Alexander (Raid)
(Redirected from Alexander: Midas)Contents
Introduction[edit]
The "end-game" raid of Heavensward, Alexander deals with The Illuminati, one of the Goblin clans, and their attempts to reforge the world in their idea of a Utopia.
Alexander is split up into various sections, which are further split up into various wings for players to enter: Gordias, Midas, and The Creator. Each section of Alexander has Normal (Story) modes and Savage modes. Savage modes are a much harder version which offer stronger rewards. To unlock Alexander, players will first have to complete Disarmed. Each successive fight in Alexander requires players to complete the previous wing and a quest.
Token Explanation[edit]
Alexander normally does not drop straight gear. Instead, you will receive tokens that you must trade to an NPC located in Idyllshire in order to actually receive your gear. The number of tokens needed per slot is the same throughout the different sections.

Savage Difficulty[edit]
In order to unlock each section's Savage difficulty, you must complete all of the normal difficulty wings for the equivalent section and one additional quest, see below. All the savage modes for each section are unlocked simultaneously after completing the respective quest, and each wing can be started independently of one another. You do not need to complete the previous Savage section in order to unlock the next one.
List of Savage unlock quests:
- Gordias: Enigma and A Song of Steam and Steel
- Midas: A Gob in the Machine and A Refrain for the Undaunted
- The Creator: Of Endings and Beginnings and Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Retells Your Story
Savage Loot[edit]
Unlike Normal/Story difficulty, Savage difficulty raids DO drop actual loot. They also drop a Manifesto page, which is used to purchase the same gear (useful if your job's gear does not drop, but you acquire the right number of Manifesto pages to purchase one separately.)
- Please see each individual wing's page for the specific loot received, as it is too numerous to list in the tables below.
Alexander - Gordias (Savage)[edit]
After completing Alexander - Gordias, players who complete the Enigma and A Song of Steam and Steel quests can access Savage difficulty! The Minimum Item Level to enter varies, with the first wing being the lowest and increasing the further you go.
