Jurrasic joyrides

Mounts are always a worthwhile investment in Final Fantasy XIV, whether you 🅺need to grind for an achievement or hoard up some currency to purchase them. One of the new mounts added in p༒atch 7.1 is perfectly prehistoric and weirdly adoraඣble.

The Brachiosaurus is a dinosaur that roamed the Earth during the late Jurassic period, roughly 150 million years ago. I’m not entirely sure what that means for the time-setting of FFXIV, and I don’t really want to think about it too much, but either way, it’s not every da𓆉y that you get🐎 to have your very own dinosaur to mount up on while you go exploring.

The Brachiosaur mount can be obtained through taking part 𝔍in The Hunt and earning Sacks of Nuts. You’ll need to do a lot of hunting if you want to get this dinosaur friend because you’ll need 3,200 Sacks of Nuts to purchase it. Once you’ve saved up this hefty s⛄um, head to Tuliyollal and talk to Ryubool Ja (X:13.9, Y:13.4).

Thankfully, Sacks of Nuts can be obtained when felling hunts in any zone from Shadowbringers, Endwalker, and now Dawntrail. This means that you’re not limited to the highest level hunts, and can actually make this fairly easy on yourself by targeting level 80 or 90 Hunt Marks🧜 with a level 100 Job. 

To make things even easier, it’s a good idea to join a Hunt Train. Although most Hunt Trains these days will be focused on Dawntrail Marks, there are still some that take place in loܫwer-level areas, and they’re an excellent way to stock up on a huge supply of Sacks of Nuts very quickly thanks to the large number of players who take part. 

The best way to find a Hunt Train is by checking out or joining their to be kept informed about Hunt Trains on your server. Don’t forget you can also visit other Data Centers or Worlds to partake in The🍰 Hunt there, so don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to your own Dat𓆏a Center or World.
