FFXIV: How to Get the Automaton Mount – Quick Guide
The Automatoise is a large, turtle-like creature that you’ll encounter while exploring one of Dawntrail’s many dungeons. While it may seem like an enemy, the mount you unlock will be a welcome friend, happy to guide you on your next adventure. However, finding its exact location can be tricky. Here’s what you need to know about how to unlock the Automatoise mount in FFXIV.
The way you can unlock the Automatoise mount is in the Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail expansion, and it will cost you 3,200 Sacks of Nuts. Sacks of Nuts are a specific currency that you can unlock for completing Hunts in each Dawntrail region.
You unlock these Hunts by working your way through the Main Scenario Quests in Dawntrail. From here, the Hunt quests become available by talking to the Wing of Protection Scout NPC and getting the side guest called A New Dawn, a New Hunt. After completing this, the Hunt Board will become available to you and you can earn Sacks of Nuts for the Dawntrail region.
