One of the major steps in any MMORPG is getting that first mount that you can hop on to travel around the world more quickly and in style. This is a big part of just about any of these games and Final Fantasy XIV is no different. While parts of the game can be traveled quickly by teleport, you will need a mount to unlock these areas and to get around while you are moving on land. If you are wondering when you can get your first mount, we’ll show you how in this guide.
Final Fantasy 14 Mount Guide
To get your first mount in Final Fantasy 14, you will need to reach level 20 and complete the quest A Hero in the Making. This will lead you to the follow up quest, known as The Company You Keep. Choose one of the three Grand Companies, and then complete quests to upgrade your rank in the company. You will eventually become part of the group and get the quest, My Little Chocobo. Complete this quest and you will earn yourself a Chocobo!
You will need to choose one of the three Grand Companies, which are The Immortal Flames from Ul’dah, The Maelstrom from Limsa Lominsa, or The Order of the Twin Adder in Gridiania. The choice is strictly up to you, but you can click on each of the links for an official description of each of them.
Once your Grand Company is selected, and you completed the initial quests. You will then get the My Little Chocobo quest, which requires that you purchase the Chocobo Issuance. This costs 200 Grand Company Seals, and can be bought at the Quartermaster next to your Grand Company Commander.
To get Grand Company Seals, you can complete the following tasks or quests:
- Complete FATEs in the open world
- Complete the For Coin and Country Story Quest to earn 300 Seals
- Complete Supply or Provisioning missions from your Personnel Officer
Once you have your 200 Grand Company Seals, head back to the Quartermaster and purchase the Chocobo Issuance. From there, you will then need to head to the stables and to the Chocobokeep NPC and you will receive your Chocobo. You can then give your Chocobo a custom name, talk to the Chocobokeep NPC, and you will then get your Chocobo Whistle that summons your mount!
