AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage)
AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage) is the third and final section of The Arcadion (Savage), the main 8-player high-end raid in Dawntrail. Released on January 6, 2026, three weeks after Heavyweight Normal, AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage) requires players with item level of 760 or higher to enter. Once unlocked, players can use Party Finder or other means of forming a full premade party before entering the raid, which is located in Raid Finder → Raids.
The extended delay of this raid tier's release was to avoid coinciding with the holiday season.
Unlock
To access AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage), players must speak with Gabbro in Solution Nine (X:22.3, Y:17.1) with a level 100 Disciple of War/Magic after completing the quest, Glory Incarnate. They do not need to have completed any prior Savage raids.
As of patch 7.56, there are no weekly restrictions on entering the raid.

Gear
Rewards
Upon completing AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage) duties, one treasure coffer will appear containing Grand Champion's Equipment Coffers and other rewards, which can be rolled on. Using an equipment coffer transforms it into gear corresponding to the user's current job. Duplicate equipment coffers in a single treasure coffer will not appear. In addition to a weapon coffer, the coffer that appears upon completing AAC Heavyweight M4 (Savage) yields a random Grand Champion's Weapon.
Weekly loot limits were removed in patch 7.56.
In addition to equipment coffers, certain AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage) duties will also drop items that are needed to upgrade IL 780 Bygone Brass Weapons, armor, and accessories to IL 790 Augmented Bygone Brass Weapons, armor, and accessories. The final duty also drops an exclusive mount and orchestrion roll, in addition to a minion ( Grooving Green) that can be obtained from the normal-difficulty version.

|---|---|---|
| Universal Tomestone 3.0 | For purchasing an IL 780 Bygone Brass Weapon | AAC Heavyweight M2 (Savage) |

Item Exchange
In addition to gear, players will receive an AAC Illustrated: HW Edition from each area, which can be exchanged for gear of your choosing. Instead of being rolled on, these automatically go to the player's inventory upon completing the duty.
By speaking with Hhihwi in Solution Nine (X:8.7, Y:13.4), players can exchange AAC Illustrated: HW Edition from AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage) for corresponding gear.
