Some Final Fantasy 14 mounts are popular because of their looks, while others offer players a way to show off their dedication to specific features of their beloved MMO game. The Alligator mount belongs to the latter category.

It's obtained by players who've spent a lot of time in their Island Sanctuary, a personal instance added in the Endwalker cycle that allow players to let off steam. Island Sanctuaries offer various activities, such as gardening, crafting, gathering, and decorating. Players can level up to 20 and unlock more areas to make their base grow. The Alligator mount isn't easy to get. Here is how it can be unlocked in FF14.

Final Fantasy 14 is Making Changes to Its Fantasia Feature

Along with the Dawntrail graphical update, Final Fantasy 14 will give all players a free Fantasia and a new change to the popular feature.

How to get the Island Alligator Mount in Final Fantasy 14

The Alligator mount is available to players who reached Level 12 of the Island Sanctuary. Once players have met that requirement, they'll be able to see this item listed in the Island Sanctuary's shop.

The Alligator mount's whistle can be bought from the Horrendous Hoarder seller in the player's Island Sanctuary (X: 12.5, Y: 28.5). The mount comes at a hefty price, though: it has a price tag of 35,000 Seafarer's Cowries. As such, at the time of Endwalker's cycle, the Alligator mount is the most expensive that players can get from the Island Sanctuary.

To get it, players must head to their base, which can be accessed in Lower La Noscea's Moraby Drydocks. Then, they can find the Seller in the tent where flying is prohibited. It can be accessed through the "Purchase items with seafarer's cowries" option. Players will have to spend quite some time in the Island Sanctuary to get enough Seafarer's Cowries. This currency is earned by completing challenges and activities in the instance. Players can farm this currency by keeping their Workshop agenda complete and by completing weekly achievements.
