Since all of these bird mount trials are level 60, the information is currently rather dated. Since most of these trials can be completed out of sync with a small group of players, When you enter a trial without synchronization, you can equip all of your best gear at your current level and finish the battle much more quickly than if you enter at level 60 as planned. Additionally, a full party of eight is not required to enter the trial. This will make farming for the Lanner mounts much quicker.
You can also exchange 99 of the trials’ unique totems for the corresponding bird mount if you’re really lucky. For instance, you can exchange the Expanse Totems for the White Lanner mount if you collect 99 of them from the Bismarck trial without obtaining it.
- Bertana, the NPC to trade with, is located in Idyllshire (X:5). 8, Y:5. 2).
Furthermore, the Itinerant Moogle occasionally sells the Lanner bird mounts, but their inventory fluctuates with each significant update. You cannot hoard Tomestones and wait for the Moogle to offer the mount of your choice because the Tomestones they will trade for will vary every time. You can get these seasonal Tomestones from various duties.
The Itinerant Moogle is located in Uldah, New Gridania, and Limsa Lominsa. After every significant update, make sure to return to check if the Moogle has any new mounts available.
However, keep in mind that the Firebird mount itself is never accessible via the Moogles on the Go. That ones all on you.
