Final Fantasy XIV 6.3 has introduced the free Anden III mount for players to unlock. Free mounts are always well-met by the MMORPG’s community, as they are also seen as cosmetics in the game. Having mounts that go beyond the franchise’s staple Chocobo is common among the many fashionable players. While some of these mounts are gifted as rewards for event-exclusive currency, like the recurrent Kamuy wolves, others can be obtained by raising the player’s reputation with a specific beast tribe, such as the superb Miw Miisv.

While new players will likely take a while before getting a chance at unlocking the free Anden III mount in FFXIV, there are still alternatives to the early-leveled Chocobo. In fact, there are a few easy mounts to get in Final Fantasy XIV right at the beginning of a Warrior of Light’s adventure. Nevertheless, players who have progressed sufficiently through the game’s campaign will be able to grab the new mount, provided they have patience.

How To Get The Anden III Mount For Free In FFXIV

The main pre-requisite for unlocking the free Anden III mount in FFXIV is having the “Endwalker” Main Scenarios Quest (MSQ) completed. This means wrapping up the homonymous DLC’s campaign. Besides that, players will also have to have completed the “Go West, Craftsman” side quest from Lydirlona, which can be obtained in Mor Dhona (X: 22.3, Y: 6.8), according to FFXIV’s Lodestone. With those done, players will be able to unlock Anden’s Custom Deliveries, much like Ameliance’s Custom Deliveries in Final Fantasy XIV.

Players looking to unlock the Anden III free mount in FFXIV need to proceed to Shadowbringer’s The Crystarium map and find the Supplicant Sheep NPC (X: 9.3, Y:11.3), according to the Lodestone. Because this is a Custom Deliveries questline, players should have at least one class in the Disciple of the Hand or Land leveled at 80. This is either a Crafting or Gathering class, either will serve. Talking to the NPC will result in the quest “That’s So Anden”, which unlocks Anden’s Custom Deliveries.

With that unlocked, players will then need to reach level 5 in Anden’s Customer Satisfaction by making Custom Deliveries in Final Fantasy XIV. There is a cap of six weekly deliverable quests, which means that leveling the players’ reputation to the desired level will actually take a few weeks of grinding. Because this also depends on the quality of the delivered items, obtaining level 5 and subsequently unlocking the Anden III free mount in FFXIV may take something between three and four weeks.

Reaching level 5 in Customer Satisfaction with Anden will also grant players the Leafman Head Hat, beyond the free Anden III mount in FFXIV. This is but one of the many new additions that came forth with patch 6.3. The update also introduced the Lapis Manalis Dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV, which introduced players to an enticing new chapter in the search for Azdaja story.

    Summary:
    Final Fantasy 14 (Final Fantasy XIV) is the fourteenth entry in the Final Fantasy franchise. It is an MMORPG that initially launched in 2010 before it was completely rebuilt from the ground up for a 2013 release as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. After the events of the 2010 iteration's conclusion, where the primal dragon Bahamut brings calamity to the land of Eorza, the player survives and is sent into the future by five years in a world that has begun to rebuild, but now thrust into the middle of a war from the Garlean Empire. As a consistently expanding world with an ever-scaling storyline, Final Fantasy XIV's narrative grows with each expansion, with the core experience still surrounding working with other players and NPCs as they level and customize their characters, engage in real-time events, and coordinate teams to enter massive dungeons to face raid bosses. The game is available to play with people of several nations and has a massive translatable vocabulary for players to be able to work with one another despite language barriers. The most recent expansion pack, Endwalker, was released in December of 2021 and follows the trend of each title releasing roughly every two years. Final Fantasy XIV is available as a free-to-play title up to level 60, where the game then transitions to a subscription model. The game is playable on Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, as the PlayStation 3 version was shuttered in 2017.
