How to Unlock AAC Light-Heavyweight Tier Savage Raids in FFXIV

In order to unlock the AAC Light-Heavyweight Tier Savage Raids you will need to do the following:

  • Reach Level 100 on any Disciple of War or Magic Job Class
  • Reach Item Level 700
  • Complete The Archadion (AAC Light-Heavyweight Tier) Normal Raids

Once you have done the following, teleport to Solution Nine and speak to Gabbro at X:22.2, Y:17.1. After telling Gabbo about the events that transpired in The Archadion, he will add some embellishments to the tale. What he tells you will provide some hints as to the new trials and tribulations you will face in The Archadion Savage Raid.

If you are looking to jump into this set of Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail Savage Raids, but haven’t yet completed The Archadion Normal you can read our guide on how to do so here. These Raids are definitely more frenetic than previous tiers, and will keep you on your toes throughout. The Savage Raids will ramp that up a notch.
