The 10th Anniversary Moogle Trove: Kamuy of the Nine Tails

One of the mounts not listed on the list of prizes for Final Fantasy XIV's 10th Anniversary Moogle Trove event is the Kamuy of the Nine Tails. The legendary kamuy is obtained by completing the quest A Lone Wolf No More. The prerequisite for getting the quest is to obtain seven kamuy from seven Extreme trials in Stormblood:

  1. Reveling Kamuy from The Pool of Tribute (Extreme)
  2. Blissful Kamuy from Emanation (Extreme)
  3. Legendary Kamuy from The Minstrel's Ballad: Shinryu's Domain
  4. Auspicious Kamuy from The Jade Stoa (Extreme)
  5. Lunar Kamuy from Minstrel's Ballad: Tsukuyomi's Pain
  6. Euphonious Kamuy from Hells' Kier (Extreme)
  7. Hallowed Kamuy from The Wreath of Snakes (Extreme)
All seven mounts are available for 30 event tomestones each during the event. To get 210 tomestones only required doing the end raids from Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, or Endwalker or The Praetorium dungeon from A Realm Reborn. Since I already had the Blissful Kamuy, I only needed 180 tomestones.

The seven kamuy

I'm not really sure how to feel about getting the mounts this way. Yes, Yoshi-P basically said "come and get them" by placing them on the prize list. And yes, the Extreme trials became old content with the launch of Shadowbringers in July 2019, which was right before I created my FFXIV account. But I didn't earn the mounts the way the developers originally intended.

I did earn my mount, though. Perhaps too easily, but I obtained the mounts by running the content with other people. In an MMORPG, that has to count for something, right?
