FFXIV: How Do You Get The Zu Mount?

You can obtain the Zu Mount by bartering an Iron Voyage Spoil with the Spoils Collector non-player character.

This particular Trader can now be found in the following five locations:

1. Airship Landing, Foundation – The Pillars, at X:15 and Y:11
2. The Lavender Beds, also known as Senna’s Pride, may be found at X:7. Y:3
3. X: 1 and Y:2 for The Goblet – Goblet Exchange Subdivision
4. X:1 and Y:3 The Mist, located in the Mist Beach Subdivision
5. Shirogane – Akanegumo Bridge, X:9 Y:13

Any place will function as long as you have the Token because all of the locations share their inventories.

The real process of acquiring the Iron Voyage Spoil token will be the one that requires some effort on your part.

Iron Voyage There is only one way to acquire spoils, and that is through Free Company Airship Voyages.

Expeditions to the Sea of Clouds, more specifically Sector 24.

To add insult to injury, the Iron Voyage Spoil is not a guaranteed reward for completing the Quest.

All of the following are fair game for Sector 24 to eliminate:

Item	Quantity
Cassia Log	1 – 24
Dark Chestnut Branch	20 – 27
Deep-green Cluster	1 – 20
Minium	10 – 14
Savage Aim Materia III, IV, or V	21 – 29, 6, 1
Quickarm Materia III, IV, or V	26 – 36, 13 – 26, 3
Iron Voyage Spoil	1
Cloudsbreath Seeds	1

It goes without saying that you should get ready to finish up with large quantities of minium.

Because it is one of the rarest awards, getting your hands on some Iron Voyage Spoil might be a time-consuming process.

Making Plans for a Journey to Zu

This is the beginning of your quest for the It’s a common misconception that the word “Zu” refers to avian life.

You’ll require a Private Enterprise (P.E.) that is independently owned and operates in a location with suitable housing and a fully functional factory.

From there, go to the Housing District’s Resident Caretaker to buy a Flight Credit.

They may be purchased for 10,000 FC Credits from the following establishments:

1. The Lavender Beds – Lavender Beds, X:12 Y:8
2. The Goblet – The Goblet, X:13 Y:11
3. The Mists – Mist, X:11 Y:11
4. Shirogane – Shirogane Shores, X:10 Y:14
5. Empyreum – Ingleside, X:3 Y:4

You can now officially register a ship with these Flight Credits.

First, though, you’ll need an Airship in order to sign up.

There are four main parts needed to make an airship:

Hull \sRigging \sForecastle \sAftcastle

These materials can only be obtained using the FC Workshop’s Crafting system.

Each component of your Airship is constructed in three steps.

Furthermore, the quantity of resources needed for each stage varies.

The term “Progress” can refer to a variety of various things that can be accomplished in the Workshop.

The quantity of materials needed for the next step is decreased for ratings of Good and Excellent.

However, there is nothing particularly difficult to find in this area, so relax.

After putting together your airship, the next step is to register it and start going on voyages.

Sector 24 And More In The Sea Of Clouds

When first deployed, all airships are at Rank 1.

In order to advance in the game, you will need to have them go on a number of Voyages.

A final stop on a long list of potential locations, Sector 24 is the furthest.

Also, these are all accessible after completing earlier Sectors.

Below is a handy chart detailing the various unlocks, as well as the corresponding Ranks, that are necessary to obtain them.

Sector	Rank	Unlocks
01	1	Sector 03
02	1	Sector 04, Sector 05
05	10	Sector 06, Sector 07
06	14	Sector 11
07	17	Sector 08, Sector 10
08	20	Sector 09, FC Airship #2
10	27	Sector 12
11	30	Sector 13, Sector 14
12	34	Sector 16
13	37	Sector 15
14	40	FC Airship #3
15	44	Sector 19
16	47	Sector 17
17	50	Sector 18
18	50	FC Airship #4
19	50	Sector 20, Sector 23
20	50	Sector 21, Sector 22
21	50	Sector 24

An advantage is that you can acquire new Airships as you go.

Therefore, you can send your entire Zu Mount squad to Sector 24.

They’ll all need separate components and Flight Credits though.

Also keep in mind that Airships do have stats that fluctuate according to components.

As your journey into the Sea of Clouds continues, you will inevitably need to make repairs or replacements.

But be patient too, as each trip can take up to two full days.

With a little bit of luck, you’ll wind up with a handful of Iron Voyage Spoils to acquire your Zu.
