New Mounts!! 🦖🦈🪼

Hali has recently gotten three new mounts that are awesome! First is the Tyrannosaur that drops from Eureka lockboxes, which Hali isn’t even that far into Eureka yet, but it was a really lucky drop. Gotta love the pink and purple look of it! Next is the Hybodus, aka: the shark mount that you get from the ocean fishing achievement. I’ve been farming for this thing for months now and I finally got it! Last but not least is the Miw Miisv, aka: the space jellyfish mount from getting the Sworn rank with the Omicrons! This mount is currently my favorite in the game and I’m so excited to finally have it for Hali! It’s totally her aesthetic and I’m having so much fun flying around in this with her.

Hey Fal, I thought you were on Aloalo island... How did you get back to the mainland so fast?

Top 5 Mounts! I love seeing which mounts people are drawn too!

ohhh, that's not something I think about often, and I'm lucky enough to have acquired a hefty number of rare ones, so this is going to be fun and sentimental! and maybe a little humblebraggy im sorry im not trying to be! :D

Eden

like many players I'm sure, Shadowbringers was when the game really for good hooked me for life, and Ryne is a significant part of that. I loved her character so much that I was overjoyed when I realized the raid series was not only going to expand on her as a character, but give her a girlfriend.

But that's not the only reason; Eden's Promise is also the tier my static formed and we began to take on savage raids, and one of my greatest memories of this game is defeating the final E12S boss alongside them like 0.7 seconds before she enraged. The Oracle of Darkness is still one of my favorite fights in the whole game, and between that, the fact that the whole raid storyline is a handwrapped gift for lesbians who have Ryne as their favorite character, and a personal fondness for FF8 YEAH THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT SUCK IT GAMEFAQS BOARDS FROM 1998...well, getting to ride Actually Eden in this game kind of rules.

I do wish it played The Extreme though. :V

2. Sunforged

Meanwhile, Abyssos was extremely memorable for, unfortunately, much different reasons. A lot of our group started facing a lot of personal problems IRL, and we had to say goodbye to some very good friends we had made and then bring new ones up to speed on the tier, so it took us an immensely long time to make it all the way to P8S, prog both phases of the fight, and get eight clears for all of us; we were struggling so much that even when the tier unlocked, we weren't able to clear him more than once a week. I still think P8S is too rough around the edges and I like the fight a lot less than the other Pandaemonium finales - not necessarily poorly designed, but extremely demanding to the point it was actually taking a toll on us.

...So basically, to me the Sunforged represents us dragging our broken, battered bodies over the finish line of the raid tier, succeeding despite all the shit both it and real life threw at us. We fought really fuckin' hard for this fucker, and as difficult as it was I'm really, immensely proud of us for managing it.

Also the mount itself is just sick af. Big fire snek!

and it turns into a godsdamned phoenix for flight, come on!!

3. Garlond GL-II

i mean come on this thing was built for biker girl femroes!!

4. Megaloambystoma

I am BEYOND LIVID that the Axolotl mount is locked behind Savage. Savage is for neckbeard no-lifers who play this game 24/7. Give them a crappy Magitek mount or something but cute mounts do NOT belong to raiders!!!

okay but seriously look at this dope. what a good boy. and in addition to being cute AF he ALSO has a sentimental story about my static's experiences with the relevant raid tier: for some strange reason, for the last bits of phase 1 and all of phase 2 of P12S in particular, I was the one who ended up studying the fight, writing down explanations, walking the group through the mechanics, and making callouts. it'd be a little aggrandizing to claim that Pallas Athena is my victory because obviously it's the whole group's... but it is the fight that somehow made me the one confident enough to lead my friends through it.

So in a weird way, this little dope is like, a representation of my self-esteem. I love him.

5. Fat Cat

I'm a cat person. I was morally obligated to buy this. Pay no attention to the mount description that posits that it is either a VOIDSENT using a BLOATED CAT'S CORPSE AS ITS CORPOREAL VESSEL, or a DECEASED PET REANIMATED by one well versed in the NECROMANTIC ARTS. these are lies and slander. look at this :3 face. is this the face of someone who would hide their true insidious voidtinged nature? clearly not. stop worrying about it. you don't need to sleep with a knife under your pillow with this baby around. >:3

this was really fun to reminisce and write about, thank you @disciple-of-frost for the ask!!

BEHOLD my noble steed Sir Spins-a-lot!

Fwend 💜

My one goal for Make it Rain is now complete. Of all the mounts in the Gold Saucer, the Korpokkur is my favorite.

[peculiarmarsu]

Finally got my Fylgja <3 Quite an ordeal to achieve but at least Crystalline Conflict was fun and fast. After some class tryouts I mostly ended up running as Dragoon or Bard. Maybe for whatever comes next I’ll see how tanks and healers play in PvP...

Kinda tempted to incorporate her somehow in Rau lore heh

[battlecrazed-axe-mage]

Got a weird horse :)

Easy to get mounts in FFXIV!

Easy to get mounts in FFXIV!

There are plenty of easy to get mounts in FFXIV, and as we’re getting more and more gear, some fights that grant loot are actually becoming pretty doable as a solo or in pairs. In this guide, we’re going over some easy to get mounts that you can either get or start working towards today even if you play solo or with a friend or two. This guide does not include mounts from the MogStation, MSQ,…

[garleanfrost]

Omg how have I not shared this yet??? I spent weeks building my rep with the Qitari and I finally got my Great Serpent mount! Obviously overjoyed but I wasn't expecting the extra animation. It's incredible. Scree!

[umbralaether]

honestly the best part of the patch update was spending my 99 totems for blue cat
