Fans of the Arcadion in Final Fantasy XIV will be happy to know that there is new content available for them. Patch 7.2 saw the release of more Arcadion raid content for players, including the second set of raid battles to take on. Find out how to unlock the FFXIV AAC Cruiserweight Tier content and its more challenging Savage version below.
How to Unlock the FFXIV AAC Cruiserweight Tier and Savage
To unlock the new Cruiserweight Tier, you will need to have first completed the Arcadion quest “The Neoteric Witch.” You will then need to start the next quest that dropped with 7.2, “Souls under Siege.” This chain of new quests found in Solution Nine from the NPC Yaana at X: 22.2, Y: 16.6 will allow you to automatically unlock the new Cruiserweight Tier so you can start doing these four fights.
That said, there is an item level requirement as always. This time around, you will need at least item level 715 to be able to do this content. You will also need to complete the normal versions in order to unlock Savage. Savage releases a week after the regular versions on April 1, 2025.
AAC Cruiserweight Tier Rewards, Explained
The main purpose of doing the new AAC Cruiserweight Tier in FFXIV is to get the new gear and rewards. As always, you will get tomestones as a reward for each completion of these. You will get 20 Tomestones of Heliometry and 10 Tomestones of Mathematics for each completion of the four turns.
In addition to that, you will get one Cruiser Holosaber once per week for each M4 (the final fight in this tier) you complete. You will also be able to roll on a single piece of currency, at least until the restriction is lifted, that you can turn in for a gear piece of a particular equipment type for the job of your choosing. Here is how many of each items you need for each piece:
- Cruiser Holohelm x2: Headpiece of your job
- Cruiser Holosurcoat x4: Body piece
- Hologauntlets x2: Hands piece
- Cruiser Holotrousers x4: Legs
- Cruiser Holosabatons x2: Feet
- Holobrooch x1: Accessory
