Rewards

Upon completing AAC Light-heavyweight Tier (Savage) duties, one treasure coffer will appear containing Dark Horse 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 Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage) yields a random Dark Horse Champion's Weapon.

Weekly loot limits were removed in patch 7.18.
