Well, let me tell ya, if you’re lookin’ to get that Nightmare mount in FF14, you’d better be ready for a long, long haul. It ain’t gonna be easy, and it sure ain’t quick. The drop rate, let me tell ya, it’s low. Real low. Ain’t no sugar-coatin’ that! This mount drops from them old trials, the ones from A Realm Reborn, like The Bowl of Embers (Extreme), The Howling Eye (Extreme), and The Navel (Extreme). Now, I ain’t sayin’ it won’t drop, but don’t get your hopes up too high. You might be sittin’ there for a while before it comes your way.
You see, the drop rate for this Nightmare mount is said to be about 1 in 20. That’s the old number folks used to talk about. Now, I don’t know if it’s changed, but it’s always been a rare thing. Some folks say it might even be lower, depending on how lucky you get. You can run them trials all day long, but it don’t mean you’ll get lucky. Some say they’ve been at it for weeks, and still nothing. It’s one of those things where you could be runnin’ through them trials like you’re goin’ to the market, but still no mount in sight.
How to get this mount? Well, you’re gonna have to run them trials: The Bowl of Embers, The Howling Eye, and The Navel—Extreme versions, mind you. That means you’ll need a solid group of folks who know what they’re doin’, cause it ain’t no walk in the park. You’ve got to beat them trials, and only then will you have a chance at that mount. But don’t get too excited, ‘cause it ain’t guaranteed, no matter how many times you try.
Some folks have said they’ve been real lucky with certain ones like Ifrit. They claim they’ve seen it drop about 5 times when fightin’ him. As for Garuda, a few people got it after 4 tries. But Titan, well, he’s been a bit stingier, only droppin’ it once or twice. Ain’t that somethin’? It’s all luck, ya see. Some folks say the drop rate’s the same for all of ‘em, but they can’t help but feel like some of them are a little luckier than others.
Now, you might hear folks sayin’ it’s a 2% chance to get that mount. Well, that sounds about right. Ain’t nobody’s gonna guarantee it, but if you keep at it long enough, maybe your time’ll come. You gotta run them trials, and do it week after week, even when you don’t feel like it no more. Sometimes you might get lucky, other times you might not. But the more you try, the better your chances, that’s for sure.
If you’re thinkin’ about how many times you gotta run these trials to get your mount, well, don’t expect it to drop after the first few. It’s a rare thing. Might take you a lot longer than you think. Some players say they’ve been at it for months and still don’t have it. It’s enough to make you pull your hair out! But, hey, if you stick with it, one day you might just see that little Nightmare mount in your list. Ain’t nothing like the joy of seein’ it pop up after a long grind.
Now, for the folks out there who are wondering if there’s an easier way to get this mount, well, I hate to tell ya, but there really ain’t. The drop rate’s the same for all the trials, and no amount of wishin’ or hopin’ is gonna make it drop any quicker. You just gotta put in the work, and hope the RNG gods are on your side. It’s just like anything else, sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t. But if you keep pushin’, you’ll eventually get what you’re after.
And while we’re on the subject of rare mounts, let me tell ya, there are some other mounts in the game that are just as hard to get. Take the Victor mount in Endwalker, for example. Now that thing’s a beast! It requires a whole lot of grindin’ just to get a shot at it. But that’s a story for another time. For now, just remember, when it comes to the Nightmare mount, patience is key.
So, if you’re willin’ to put in the time, go ahead and run them Extreme trials over and over. The Nightmare mount could drop for you, but you gotta keep at it. Ain’t no guarantees in life, but sometimes, just sometimes, that 2% might land in your favor. Good luck out there, and happy hunting!
