Mounts are among the most coveted collectibles in *Final Fantasy XIV*, and some are particularly challenging to obtain. The Falcon mount is a prime example, available only during special events. If you're eager to add this classic mount to your collection, here's a comprehensive guide on how to get 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 for its exclusivity but for the unique way it's obtained.
The Falcon mount was first introduced during the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign, celebrating the release of the *Stormblood* expansion in Summer 2017. Players who maintained a subscription for at least 90 days during the campaign received the mount as a special reward. However, once the campaign concluded, the mount became unobtainable, leaving later players disappointed in their quest to complete their mount collections.
How to Get the Falcon Mount in FFXIV
Fortunately, there's now a new avenue to acquire this elusive mount. The recurring Moogle Treasure Trove event offers a chance to obtain a variety of sought-after rewards, including the **Falcon Ignition Key**. To participate in the event and earn these rewards, you must complete qualifying in-game duties, which include even GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah.
The event also features special challenges in the Mogpendium, such as weekly challenges and the one-time Ultimog challenge, which can boost your rewards. By completing these tasks, you'll earn Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, the event's special currency. You can then exchange these Tomestones with the Initerant Moogle NPC, located in all three major cities, for various rewards. The Falcon mount specifically requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria**.
The current Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event is scheduled to end with the launch 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.
