FFXIV: How to Get the Magicked Umbrella Mount

Final Fantasy XIV is a game where flying mounted on a giant-sized Shiba Inu, a spinning tortoise that shoots fire from its shell, or a giant shining cactus (all while using a pink elephant head) is just your average boring Tuesday. So it’s not uncommon to see a flying parasol joining this list with the Magicked Umbrella mount being added to the game.

The dream of flying and avoiding getting wet simultaneously is already a reality… Or so we thought. It might take a while before everyone can go full Mary Poppins mode around the Hunting Trains. Here’s how you get the Magicked Umbrella mount.

How to Unlock the Magicked Umbrella Mount

The Magicked Umbrella mount (and its Parasol variant) can be obtained through the FFXIV Online Store for $24 each. Take a look at what this marvelous parasol looks like in the video below.

Both the rain/sun protectors were first introduced in the FFXIV Chinese servers in 2022 and arrived a few months later in the other regions. This is not unusual as both Chinese and Korean servers are not directly managed by Square Enix and receive content differently from the international version. Endwalker was only made available in Korea in May 2022, for example. But they were the first region to receive the Street Attire outfit in compensation.

Another example is the Mechanical Lotus mount, which was a China-exclusive mount for a long time before eventually becoming available at the Mog Store for priced at $24. The Magicked Umbrella would later receive the same treatment, complete with the same price tag.

That’s just how licensing works, so expect that to happen more often. But it’s not like the global server doesn’t get nice mounts earlier either. The Phaethon and the Blackjack Airship are two good examples of that, both introduced during the 6.3 Patch.
