How to unlock The Arcadion: AAC Light-Heavyweight (Savage) in FFXIV (Final Fantasy XIV)

The Arcadion was introduced to Final Fantasy XIV with patch 7.01, and now two weeks later we鈥檙e getting patch 7.05 and the introduction of Dawntrail鈥檚 first savage raids. These are sure to be brutal, considering the d馃敮ifficulty of the normal raids, and will test even the most competent players skills.

Before you can unlock The Arcadion: AAC Light-Heavyweight (Savage), you鈥檒l need to unlock The Arcadion鈥檚 normal raids. We have a more in-depth guide for this process, but in short you鈥檒l need to:

• Reach level 100 with any Disciple of War or Magic Job
• Complete the level 100 MSQ quest 鈥楧awntrail鈥�
• Begin the road to unlocking The Arcadion by talking to the Stylish Stranger (X:19.1, Y:18.8) in Solution Nine and complete the quest 鈥楢 New Challenger Appears鈥�

How to unlock The Arcadion: AAC Light-Heavyweight (Savage)

Before you can unlock Dawntrail鈥檚 first savage raids, you鈥檒l need to complete the complete questline of the first four normal raids, up to and including the level 100 quest 鈥楾he Neoteric Witc馃悡h鈥�.

Once you鈥檝e done that, head back to Solution Nine and find Gabbro (X:22.3 Y:17.1). Talking to him will unlock all four of the savage raids for you to complete. After this point, you’ll be able to access the raids through the High End section of the Duty Finder. However, you’ll need to complete each raid in order, with the next one unlocking after a successful completion of the previous.

The Arcadion: AAC Light-Heavyweight (Savage) rewards

After successfully completing one of the savage fights, ge鈾揳r coffers will appear. The number of treasure coffers which will appear depends on the number of people who are replaying a duty prior to a weekly reset. 

These coffers contain items which, when used, will transform into ge馃厴ar suitable for the players current Job. In AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage), there will also be individual weapons which drop and can be rolled for. 

As well as these coffers, players will automatically earn copies of AAC Illustrated: LHW edition. These are the tokens for these raids, and you can exchange them for gear pieces by talking to Hhihwi in Solution Nine (X:8.7 Y:13.4).
