As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent exploring the vast worlds of MMORPGs, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation as the release of the new Savage difficulty in Arcadion draws near. With my experience from past raids, I know that preparation is key to success.
If you aim to join the Savage mode of the Arcadion, here are some steps to help you get ready with ease. In this straightforward guide, I’ll walk you through the process of equipping yourself and making preparations for your Savage journeys. Many of these tips will also benefit you in the raid levels.
Pre-Patch Preparation
Here are a few things you can do ahead the release.
Crafting
If you want to make a good start in the Savage Raids, don’t miss your chance to obtain new equipment from the latest Extreme Trials. At Workshop of the Lost Sage (Extreme), you can acquire weapon upgrades with an item level of 710, while Everkeep (Extreme) is the place for new accessories with the same item level.
Gear
If you enjoy dabbling in crafting, you have the option to begin farming Scripts from Collectables and Custom Deliveries. These Scripts are necessary to acquire the new Master Recipes, which introduce weapon and armor sets with item levels starting at 710. Additionally, farming Golden Scripts for Gatherers can provide special materials required for crafting these sets or offer a profitable sale on the market board.
Savage Launch
But the real work stars, once the new Savage Raid tier is out.
Crafted Gear
From now on, it’s time for some serious preparation. If your goal isn’t a World First victory, enhancing your armor with homemade items (assuming you’ve conquered Extreme Trials or completed some slots using normal raid gear) will suffice. You can acquire these enhancements by purchasing them from the marketplace or creating them yourself.
Tomestone Gear
As a devoted fan, I’d advise you not to rush into raiding right away if you don’t intend to do so on the first day or even the first hour. Instead, take your time to gather some newly introduced tomestone currency. Keep in mind that you can only earn up to 450 per week. This currency is best invested in rings or other accessories. Once you’ve upgraded these items, focus on acquiring the pieces required for the best-in-slot gear. You can obtain the upgrade materials by completing Savage Raids or exchanging books from clearing them.
Melding Materia & Overmelding
As a seasoned player with years of experience in raiding, I can tell you from my personal perspective that it’s not mandatory to infuse every single piece of gear with Materia to be competitive in raids. However, those small boosts in damage or hit points can often tip the balance in your favor during intense battles.
If you’re aiming for exceptional results, you need to carefully combine or enhance your gear beyond its standard capabilities. This process is exclusively applicable to crafted items and comes with a significant price tag since the likelihood of combining further materials decreases as more have already been added to an equipment piece. Instead, make do with what you currently possess; there’s no need to splurge excessively on gear that will likely be replaced in the near future.
Consumables
During raids, consuming food instead of tinctures offers significant benefits. Properly chosen meals can boost your stats for half an hour, whereas tinctures are utilized in critical moments. Raiding without food is not recommended; DPS classes can benefit from any food that increases Determination, Critical Hit, or Direct Hit Rate. Healers and Tankers should focus on foods enhancing Piety and Tenacity respectively. Newly introduced raid-day meals will be available for purchase, so make sure to save some coins for them.
