*Final Fantasy XIV* boasts an impressive array of mounts that players can unlock and enjoy across Eorzea and beyond, even up to the latest *Dawntrail* expansion. Among these, the Falcon mount is considered rare, not due to the number of owners, but due to its acquisition method.
The Falcon mount was initially introduced through the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign, celebrating the launch of the *Stormblood* expansion in Summer 2017. Players who subscribed for at least 90 days during this campaign were rewarded with this unique mount. Unfortunately, once the campaign concluded, the Falcon mount was no longer obtainable, leaving many new and returning players disappointed as they missed out on this coveted item.

Fortunately, a new avenue has opened up for acquiring this elusive mount through the regular Moogle Treasure Trove event, which offers a variety of rewards including mounts, minions, and more. The ongoing Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event features the **Falcon Ignition Key** as one of its prized rewards.
To participate in this event and earn rewards, you need to complete any of the qualifying duties within the game. Even activities like GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah contribute towards event progress. Additionally, the Mogpendium offers special challenges, including weekly and the one-time Ultimog challenge, which provide bonus rewards.
By completing these tasks, you'll earn Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, the event's special currency. These can then be exchanged with the Initerant Moogle NPC, found in all three main cities, for your desired rewards. The Falcon mount requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria** to obtain.
The Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event will run until the release of Patch 7.2, scheduled for **March 25**. This limited window is your chance to secure the Falcon mount before the next Moogle Treasure Trove event, so make sure to seize the opportunity.
