Returning Player - Gobbue Mount?

I just reactivated yesterday - started playing during 1.x, ended up quitting right before "A Realm Reborn". I went through the quest chain to get the Gobbue Mount before it expired.

Anyway, I'm relearning the entire game, from the bottom up, having a blast...but I can't find my Gobbue Mount When I try to use the button for Mounts, I'm told

"That Command Is Unavailable At This Time"

Am I just missing something? Is my mount still there, and I just have to do something to ride/interact w/ him again?

Welcome back to Eorzea fellow Meteor Survivor! :D

Mounts in ARR are gained via a consumable item that 'unlocks' them, so for the 1.0 Gobbue mount if you transfered your 1.0 character that you had gained that mount on into ARR you should start ARR with a Gobbue Horn item in your inventory (if it's not in your inventory, find a special NPC in one of the three cities called a 'Calamity Salvager' - they store extra items that may be missing from your inventory (because ARR's inventory was reduced from the size of 1.0's one, so the Calamity Salvagers act as a kind of 'inventory overflow' for that).

Either way, find the Gobbue Horn item and use it and you'll have the Gobbue back. :)

That did it - thank you!

You won't have the option to use the mount command until the early 20's of main scenario. You should still be able to see your mount collection in Character > Mount Guide though.

Edit: Seems you're at that point and sorted it, happy days.

I just want to point out that is usually the case, for new players/new characters. Legacy characters from 1.0 however.... have immediate access to anything they previously unlocked in 1.0 (such as they can switch immediately to any class or Job they wish, but only classes or Jobs they had unlocked in 1.0 and had EXP in, can immediately access retainers, but again only the retainers they had hired back in 1.0, etc etc.).

And that includes access to mounts immediately - if a 1.0 player had unlocked the Company Chocobo or Gobbue in 1.0 (the only mounts available in that version of the game), then they have immediate access to them before they rejoin their Grand Company in ARR. It's a perk of having a 1.0 character. ;) (If a 1.0 player did not have a mount in 1.0 though... then they have to wait til level 20 when they join a GC and get the Company Chocobo just like new players).
