Mounts are highly coveted items among *Final Fantasy XIV* players, and some are particularly challenging to obtain. One such mount is the Falcon, which is only available during special events. If you're keen on adding this classic mount to your collection, here's a comprehensive guide on how to secure the Falcon mount in *FFXIV*.
What is the Falcon Mount in FFXIV?
*Final Fantasy XIV*, up to its latest *Dawntrail* expansion, boasts a vast array of mounts that players can unlock and ride across Eorzea and beyond. Among these, the Falcon mount stands out due to its rarity, not in terms of ownership but in how it's acquired.
The Falcon mount was initially introduced during the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign, launched to celebrate the *Stormblood* expansion in Summer 2017. Players who subscribed for a minimum of 90 days during the campaign period were rewarded with this exclusive mount.
After the campaign's conclusion, the Falcon mount became unavailable, leaving many newer players disappointed as they missed out on this unique collector's item.
How to Get the Falcon Mount in FFXIV
Fortunately, there's now a new way to acquire this elusive mount. The recurring Moogle Treasure Trove event offers players a chance to earn various sought-after rewards, including mounts, minions, furnishings, and exclusive accessories like earrings.
Currently, the Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event includes the **Falcon Ignition Key** as a high-value reward. To participate and earn rewards, you must complete the event's qualifying duties, which can include even the GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah.
The event also features special challenges listed in the Mogpendium, such as weekly challenges and the one-time Ultimog challenge, which offer bonus rewards.
By completing these tasks, you'll earn Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, the event's special currency. You can then exchange these tokens with the Initerant Moogle NPC, found in all three major cities, for your desired rewards. The Falcon mount specifically requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria**.
The Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event will run until the release of Patch 7.2, scheduled for **March 25**. This gives you a limited window to claim the Falcon mount before the next Moogle Treasure Trove event, so make sure to seize the opportunity.
That wraps up our guide on how to obtain the Falcon mount in *Final Fantasy XIV*. For more *FFXIV* content, including how to get the Rroneek mount from the *Dawntrail* expansion, be sure to explore our other guides.
