be exchanged at Gerolt in batches of 1, 10 or 50 for a random number of Protean Crystals, giving two and five per Anemos Crystal. As such, 100 Anemos Crystals will give between 200 and 500 Protean Crystals, averaging around 350.

Anemos Crystals are rewarded from NMs at a rate based on the level of that NM, with the level 1 NM giving just three and the level 20 NM giving 50. As such, it is very easy to finish your first Anemos relic simply by increasing your Elemental Level and doing the storyline. However, bear in mind that 99 Anemos Crystals are required to complete the level 17 quest, so these should be saved prior to being needed for that quest if possible.

The story in Anemos will continue upon reaching levels 3, 5, 13 and 17. These quests do not show up in the Journal, and will require players to search for an interactable Confluence using clues given by Krile in her dialogue for that quest.

Level 3: This Confluence can be found inside the Early Natural History Society Observatory at (X:13.5, Y:20.2). Be aware that enemies will spawn inside this building during the night.

Level 5: This Confluence can be found at the northern edge of The Orchard at (X:24.4, Y:23.1).

Level 13: This Confluence can be found by the Val River Swale at (X:20.9, Y:13.0).

Level 17: This Confluence can be found in the Uncanny Valley at (X:32.8, Y:18.3).

Additionally for the level 17 quest, once you have spoken with Krile again, you will need to travel to the Aethernet Control at (X:25.5, Y:16.1). Ensure you have 99 Anemos Crystals before this point, or you will need to delay progressing the story in order to get them.

Once you have completed the story of Anemos, you are able to proceed to Pagos. However it is heavily recommened to reach at least Elemental Level 20 before entering Pagos, and staying in Anemos until Elemental Level 22 or so will make the start of Pagos a little easier.
