Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail: how to get Dark Horse Champion gear
The Dark Champion gear can only be obtained by completing the Arcadion Light-heavyweight raids on Savage difficulty.This includes the first four fights of the Arcadion, and on Savage difficulty, are no joke.
You’ll want tomake sure you have a good team to run the content with, meaning a static or a party finder. Similarly, you’ll need to make sure you’ve studied the fights and have good enough gear, as every fight has a DPS check that must be met before you can clear it.
You can also prepare by ensuring you understand your class and rotation well, melding your gear with Materia, and also clearing the fights on Normal mode, to get a little idea of what you might expect.
Each time you clear one of the fights, Dark Horse Champion gear will drop. However, depending on where you cleared it, you’ll need to roll for the loot. You may get all the pieces, or you may get none, it all depends on your luck.
However, each time you clear a fight, you’ll also be rewarded a book that you can trade in at the Arcadion raid vendor in Solution Nine for gear. Each piece of gear has a different cost, however, so you’ll need to save these up if you want gear for yourself inFinal Fantasy XIVDawntrail.
