Mounts for noobs?

[Avatre]

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!

I 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)

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!

Need to be level 60 to equip said Garo gears, but it does give you a reason to PVP if you want them all with the option to dye them(don't think the GS versions can be dyed...)

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).

This one is a fairly easy way of getting a two-seater...only if you and your friend/partner are both willing to pay some extra money(or if one of you pays for both, that's an option). It's also something that I found out last night you can't make reservations for the ceremony on a Wed night. =/

Oh right, I forgot about that hideous sprout thing...

Indeed, the Gold Saucer version of the gear cant be dyed and cant be used to get the titles either!
Reaching level 60 doesnt take toooo long and since the option to get the title will most likely go away eventually, its worth looking into that in time, I reckon Main reason I mentioned it - if they wanna collect mounts, those are some they can miss out on if they dont get a title in time.

I'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)

My guess would be that you can still earn the achievments/mounts if you have a title - but thats really my guess, nothing official.

Actually, it was mentioned that as long as you have a title, you can earn the mounts.

Hey, you watch what you say about Doingy-doingy-gallop-then-barfy.

.. seriously I find that mount hilarious and ride it every chance I get.


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.

That 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...)
