FF14 Shadowbringers Mounts: Complete Acquisition Guide (Patches 5.0–5.55)

Every Shadowbringers mount, how to get it, and honest grind warnings — from easy Skybuilders’ Scrips to the brutal Gwiber RNG.

I’ve spent more hours than I care to admit chasing mounts across Shadowbringers content — from grinding Bozjan clusters to staring down brutal Gwiber RNG. Here’s everything I’ve learned about every mount added across patches 5.0–5.55, paired with honest grind warnings so you know what you’re getting into before you commit.

Key Takeaways

• Shadowbringers added dozens of new mounts across patches 5.0–5.55 — no single verified total, so don’t chase a specific number.
• Easiest entry point: Firmament mounts via Skybuilders’ Scrips (Pegasus costs just 4,200 scrips).
• Biggest grind: Pteranodon requires 500,000 Skybuilders’ points on every Disciple of the Hand and Land — plan accordingly.
• Gwiber RNG is brutal — save your totems to trade in for a mount after enough clears rather than praying for a drop.
• Landerwaffe is the expansion’s collector capstone: you must collect all 7 Gwibers first, then complete the quest “The Dragon Made.”
• Suggested order: scrip mounts → tribal quests → Bozja storyline → Extreme Trial Gwibers → Landerwaffe → gil sinks.

If the Gwiber grind or the Bozja cluster farm sounds like more than you want to tackle solo, Skycoach — an MMO boosting and coaching service running since 2020 with 1.2M+ completed orders — has you covered; have a pro run it with real players, no bots or third-party software.

Bozja / “Save the Queen” Mounts — How Do You Get Them?

The Bozja storyline spans two zones — the Bozjan Southern Front and Zadnor — and yields six mounts in total.

• Mount — Acquisition — Grind Note
• Construct 14 — Buy the Construct 14 Identification Key for 180 Bozjan Clusters from the Resistance Quartermaster in the Bozjan Southern Front. Also tradable on the Market Board. — Skip the cluster farm — just buy it off the Market Board if the price is reasonable.
• Gabriel α (Alpha) — RNG drop from a Southern Front lockbox (Castrum Lacus Litore critical engagement). — Pure RNG; keep running the engagement.
• Gabriel Mark III — Low-chance drop from the final personal/spoils chest of Delubrum Reginae (normal). Tradable on the Market Board. — Check the Market Board before farming.
• Cerberus — Reward for clearing Delubrum Reginae (Savage) — achievement “Savage Queen of Swords I”. — DR Savage is notoriously difficult — do not underestimate it.
• Deinonychus — Final coffers of The Dalriada (Zadnor’s 48-player large-scale finale). — Requires progressing through the full Zadnor storyline.
• Al-iklil — Achievement “A Complete History” — collect all 50 sets of Field Notes across the Bozja storyline. — Long completionist grind; track progress carefully.

Honest warning: Delubrum Reginae (Savage) is a large-scale raid that is significantly harder than standard 8-player savage content. Community groups exist, but expect a real challenge.

Crafting & Gathering — The Firmament Mounts

The Ishgardian Restoration (Lodestone) added a dedicated mount track through Skybuilders’ Scrips and the Kupo of Fortune mini-game. There are multiple mounts here, ranging from very accessible to one of the biggest grinds in the entire expansion.

• Mount — Acquisition — Cost / Notes
• Pegasus — Enie, the Firmament (Skybuilders’ Scrips) — 4,200 scrips — cheapest Firmament mount; great starting goal.
• Ufiti — Enie, the Firmament — 8,400 Skybuilders’ Scrips
• Albino Karakul — Enie, the Firmament — 8,400 Skybuilders’ Scrips
• Megalotragus — Enie, the Firmament — 8,400 Skybuilders’ Scrips
• Big Shell — Enie, the Firmament — 8,400 Skybuilders’ Scrips
• Antelope Doe — Enie, the Firmament — 8,400 Skybuilders’ Scrips
• Antelope Stag — Firmament Fête token exchange (Fête Present drops) — Requires participating in Fête events.
• Dhalmel — First-prize reward in the Kupo of Fortune mini-game — RNG-based; keep playing Kupo of Fortune.
• Magicked Bed — Crafted — Lv 80 Carpenter recipe (Master Carpenter VII); materials include Enchanted Elm Lumber from Lyhe Ghiah treasure-map dungeons. — Requires high-level crafting or buying materials.
• Pteranodon — Achievement “Castle in the Sky” — amass 500,000 Skybuilders’ points on every Disciple of the Hand & Land class. — ⚠️ One of the single largest grinds in the guide. Budget serious time across all crafter/gatherer jobs.

In my experience, Pegasus is the first mount I’d recommend targeting here — 4,200 scrips is achievable in a few focused sessions, and it’s a satisfying early win before you commit to the longer hauls.

Extreme Trial Gwibers — What Are They and How Do You Get Them?

Shadowbringers added 7 Gwiber mounts (dragon-type) from Extreme Trials, plus the Landerwaffe as a capstone reward. The doc’s original claim of “three” was wrong — there are seven Gwibers.

Drop rates from Extreme Trials are very low. The key mechanic: each trial awards totems on clear. Accumulate enough totems and you can trade them in for the mount — don’t skip saving them.

• Mount — Drops From (Extreme Trial) — Boss
• Fae Gwiber — The Dancing Plague (Extreme) — Titania
• Innocent Gwiber — The Crown of the Immaculate (Extreme) — Innocence
• Shadow Gwiber — The Minstrel’s Ballad: Hades’s Elegy (Extreme) — Hades
• Ruby Gwiber — Cinder Drift (Extreme) — Ruby Weapon
• Gwiber of Light — The Seat of Sacrifice (Extreme) — Elidibus
• Emerald Gwiber — Castrum Marinum (Extreme) — Emerald Weapon
• Diamond Gwiber — The Cloud Deck (Extreme) — Diamond Weapon
• Landerwaffe — Quest “The Dragon Made” — after obtaining all 7 Gwibers — Capstone collector’s flex

Landerwaffe is the Shadowbringers collector’s flex. You cannot obtain it until you have all seven Gwibers. Frame your Extreme Trial progression around completing the full set.

Tribal Quest Mounts — Which Tribes Give Mounts in Shadowbringers?

Three tribes added mounts, each requiring Rank 7 (Sworn) reputation.

• Mount — Tribe — Location — Currency
• Portly Porxie — Pixie tribe — Il Mheg — 18 Fae Fancy (buy the Portly Porxie Horn)
• Great Vessel of Ronka — Qitari tribe — The Rak’tika Greatwood — 18 Qitari Compliments (buy the Ronkan Flute)
• Rolling Tankard — Dwarf tribe — Kholusia — 18 Hammered Frogments (buy the Rolling Tankard Ignition Key)

Tribal quests are some of the most relaxed content in the expansion — daily quests, steady reputation gain, no RNG on the mount itself once you hit Sworn.

Mog Station Mounts — What’s Available from the Shop?

These are optional mounts purchasable via the Mog Station (Square Enix’s real-money store), available during the Shadowbringers era. Note that most are not exclusive to Shadowbringers content — they’re optional additions to your collection.

• Grani — Shadowbringers Collector’s Edition bonus mount (the Warrior of Darkness’s steed; flies, rides, and swims at enhanced speed).
• Circus Ahriman — Ahriman recolor; debuted at All Saints’ Wake 2019, later available on Mog Station.
• Sunspun Cumulus — Mog Station.
• Spriggan Stonecarrier — Mog Station.
• Kingly Peacock — Mog Station.
• Chocobo Carriage — Mog Station, account-wide.
• Lunar Whale — The only 8-passenger mount in the game; Mog Station (Fan Festival 2021 commemorative).
• Cruise Chaser — Mog Station (Alexander-themed mecha).
• Polar Bear — Mog Station.
• Snowman — Mog Station / Starlight Celebration seasonal event.

Blue Mage Mount — How Do You Get the Morbol?

The Morbol mount comes from the achievement “True Blue”: clear specified A Realm Reborn (Binding Coil of Bahamut) turns and Heavensward (Alexander Savage) fights with a full party of Blue Mages (undersized party off, Echo on). It’s a niche but memorable achievement for Blue Mage enthusiasts.

Event Mount — The Ironfrog Mover

The Ironfrog Mover is earned through a Moogle Treasure Trove event by spending Irregular Tomestones (Mogtomes) at the event vendor. These limited-time events rotate; watch the Lodestone for announcements when Mogtome campaigns return.

Faux Hollows & Wondrous Tails — What Mounts Can You Get?

• Construct VI-S — obtained via the Faux Hollows mini-game using a Faux Leaf or Khloe’s Silver Certificate (Wondrous Tails).

One additional mount was listed in the original source under this category but could not be verified by name. Rather than publish an incorrect name, I’ve omitted it — check FFXIV Collect for the current confirmed list.

Gil Mounts — How Much Do They Cost?

Two mounts are pure gil sinks — luxury items for dedicated collectors:

• Mount — Cost — Vendor
• Gilded Mikoshi — 50,000,000 gil — Gil-sink luxury vendor
• Resplendent Vessel of Ronka — 25,000,000 gil — Tabeth in Eulmore

The Resplendent Vessel of Ronka is the gold version of the Great Vessel of Ronka from the Qitari tribal quests — a nice visual upgrade if you already have the original.

Suggested Collection Order

If you’re starting fresh on Shadowbringers mounts, here’s the path I’d recommend:

1. Pegasus (4,200 Skybuilders’ Scrips) — quick win, gets you into the Firmament loop.
2. Tribal mounts (Portly Porxie, Great Vessel of Ronka, Rolling Tankard) — relaxed daily quest progression, no RNG once you reach Sworn.
3. Bozja storyline mounts — Construct 14 (buy off Market Board), Al-iklil (Field Notes), Deinonychus (The Dalriada).
4. Remaining Firmament scrip mounts — grind scrips between other content.
5. Gwiber Extreme Trial loop — start with the earliest trials, save every totem.
6. Landerwaffe — once all 7 Gwibers are in hand, complete “The Dragon Made.”
7. Gil sinks (Gilded Mikoshi, Resplendent Vessel of Ronka) — long-term goals while accumulating wealth.
8. Pteranodon — treat as a long-term completionist project across all crafters and gatherers.
