Wake up, mount collectors, there's a new mount for you to show off: for an exorbitant amount of Bicolor Gemstones, you can get your hands on the Ty'aitya mount in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail.
How to get the NEW mounts in FFXIV Dawntrail
This cute little flying squirrel—found as a hostile mob in the Yak T'el wilderness—is FFXIV: Dawntrail's first Bicolor Gemstone Voucher mount that requires a truly insane amount of FATE grinding to earn. It costs 500 Turali Gemstone Vouchers, which can only be purchased from the Gemstone vendors in Tuliyollal and Solution Nine (Kajeel Ja from the Bayside Bevy and Beryl from the Nexus Arcade respectively) after you've maxed out the Shared FATE ranks in all Dawntrail areas.
The good and bad news is that maxing out each region will be the least of your worries. For starters, each Turali Bicolor Gemstone Voucher costs 100 Bicolor Gemstones, for a whopping total of 50,000 Gemstones for the Ty'aitya Whistle. You'll have Tural and Alexandria maxed out long before you can grind out the Gemstones needed to purchase this expensive little guy.
Thankfully, Dawntrail has also added a special buff mechanic to certain FATEs, where you can earn bonus rewards for completing them. Look for FATEs on the map that have a small arrow in the corner of the marker icon. The best part about this bonus is that it stacks with the existing Twist of FATE buff you can get from defeating Forlorn Maidens, for up to 40 Bicolor Gemstones awarded in a single FATE instead of the usual 16. You can also go after Large-Scale FATEs like Ttokrrone for a much higher Gemstone reward.
