Mounts are a cherished aspect of *Final Fantasy XIV*, and among them, some are particularly challenging to acquire. The Falcon mount stands out as one of these rare treasures, available only during special events. If you're keen on adding this classic mount to your collection, here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain the Falcon mount in *FFXIV*.
What is the Falcon Mount in FFXIV?
*Final Fantasy XIV* boasts a vast array of mounts that players can unlock and ride across Eorzea and beyond, up to the latest *Dawntrail* expansion. Among these, the Falcon mount is particularly rare, not because of its scarcity among players, but due to the unique way it can be obtained.
Initially introduced during the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign to celebrate the launch of the *Stormblood* expansion in Summer 2017, the Falcon mount was a reward for players who subscribed for at least 90 days during the campaign. Once the campaign concluded, the mount became unavailable, leaving many newer players disappointed as they missed their chance to acquire this iconic mount.
How to Get the Falcon Mount in FFXIV
Fortunately, there's now a new avenue to obtain this elusive mount. The recurring Moogle Treasure Trove event offers players a chance to earn various exclusive rewards, including mounts, minions, furnishings, and accessories like event-exclusive earrings.
The current Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event includes the **Falcon Ignition Key** as one of its prized rewards. To participate, players need to complete any of the qualifying duties within the game, including GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah. Additionally, you can take on special challenges listed in the Mogpendium, such as weekly challenges and the one-time Ultimog challenge, to earn bonus rewards.
By completing these tasks, you'll earn Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, the event's special currency. These can then be exchanged with the Initerant Moogle NPC, located in all three main cities, for any rewards you desire. The Falcon mount specifically requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria**.
The Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event is scheduled to run until the release of Patch 7.2 on **March 25**. This gives you a limited window to secure the Falcon mount before the next Moogle Treasure Trove event, so make sure to seize the opportunity while it lasts.
