How to get the Punutiy mount in Final Fantasy XIV

One of the new creatures introduced to Final Fantasy XIV as part of the Dawntrail expansion was the Punutiy, which are essentially the Manatees of Etheirys. Now, as of the 7.1 patch, players can get their very ow꧑n airborne version, and it’s very cute. 

According to the limited lore that we have surrounding Punutiys, they are used to tow riverboats through Tural. However, 7.1 added a🐬nother level to the lore, and apparently, the Hanu Hanu used to imbue the Punutiy with the power of the wind, allowing them to glide gracefully through the skies to transport items and people over the waterfalls of Kozama’uka. 

As if a flying Punutiy wasn’t enough of a tempting prospect, this mount also comes with an action called Bosom Brook, which will send th𝄹e Punutiy spinning around and showing off their water-based gymnastics, regardless of how high up in the air you are. 

How to get the Punutiy mount in FFXIV

To get the Punutiy mount, you’ll first need to unlock the Pelupelu Allied Society. We have a full guide on this, but here’s the bullet point list:

• Own the Dawntrail expansion
• Have at least one Disciple of War or Magic Job at level 90 or above
• Pick up and complete the level 90 quest called “An Intrepid New Enterprise” from the Blue-garbed Pelu in Tuliyollal (X:13.6, Y:12.9)

Once you’ve completed this quest, you’ll have access to daily Pelupel💫u Allied Society quests. 

You can pick 𒅌up three ques💦ts per day unless you increase your rank with the Pelupelu, which will allow you to take on three extra quests that day for a total of six quests. Each complete daily quest will reward one Pelu Pelplume. 

The Punutiy mount will become available in exchange for Pelu Pelplumes once you’ve reached the Respected rank with the Pelupelu. That means you have to increase your ꦅrank twice and earn a total of 720 reputation. While that seems like a lot, it’s achievable within a week, so it 🀅won’t take you long to get your Punutiy. 

A word of advice: The Wind-up Pelupelu minion unlocks once you hit Trusted rank. If you want to be able to purchase the Punutiy Horn as soon as it becomes 𝔍available, I’d recommend not purchasing the Wind-up Pelupelu when it becomes available, as doi🅠ng so will leave you short by a few Pelplumes by the time you unlock the Punutiy mount.
