The summary of ‘Only The Most Dedicated FFXIV Players Have These Mounts’

In the video, Bubbins explores the rarest mounts available in Final Fantasy 14 as of May 2023, focusing on those still obtainable and providing detailed guidance on how to earn them. Key mounts discussed include Victor, which requires defeating numerous elite marks in Endwalker regions, and the Triceratops, demanding similar achievements in Shadowbringers regions. Acquiring these mounts involves considerable time and effort, exemplified by the Skyward score-needed mounts in Ishgardian restoration, such as Paterandon.

Pinky can be purchased for 22 million gil or obtained through the RNG-dependent Excitatron 6000. Additionally, recent mounts from patch 6.3, Gilded Mikoshi, and Wyvern, can be bought for 50 million and 42 million gil, respectively.

Further, Bubbins explains alternative methods like the shared fate and bi-color gemstone features, which involve completing numerous Fates to accumulate the required gemstones for mounts. Overall, the video provides comprehensive insights into the effort and dedication necessary to obtain these prestigious and rare mounts in Final Fantasy 14.

In this part of the video, Bubbins addresses collectors of mounts in Final Fantasy 14, highlighting that the game offers many prestigious and rare mounts. However, some of the rarest mounts are no longer obtainable due to being time-limited. Instead of focusing on unobtainable mounts, Bubbins presents a list of the ten rarest mounts as of May 2023 that players can still earn, along with instructions on how to get them.

The first mount discussed is Victor, which requires completing two separate achievements involving slaying a large number of elite marks in Endwalker regions, including 2,000 A-rank and 1,000 S-rank marks. Due to the long respawn times for S-rank enemies, Bubbins suggests server hopping and joining Discord servers to coordinate hunts.

Next, the Triceratops mount requires similar achievements in Shadowbringers regions, making the process equally time-consuming. Lastly, the Paterandon mount is mentioned, requiring players to achieve a high Skyward score in Ishgardian restoration activities.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the extensive time commitment and activities required to earn certain mounts in a game. For botany and mining, you’ll earn around 5000 Skyward score per hour, which translates to roughly 100 hours each, whereas fishing can yield up to 14,000 Skyward score per hour, totaling about 35 hours. Additionally, all crafting classes need to be completed, leading to an overall estimate of 500 hours of grinding for one mount.

A specific mount mentioned is the Astrope which necessitates becoming a mentor, entailing 1500 combinations, 1000 duty completions, and clearing all game duties including extreme trials, barring ultimate savage and current expansion extremes. Furthermore, 2000 Mentor Duty roulettes are required.

Another mount, Eterna, is new and may become less rare over time. Acquiring it involves four completions of all 100 floors of Eureka Orthos without a party wipe. The Pinky mount can either be bought for 22 million gil or obtained by gathering three bottles of exciting tonic from Gold Chests in the Excitatron 6000, accessed via treasure maps with considerable RNG involved.

For certain hunts, the “Bring Your S Game 5” and “Bring Your A Game 5” achievements require killing 2000 S-ranked marks and 3000 A-ranked marks respectively. Lastly, two mounts added in patch 6.3 are mentioned, which can be bought for 50 million gil each from a vendor named Edelina in Wardona.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the rarity and methods of acquiring several mounts in the game. The Gilded Mikoshi Mount, sold by Adelina for 50 million Gil, is noted to have double the popularity. The Wyvern Mount, available for 42 million Gil, is also mentioned. Alternatively, players can grind for mounts through the shared fate and bi-color gemstone features by completing 360 Fates to unlock a vendor who sells bi-color gemstone vouchers. Mounts cost 500 vouchers, equating to 50,000 bi-color gemstones, requiring around 3,500 Fates.
