How to Unlock the Automantoise Mount
In Final Fantasy XIV, there are a multitude of creatures that developers turn into mounts players can move around on. The Adamatoise turtle is one of the more recognizable mobs in the MMO, and now it's got a futuristic look in the form of the Automatoise mount.
This futuristic spinning turtle isn't an incredibly difficult mount to get, but it might take some coordination and patience before you can obtain it. The Automatoise mount is tied to Hunt currency, which is Sacks of Nuts.
Where to get the Automatoise Mount
In order to register your very own giant reptilian pet, you'll need to spend some time farming for Sacks of Nuts. Once you've got 3,200 of them, head to the Dawn Hunt Vendor, which is right next to the Hunt Board in Tuliyollal (X: 13.9 Y: 13.5 ). If you're short on Sacks of Nuts, you'll need to go gather some. You can either do this by using the Hunt Board and taking the marks posted there, or by joining Hunt trains. The Hunt Board will only award you a small amount of the currency, so Hunt trains are your best bet.

These trains are timed per World and take some coordination to complete, but doing one will net you the currency you need for the mount, and tomestones as well. There are several ways to find Hunt trains. The first is by checking your World's Linkshells, which will gain you entry to an in-game chat focused on announcing the trains. The other is by using Faloop, a Discord that organizes the trains. There are also other Discords focused on just one Data Center or World if you're not looking to move around much to farm.
Once you've spent your Sacks of Nuts and have the Automatoise Identification Key in hand, simply use the item to register your new mount. Then, you can turn your attention back to leveling all of your jobs to 100 and testing your patience while trying to get the Cherimoya mount.
