Mog Station

[BerserkBak]

So i am thinking on buying a mount and maybe minion from mog station, just wondering after buying them would i have to do some quests before using or i can use them right of way?
Thanks a lot.

If you already have your chocobo, you can use your mount. If you don't, you'll have to get it once you're in a Grand Company but that's all; minions can be used right away

Ok thank you for helping, got to work on getting my chocobo then.

Keep in mind that most mog station mounts are not account bound as you would see in other games. Be careful which character you're choosing or you end up having to purchase it multiple times at the end lol

The mount feature is unlocked in game via one of the main storyline quests around level 20. Once that has been done, any mogstation mounts can be used as can any veteran reward mounts. Flying/swimming is unlocked later in the storyline, but you still get faster ground travel until then.

Incidently, many of the games features and most of its instanced content(dungeons, trials, etc) is unlocked via the main storyline quests. So its a good idea to keep up with them.

It's a side quest, so missable if one is only doing main story quests.

Sidequest is Lv20 "My Little Chocobo", available after MSQ "The Company You Keep"

Thanks a lot everyone, I got to point we're I need to get seals to get chocobo stamp or something lol, I hope I am on the right track lol.

[Frizze]

Yup, turn in those seals and your mounts are unlocked.

Also be aware that once you reach expansion areas, some older mounts aren't able to be used to the full potential of the area. Some can't fly, for instance. Something to keep in mind, I guess, since it won't really be apparent until later in story progression.

That being said, sleipnir is still one of my faves, I just haven't been able to use him as much in HW zones. So it really depends on how badly you want the mount and how much enjoyment you feel like you'll get out of it.
