Whether you’re just starting off or leveling an alt, knowing when and how to get a mount is crucial. Final Fantasy 14 has a flurry of mounts ranging anywhere from the series’ legendary Chocobos to a $40 whale bus from the moon that you can use to fly seven of your friends around the lands of Eorzea. Getting a mount makes travel a lot less of a pain in the butt as quests that used to take forever by foot now take just a quick hop and a skip to get where you need to go. Here’s everything we know on 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 grand companies and then trade 200 company seals for a Chocobo Issuance. There are some naunces to this process so see below for a quick step bt step on how to achieve this goal and get your mount journey started.

Steps To Get Your First Chocobo

  • Clear through the level 20 Main Story Quest “A Hero in the Making”
  • Join a grand company (pick your favorite, they all offer pretty much the same thing but tailored to their city-state)
  • Complete GC quests up till “My Little Chocobo” with your GC
  • Earn 200 company seals by participating in fates, clearing your hunt log, or our recommendation, doing a couple of Grand Company Leves.
  • Once you earn the 200 needed, speak with the Grand Company Quartermaster and trade your seals for a Chocobo Issuance. Note that the name will be XX Chocobo Issuance depending on the GC. For example, Limsa has the Storm Chocobo Issuance.
  • Return to your quest giver for My Little Chocobo and trade your issuance for your first mount whistle. Use it from your inventory and you’ll meet your first mount. Congrats!
