FFXIV Minion Guide - A new site for minion and mount collectors!

Hey there everyone! I'm the owner of http://minionguide.com, a site to help all of those minion and mount owners figure out what they need and how to get them, as well as providing information on those minions for those of you who are interested in their lore or descriptions without wanting to actually get some of the rarer minions.

If you have any comments, suggestions, bug reports, anything whatsoever, don't hesitate to comment here or email me at minionguide@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter @minionguide.

Thanks!

Great site but it's depressing how many of the cool minions cannot be obtained anymore and so many can be "won" only by buying stuff =(

This mentality defeats the purpose of trying to collect the whole set since it's not possible anymore.

I agree that it'd be nice if buyable minions were obtainable in-game; perhaps from a limited-time event, and then later put in the cash shop for those who missed the event. It'd encourage people to pay the monthly subscription while not cheapening their collections.

Nice site... But depressing to see how many I'm missing, and I'm not even a minion collector ;)

I have to say, I prefer the cash shop minions to the rare ones like bluebird etc, because I don't have time to grind either maps, nor gil due to work. On the other hand, also due to work I don't mind paying a bit for minions. It would however be nice if the cash shop exclusives would be available in-game as well eventually.

these damn timeworn maps drop e_______e

Yep! We just need choice, I guess! :)

I've found that it's better just to farm and buy these from the MB. I hate relying on RNG; it ends up being super frustrating.

Thank you for the kind comments. :)

It is to note that you can't get the Dalamud Minion anymore, as the code expired on December 31st at <<<<<NOON PST>>>> the noon PST part not really made clear, so I lost on the minion by trying to claim it at 8PM EST on December 31st. SE can't retro-actively give it to you either.
So, Dalamud Minion is now an unobtainable minion.

Very nice site!

I thought this would just be like an information page, and was pleasantly surprised to see that I could look myself up (I'm assuming you used lodestone information for this) and actually filter which one's I'm missing. Apparently I never got around to getting Baby Bat... :p

This is a really cool little site!! +1 to you

Yep, I scrape Lodestone (maximum 1 time per 8 hours per character in order not to tax their servers). Glad you enjoy!

Ouch, good to know. I'll definitely indicate this on my next update. Perhaps I'll do a special unobtainable icon to indicate those that can no longer be obtained (Goobbue, Preorders, etc.)

Can't wait to look at this site stupid work firewall :/ I quickly glanced at it on my phone and looks like there is good information available

Yep, I have a tablet + mobile version of the site as well, so you should still see (most) of the information. I had to hide some stuff from the lists just to make it readable.

When I started working on this site, his hadn't been updated in over four months. I'm not sure if it's updated now (I haven't checked it since I started this one). The design is pretty basic for the moment, since it's in alpha and I don't have any design skills to make a cool logo.

Not a bad site. I did use http://http://www.xiv-minions.com/index.php previously, but hasn't been updated for awhile.

Awesome site, thank you :)

I JUST got the Wind-up Onion Knight from ST before 2.5 and now I have to grind another tower for another minion ;_; 111/114.
