Up to the latest *Dawntrail* expansion, *FFXIV* boasts an impressive array of hundreds of mounts for players to unlock and ride through their adventures in Eorzea and beyond. The Falcon mount is particularly notable for its rarity, not just in terms of ownership, but due to the unique circumstances required to obtain it.
The Falcon mount was first introduced through the Fly the Falcon Mount campaign, celebrating the launch of the *Stormblood* expansion in the summer of 2017. Players who subscribed for a minimum of 90 days during the campaign period were rewarded with this exclusive mount. However, once the campaign concluded, the Falcon mount became unavailable, leaving latecomers and new players without a way to acquire it, much to their disappointment.

Fortunately, a new avenue has opened up for obtaining this elusive mount. The recurring Moogle Treasure Trove event offers players a chance to earn various sought-after rewards, including the **Falcon Ignition Key**. This event allows players to participate by completing a range of qualifying in-game duties, from GATEs at the Gold Saucer in Ul’dah to other specified tasks.
The current iteration of the event, known as the Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria, includes the Falcon Ignition Key among its top rewards. To secure this key, players must accumulate **Tomestones of Phantasmagoria**, which are earned by completing event-specific duties and challenges outlined in the Mogpendium. This includes weekly challenges and the unique Ultimog challenge, which can be completed only once per event.
These Tomestones can then be exchanged with the Initerant Moogle NPC, located in all three major cities, for the desired rewards. The Falcon mount requires **50 x Tomestones of Phantasmagoria** to unlock.
The Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event is scheduled to run until the release of Patch 7.2 on **March 25**. This window provides a limited opportunity to obtain the Falcon mount before the next Moogle Treasure Trove event cycle begins, so make sure not to miss out.
