Up to the latest *Dawntrail* expansion, *FFXIV* boasts an array of hundreds of different mounts that players can unlock and utilize during their adventures across Eorzea and beyond. Among these, the Falcon mount stands out as one of the rarest, not due to its scarcity among players but because of the unique method required to obtain it.
The Falcon mount was initially introduced through the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign, celebrating the launch of the *Stormblood* expansion in the summer of 2017. Players who maintained a subscription for at least 90 days during the campaign period were rewarded with this exclusive mount. However, once the campaign concluded, the mount became unobtainable, leaving later players disappointed as they missed out on this collector's item.

Fortunately, a new avenue has opened up for acquiring this elusive mount. The recurring Moogle Treasure Trove event now offers players a chance to obtain various sought-after rewards, including the Falcon mount. The current Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event includes the **Falcon Ignition Key** among its prized rewards.
To participate in the event and earn rewards, players must complete qualifying duties within the game. Even activities like GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah contribute to event progress. Additionally, the Mogpendium features special challenges, such as weekly challenges and the Ultimog challenge, which can be completed once per event for extra bonuses.
Upon completing these tasks, players will receive Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, which are exclusive tokens for this event. These can be exchanged for various rewards at the Initerant Moogle NPC, located in all three major cities. The Falcon mount requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria** to acquire.
The Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event is available in-game until the release of Patch 7.2, scheduled for **March 25**. This limited timeframe means you have a narrow window to secure the Falcon mount before the next Moogle Treasure Trove event, so act quickly to seize this opportunity.
