Mounts are some of the most coveted collectibles in *Final Fantasy XIV*, and while many are challenging to acquire, the Falcon mount stands out as particularly elusive.

Up to the latest *Dawntrail* expansion, *FFXIV* boasts an array of hundreds of mounts that players can unlock and ride across the vast landscapes of Eorzea and beyond. The Falcon mount, however, is renowned for its rarity—not just because few players possess it, but due to the unique way it's obtained.
Originally introduced with the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign, which celebrated the launch of the *Stormblood* expansion in Summer 2017, the Falcon mount was a reward for players who maintained a subscription for at least 90 days during the campaign. Once the campaign concluded, the mount became unobtainable, leaving many latecomers to the game disappointed in their quest to complete their mount collections.

Fortunately, a new avenue has opened up for acquiring this elusive mount. The recurring Moogle Treasure Trove event offers players a chance to earn various sought-after rewards, including exclusive earrings, mounts, minions, furnishings, and more.
During the current Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event, the **Falcon Ignition Key** is listed as one of the top-tier rewards. To participate and earn these rewards, players must complete any of the qualifying duties within the game. Even activities like GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah contribute to event progress.
Additionally, the Mogpendium offers special challenges, including weekly challenges and the one-time Ultimog challenge, which provide bonus rewards. Completing these tasks earns you Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, the event's special currency. These can be exchanged for rewards at the Initerant Moogle NPC, located in all three main cities. The Falcon mount requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria** to unlock.
The Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event will run until the release of Patch 7.2, scheduled for **March 25**. This gives you a limited window to add the Falcon mount to your collection before the next Moogle Treasure Trove event, so make sure to seize the opportunity.
