*Final Fantasy XIV* boasts a vast array of mounts, from common to extremely rare, that players can unlock and enjoy across Eorzea and beyond, up to the latest *Dawntrail* expansion. The Falcon mount, in particular, is distinguished not just by its scarcity but by the unique method required to acquire it.
Introduced during the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign to celebrate the *Stormblood* expansion's launch in Summer 2017, the Falcon mount was a special 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 newer players disappointed and eager to find another way to claim it.

Fortunately, a new opportunity has arisen to obtain this elusive mount through the Moogle Treasure Trove event, a recurring event that offers players the chance to earn a variety of coveted rewards, including exclusive earrings, mounts, minions, and furnishings.
Currently, the Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event includes the **Falcon Ignition Key** as one of its prized rewards. To participate and earn rewards, players need to complete qualifying in-game duties, which can include everything from GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah to various other challenges.
The event also features special challenges listed in the Mogpendium, such as weekly challenges and the Ultimog challenge, which can be completed once per event for additional bonuses. Completing these tasks will earn you Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, the event's special currency, which you can then exchange for rewards at the Initerant Moogle NPC located in each of the three main cities. The Falcon mount specifically requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria**.
The Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event runs until the release of Patch 7.2, scheduled for **March 25**. With this limited window to collect the Falcon mount, you'll want to act quickly before the next iteration of the event begins.
