FFXIV: How to Get a Mount

Whether you're just starting out or leveling up an alt, knowing when and how to get a mount is crucial. Final Fantasy 14 features a slew of mounts ranging from the legendary Chocobos from the series to a $40 whale bus from the moon that you can use to fly seven of your friends across the lands of Eorzea. Getting a mount makes traveling much less of a hassle, as quests that used to take forever on foot now only take a quick hop and a jump to get where you need to go. Here's everything we know about how to get a mount in Final Fantasy XIV.



How to get a mount in Final Fantasy XIV

To get a mount in Final Fantasy XIV, you'll need to clear main story quests until you unlock Great Enterprises, then exchange 200 Enterprise Seals for a Chocobo issue. There are a few primers to this process, so see below for a quick step on how to achieve this goal and begin your mount journey.

Steps to get your first chocobo

  • Complete the level 20 main story quest "A Hero in the Making"
  • Join a big company (pick your favorite, they all offer pretty much the same thing but tailored to their city-state)
  • Complete GC quests up to "My Little Chocobo" with your GC
  • Earn 200 Company Seals by participating in Fates, clearing your Hunting Log or our Commendation, doing a few Great Company Surveys.
  • Once you've gotten the 200 needed, talk to the Grand Company Quartermaster and exchange your seals for a Chocobo Emission. Note that the name will be XX Chocobo Issuance according to the GC. For example, Limsa has the Storm Chocobo show.
  • Return to your quest giver for My Little Chocobo and trade your broadcast for your first mount whistle. Use it from your inventory and you'll encounter your first mount. Congratulation!
