For #11 -Field Notes on Dabog and #43 – Field Notes on Dabog, Part II, I chose the most braindead option possible.

However, the other four took much, much longer. As the specific skirmishes that drop these field notes do not spawn naturally (you have to defeat around 50 of a specific enemy to spawn them with an hour cooldown between each possible spawn), the drop rate is much higher than on the skirmishes that spawn naturally on a set timer. The other three of these (#38 – Field Notes on Fabineau, #12 – Field Notes on Dynbu, and #14 – Field Notes on Sartauvoir) took only one or two eight-hour-days of camping to get each. One of these (#35 – Field notes on Meryall) dropped on a random run through The Dalriada-the special 48 person raid at the end of Zadnor (which we’ll get back to later). Now, before we get into the hell I experienced, I should note that I got four of the eight field notes rather quickly. It took me a month and a half to get the mount-which might not seem so bad until you realize just how much FFXIV I played during this time. And with a mount as cool as the Al-iklil, it would be stupid to not try for it when I was so close, right? This left me with four left in Zadnor and four in Bozjan. Hell, I didn’t even need to do Delubrum Reginae at all after having run it so many times for the “Resistance Weapons” quests. Now, just by completing the story in these two special zones and the accompanying raids, I had all but eight of the field notes already in hand. To get it, all you need to do is collect all 50 “field notes” spread across Bozjan, Delubrum Reginae, and Zadnor. It also has its own special music track when riding it. Based on Fran and Baltheir’s hoverbike from Final Fantasy XII, the Al-iklil is one of the 12 mounts in the game that can seat more than one player (two people in its case).

Now, let’s be clear, the Al-iklil is a super cool mount. However, there is one mount I regret getting-one mount that, if I had known the time sink going in, I would have never even tried for: the Al-iklil. So needless to say, at this point, I’m running out of mounts that can be obtained without significant time and work. I even spent nearly a year doing Blue Mage raids three times a week to get a single mount. To get these mounts I’ve killed bosses again and again, run the same dungeons countless times, rebuilt cities, spent weeks in the Gold Saucer gambling. (The vast majority of the ones I don’t have are either from PVP, promo giveaways that happened before I started the game, or are only purchasable with real-world money). And let’s be frank here, not only do you feel like a badass riding a T-Rex or a transforming raid boss, having the rarest of rare mounts makes you the envy of all the would-be mount collectors out there.Īt this point, I have a respectable 97 of the total 220. Many even change the music you’re listening to as you travel the vast in-game world. The reason I love mounts so much is because they are something you see constantly as you play the game. But my poison of choice? Mount collecting. From minions and Triple Triad cards to glamours and housing items, there are tons of things to collect in Final Fantasy XIV.
