Hello again guys! So... I just got through "A realm Reborn" and got my second mount. My question is; what are the easier-to-get mounts after level 50?
I love to collect minions, and now i'm decided to start getting the mounts. Any recommendations? :p
Mounts for noobs?

The Elemental Ponies from the extreme trials are a good choice. People often farm them in PF and you need minimum level 50 to join those. :)
You still need to unlock the fights however which will require going through the patches after ARR to Heavensward.
You can also unlock the beast tribes and do their daily quests. Eventually you get a mount from each tribe as a reward but it will take some time. -

Amazing, thank you very much. :)

11-24-2017, 01:03 AMAvatreThese ones also help you to unlock crafting materials if that's your thing. Along with another way to get items for the Heavensward relic if you decide to do that(though you can farm Poetics which is rather quick these days).Quote:

Primals (if you have a good group) can be a very quick and easy farm (easy: Garuda, Shiva, Titan / be mindful of mechanics: Ramuh, Ifrit / go die in a fire: Leviathan). You can also get some decent glam weapons, crafting materials (which make nice bardings for your chocobo, as well as weapons!) and if you level desynth, is a great way to get battlecraft demimateria III, which sell decently. King Mog doesn't have a mount but his crafting items go for a lot, and make some really cute weapons. Plus, once you get 60, they can be a good way to fill your Wonderous Tails, which can sometimes give minions.

Do you have the unicorn already? You get it by levling conjurer up to 30, that will open up a special questline.
The Gold Saucer currently has three mounts aswell - rangging from 200k MGP to 1 Million MGP in costs. Takes a bit of a grind, but its easy enough! Daily mini-cacpot and weekly challenge log are your friends here!
The Zu-Mount is brought back by airships - either ask your FC-leader if they can try to get you one (comes from sector 24) or maybe buy it on the market board...? At least on my server they're not thaaaat expensive anymore.
If you want to truely collect mounts, I recommend getting into PvP and earn yourself a Garo-title! You do that by buying a full set of Garo-gear and then talk to that priestess-NPC again. If you win PvP-battles with that title on you earn achievments unlocking three mounts aswell. However the priestess will not be around forever, so better make sure to get a title now!
If you can find a partner and are willing to pay some real money for it, you can always get married aswell and get a two-seater-wedding-chocobo (have to do the Gold or Platinum-plan for that). -

Mogstation mounts.
-
11-24-2017, 02:26 AMAvatreI believe it's up to 4 mounts now. Archon Throne, flying-spinning turtle, Fenrir, and the new "sprout" thingy. Might be more...I just know I need another 400k roughly for the sprout(it's 750k)Quote:

It's also something that I found out last night you can't make reservations for the ceremony on a Wed night. =/Quote:

11-24-2017, 03:12 AMAvatreI'm wondering if those achievements will be locked down after they finally remove that priestess, or if it will stay forever as long as you have the title you're still eligible to get the mounts(even in the year 2025...if it's removed by then)Quote:

Also when you play through the Heavensward and Stormblood main story quest lines you will gain at least four new mounts by default as well (three for HW and one for SB). Additionally, the old 'Veteran reward' system had mounts as several of it's rewards for long term subscription to the game (ahriman at, 90 days I think it was, and behemoth at.... 180?). But SE changed the Veteran System with Stormblood's launch so those mounts are gained differently now (by unlocking achievements and spending the points you gain for 'achievement certificates' which are redeemed with Jonathas in Old Gridania).
Having your character marry another player's character (the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding) also gains you a mount (Ceremony Chocobo) so that is another one to get. ;)
Also sadly some mounts are now unattainable, with at least one (Legacy Chocobo) will be never be offered again sadly. But you can still get the mounts that are available (also there are quite a few found for sale on the Mogstation). :)
This site lists all the mounts currently released in the game. -

The primal ponies are easy to get (sans Leviathan - he is easy but it takes f o r e v e r).
But if you want a cool flying mount, once you hit 60 you can do Ravana Extreme real easy and quick for a cool glowing red falcon. There is another extreme primal that is pants-on-head easy but I do not know if you have seen the said primal yet so I will withhold the name for now - but you get a light blue falcon that has bubbles from it! -

I find these quite easy to get:
Wedding chocobo and other Mog Station mounts
Collector's Edition mounts
Recruit-a-friend mounts / mounts bought with Gold Chocobo Feathers
The cheapest Gold Saucer mounts
Mount bought with Centurio Seals (level 50+ hunts)
Tradeable mounts on the MB
Palace of the Dead mount
Level 50 primal mounts farmed unsynced (level 60 primals have a worse drop rate)
Level 30 conjurer quest mount -

There is a mount from commendations.

If you'll be farming extreme primals, do that on a tank so you get credit towards tank mounts too. Garuda Ex is probably less than 1 minute with lv70 dps unsynched, you need 200 runs per job. SB tank mounts are better farmed in Omega Deltascape 1 which is around 5 minutes, or Deltascape 2-4 at around 8 minutes.
-
11-24-2017, 06:13 AMAvatreOh yeah, forgot about that one. OnlyQuote:

Edit: Yup, one at 3,000 commendations. The Parade Chocobo Whistle will be yours(only 596 more until it is mine)
Woops, you are correct. My bad.Quote:

Good news! I just got my first easy mount! The Zu mount with the Zu Horn! Bought in the market place.

Also steady and easy progression: Beast tribe reputation grinds. Starts with Kobolds I think at 40 and every tribe has a mount available at Bloodsworn: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/w...t_Tribe_Quests I suggest using them as part of your daily leveling grind since they scale.
mounts: Bomb Palanquin (this is my fav), Fire Drake, Seadrake, Wolf, bug.. thing. Komangto or something, Gobbue, dandylion puff, flying snakebird, and newly: Flying manta.
that's 9 mounts ! all easily attainable and steadily progressable. You will have to craft for 2 of those though. Moogle and Ixal quests are crafting. -
11-24-2017, 10:31 AMViduThat last thing - barfy - is just to true for me :( It makes me terribly motion sick, so I try not to think to much about it (...and the 750k MGP I spend on it...)Quote:
