How to Get the Troll & Nier Pod Mount in Final Fantasy XIV?

Final Fantasy XIV has a vast array of mounts to obtain, and two of the most popular are the Troll & Nier Pod Mount. But how do you unlock them? This guide will inform you how to get the FFXIV Troll & Nier pod mount.

How to Get the Troll Mount in Final Fantasy XIV?

To get the Troll Mount in Final Fantasy XIV, Warriors of Light have three options, and you can be traded for 600 Faux leaves or one Gold Khloe Certificate. Alternatively, you can buy the Troll Mount from Market Board.

1. Traded for 600 Faux leaves

To unlock the Troll mount, you'll need 600 Faux Leaves.

1). You can earn Faux Leaves from playing Faux Hollows.
2). To participate in Faux Hollows, you'll first need to make sure you've unlocked it.
3). Faux Hollows is another minigame activity similar to FFXIV's Wondrous Tails that can be unlocked by completing the Level 80 quest, "Fantastic Mr. Faux," given by the Painfully Ishgardian Man in Idyllshire at X:7.0, Y:5.9.
4). Completing these so-called Unreal Trials allows you to play a game similar to "battleship" with the Faux Commander.
5). Successfully uncovering illustrations on the Faux Hollows board unlocks Faux Leaves.
6). Once you are played this game enough times and earned enough Faux Leaves ×600, you will be able to buy the Troll Horn to summon the Mount.

2. Traded for one Gold Khloe Certificate

Alternatively, you can trade one Khloe's Gold Certificate for the Troll Mount if you have one.

1). You can participate in Wondrous Tails, a weekly activity that allows players to complete the game's older content to earn various rewards.
2). To unlock Wondrous Tails, you must complete "Keeping Up with the Aliapohs," a side quest in Heavensward's Idyllshire at X:7.0, Y:5.9.
3). Wondrous Tails also unlocks after Keeping Up With The Aliapohs and rewards you for completing older dungeons and trials.
4). You will need to earn a Gold Certificate of Commendation, a rare reward that demands some grinding and extreme luck.

3. Buy the Troll Mount

Alternatively, it is possible to buy the Troll Mount from other FFXIV players via the in-game Market Board. Some have mentioned that purchase currently costs up to millions of Final Fantasy 14 Gil, depending on the Data Center.
