4. Cloud Mallow
The most Tranquil and Gentle Mount in FF14
This mount always reminds me of my daughter going after dandelions like an absolute madwoman, only to blow them all away. Don't we all want that youthful, dreamy vibe in our Eorzean lives?
Why this mount is awesome:
- It's a reminder of the playfulness of childhood.
- This mount is very soothing, blowing gently through the air.
- Fluffiness, a bunch of fluff, need I say more?

3. Rathalos
Fiercest and most detailed Dragon Mount

Why this mount is awesome:
- Rahalos is the Monster Hunter collaboration mount.
- Its dragon skin is one of the most detailed in Final Fantasy 14.
- Its blue eyes, wide wings, and sharp teeth make it look fierce and majestic.
How do I get my Rathalos mount?
It is not easy to obtain this mount. It's a rare drop in 'The Great Hunt Extreme', in which you have to defeat this massive dragon with four people. In trials, there are normally eight people, so defeating him is already challenging.
Should Rathalos not drop, and this is very likely, you can farm 50 Rathalos Scales+ by repeating The Great Hunt Extreme. One scale will drop per run.
Once you have all the scales, visit Smithy (9.7; 8.9) in Kugane to exchange them for your coveted dragon.
2. Astrope
Feel like royalty on top of this horse mount
Are you a real compiler and do you enjoy helping other players become just as good as you? If so, this awesome Mentor Roulette mount is for you.
Why this mount is awesome:
Astrope is the hardest mount to obtain in Final Fantasy 14.
This horse mount looks like a king with his red-silver shield, white feathers, and golden armor.
How do I get my Astrope mount?
We'll be riding for quite a while, so please sit down. Ensure you have level 80 classes for all roles (DPS, Tank, Healer). Additionally, you must have received 1500 commendations from at least 1000 raids, trials, and dungeons.
When you have accomplished this, you will play the daily Mentor Roulette. You must first have completed a full list of raids, dungeons, and trials.
Did you play 50 roulettes? Congratulations! You are now a Battle Mentor. It's still a long way to the Astrope mount, however, since you need to run 2000 Mentor Roulette runs. This is likely to take years.
1. Alkonost
The newest mount in Endwalker
Is it a deer? Or is it a bird? This Thavnairian mount was added to the 6.1 patches for Final Fantasy 14, also known from the Bozjan Front.
Why this mount is awesome:
- It has beautiful peacock-like feathers.
- Its horns have tribal patterns with green shiny parts, which are stunning.
How do I get my Alkonost mount?
You need 3 Resplendent Feathers to get the whistle to summon this beautiful creature. You can exchange these at Nesvaaz (10.6; 10) in Radz-at-Han.
Feathers drop from the Excitatron 6000 (Endwalker maps instance) or can be purchased on the Market Board for a great deal of Gil.
If you want to do a map run, ensure that you decipher Timeworn Kumbhiraskin Maps and dig them up where they belong. Feathers are typically found in the treasure map dungeon's lower levels.
