Final Fantasy 14 mounts are considered by many as status symbols in the game. Mounts are one of the best ways to show off your character to other players. As is usually the case with MMOs, there are different types of mounts to collect in Eorzea. The easiest mounts to stock up on should be on everyone's list, so knabbing them as soon as you can is a must for any Warrior of Light.

Accessorizing is strategizing. So making sure your glamorous are being complimented by your mount is also a must for any head-turning Warrior of Light. Variety is key, so settling for just your standard Chocobo may not always work. This is especially true for those who don't have time to grind Extreme-level difficulty trials. These are some of the best and easiest mounts to collect.
