Mount Speed

Main article: Mounts

As players progress through the Main Scenario Quests, the speed of mounts on the ground will increase. All mounts have the same base movement speed increase (except two: the   SDS Fenrir and   Garlond GL-IS). The ability of all mounts to fly in all zones has limited the usefulness of ground speed increases, as flight speed is unaffected and faster than the fastest grounded speed.

The speed of mounts is limited in certain areas: Enhancement I is limited in Residential Districts / Idyllshire / Rhalgr's Reach. Conversely, all Frontline and Rival Wings zones have Enhancement II unlocked by default.

The speed enhancement available for all areas can be confirmed via the Mount Speed window under Travel in the Main Menu.

The Shadowbringers riding map system is the same speed as the Enhancement II upgrades for A Realm Reborn through Stormblood zones, however Shadowbringers zones only have the (1) single speed Enhancement upgrade, and the Riding Maps are purchased with Bicolor Gemstones. This arrangement was also used for Endwalker and Dawntrail.

How to Unlock Enhancement II

Enhancement II is limited to A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, and Stormblood zones, as with the release of patch 4.0, an additional mount speed tier was added due to the dropping of Playstation 3 support. Players must buy a riding map for each separate area using Allied Seals (A Realm Reborn zones) or Centurio Seals (Heavensward & Stormblood zones) to gain this extra speed enhancement in the zone associated with the map. The player must have completed the base x.0 Main Scenario Quests before riding maps can be purchased in that expansion. Beginning with Shadowbringers, Shared FATE Rank 2 in a zone must be attained instead before the map can be bought for that zone.

For A Realm Reborn (2.0) zones, visit your Grand Company Hunt Billmaster in Uldah, Limsa Lominsa or New Gridania, startioned next to your Grand Company's hunt board. Each Riding Map costs  250 Allied Seals, for a total of  4,250 seals to upgrade all (17) zones.

For Heavensward (3.0) zones, visit Ardolain in The Forgotten Knight in Ishgard. Maps cost  250 Centurio Seals per zone, for a total of  1,500 seals to upgrade all (6) zones.

For Stormblood (4.0) zones, visit Estrild in Kugane or Leuekin in Rhalgr's Reach. Maps cost  250 Centurio Seals per zone, for a total of  1,500 seals to upgrade all (6) zones.

For Shadowbringers (5.0) and Endwalker (6.0), Riding Maps are available from Gemstone Traders for  70 Bicolor Gemstones each per zone, for a total of  420 Bicolor Gemstones per expansion to upgrade all (6) zones.

For Dawntrail (7.0), Riding Maps are available from Gemstone Traders for  90 Bicolor Gemstones each per zone, for a total of  540 Bicolor Gemstones to upgrade all (6) zones.
