The Arcadion opens its doors once again with the Savage Raid difficulty arriving in Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV), which has a whole new drop list that includes some of the best gear available in the game. Here’s what you can get from each and every encounter.
The Full FFXIV Arcadion (Savage) Raid Drops List
Each Savage fight in FFXIV has a fixed drop list which may have more items depending on how many players are eligible for rewards (in other words, how many haven’t cleared the fight yet this week). The conditions are the following:
- If all players are eligible, the chest contains four items (five in the fourth fight);
- If only 5 to 7 players are eligible, the chest contains two items;
- If 4 or fewer players are eligible, no chest will appear.
Some fights have fixed drops which always appear, assuming you got the full rewards. Once you roll for an item during this week, you cannot roll for it again until the next weekly reset, even if you clear it again with enough eligible players.

Each fight also gives you a book item similar to those obtained in the Normal difficulty. This book can be exchanged with Hhihiw in Solution Nine (X:9, Y:13) for the equipment normally dropped in the fight, serving as a way to gear up even if you’re unlucky with rolls. The book is automatically placed on your inventory upon completing the fight, and it’s also limited to one per week. The M4 book can be exchanged for other books from previous fights.
