Up to the latest *Dawntrail* expansion, *FFXIV* boasts an impressive array of hundreds of mounts that players can unlock and enjoy across Eorzea and beyond. The Falcon mount is particularly rare, not because of its exclusivity, but due to the specific conditions required to obtain it.
The Falcon mount was first introduced with the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign, celebrating the launch of the *Stormblood* expansion in Summer 2017. Players who maintained a subscription for at least 90 days during the campaign period were rewarded with this unique mount. Once the campaign concluded, the Falcon mount became unavailable, leaving later players disappointed in their quest to complete their mount collection.

Fortunately, a new avenue to acquire the Falcon mount has opened up through the recurring Moogle Treasure Trove event. This event offers players a chance to earn a variety of coveted rewards, including exclusive earrings, mounts, minions, furnishings, and more.
Currently, the Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event includes the **Falcon Ignition Key** as one of its prized rewards. To participate and earn these rewards, you need to complete designated duties within the game. Even activities like GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah contribute to your event progress.
Additional challenges, such as the weekly challenges and the one-time Ultimog challenge found in the Mogpendium, offer bonus rewards. By completing these tasks, you'll earn Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, the special currency for this event. These can be exchanged at the Initerant Moogle NPC, located in all three main cities, for your desired rewards. The Falcon mount specifically requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria**.
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 not to miss it.
