Mounts are among the most coveted collectibles in *Final Fantasy XIV*, with some being more challenging to acquire than others. A prime example of a hard-to-get mount is the Falcon mount, which is only available during special events. If you're eager to add 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?
Up to the latest *Dawntrail* expansion, *FFXIV* boasts hundreds of mounts that players can unlock and ride across Eorzea and beyond. The Falcon mount stands out as one of the rarest, not just because of its exclusivity but due to the unique method required to obtain it.
The Falcon mount was first introduced during the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign, which celebrated the release of the *Stormblood* expansion in Summer 2017. Players who subscribed for at least 90 days during the campaign period were rewarded with this exclusive mount. Unfortunately, once the campaign concluded, the mount was no longer available, leaving latecomers to *FFXIV* disappointed in their quest to complete their mount collection.
How to Get the Falcon Mount in FFXIV
Fortunately, there's now a new way to acquire this elusive mount. The Moogle Treasure Trove event offers players a chance to earn various rewards, including exclusive items like the **Falcon Ignition Key**. To participate, you need to complete any of the qualifying in-game duties, which can even include GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah.
Additionally, you can tackle special challenges listed in the Mogpendium, such as weekly challenges and the Ultimog challenge, which can be completed once per event. Completing these tasks will earn you Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, the event's unique currency. These can be exchanged for rewards at the Initerant Moogle NPC, located in all three main cities. The Falcon mount specifically requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria**.
The Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event will continue until the release of Patch 7.2, scheduled for **March 25**. This gives you a limited window to secure the Falcon mount before the next Moogle Treasure Trove event, so make sure you don't miss this opportunity.
