Final Fantasy XIV: How to unlock the Barreltender mount
Gathering fans in Final Fantasy XIV rejoice, you now have the Barreltender mount to seek out! Sure, it’ll likely take a really long time but it will be worthwile because this is easily one of the coolest mounts in the entire game. The Barreltender mount is a Sabotender/Cactuar mount, only it’s gone to the gym a lot. If this mount flexed, it could probably hit everyone around it with 100,000 Needles.
The Barreltender mount is one of the new mounts unlocked in the latest update, the Crossroads update (7.1) in Final Fantasy XIV. If you’re a fan of Fishing, Mining, and Botany and want to show off your dedication, here’s how to get this mount.
How to unlock the Barreltender mount in Final Fantasy XIV
The Barreltender mount is found in Solution Nine in Final Fantasy XIV, by trading in 100 Mount Tokens to the Scrip Exchange Vendor in the Nexus Arcade. To gain access to this NPC, unlock purchasing items with Scrips in the Dawntrail expansion. Just head to Rhodina in Nexus Arcade (11.9, 10.7) and accept the quest they give as any of the three gathering classes.
Doing this will allow you to speak to the Scrip Exchange vendor to purchase the Mount Tokens. Each mount token takes 1,000 Orange Scrips, so you need 100,000 Orange Gatherers’ Scrips to unlock the Barreltender mount in Final Fantasy XIV.
Each of the three gathering classes has one item type you can turn in for Orange Scrips at the Collectable Appraiser, found near Rhodina and the Scrip Exchange vendor. The higher the rarity of the item you get appraised, the more Orange Scrips you get in return. It will take some time, but at least there isn’t much in the way of RNG involved.
All you need to do is pick the gathering class you prefer — Fishing, Botany, or Mining — and get to work! Once you hit Level 100, visit the Collectable Appraiser, find out what item you need to farm, and get to work farming the best versions of them you can in the wild.
It’ll take time, but eventually, you’ll have a Barreltender mount in FFXIV. You’ll also want to regularly return to Solution Nine, and buy the mount tokens since you have a max of 4,000 Orange Gatherers’ Scrips at a time. Like the Punutiy mount, it’s only a matter of time before you get it.
