How to get the Automatoise mount in FFXIV Dawntrail

One of the news mounts inFinal Fantasy XIVmight be familiar to you if you’ve run theDawntraildungeon Origenics — Automatoise. This mechanically enhanced tortoise is apparently imbued with the power of many beasts, but how do you get it?

Before you can get the Automatoise mount, you’ll need to unlock theDawn Hunt. These unlock with four different quests, each offering higher level Hunts and increased rewards. These quests are all picked up from Bol Ogaw in Tuliyollal (X:13.8, Y:13.7):

Once you have all of the different Dawn Hunt types unlocked, you should be able to get the Automatoise mount pretty easily, in theory.

However, there is a problem. Like the Vinegaroon inEndwalkerand Forgiven Reticence inShadowbringers, the Automatoise will cost you 3,200 Sacks of Nuts, which is no small order. To get your Automatoise, talk to Ryubool Ja in Tuliyollal (X:13.9, Y:13.5).

If you’re going for this mount, your best bet is to join a Hunt Train and take down A and S Rank marks across Tural. It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to take these on solo, and even if you could it would take you far too long. One of the best resources if you’re looking for a Hunt Train to join isFaloop!, and their dedicated Discord server.

Here’s how many Sacks of Nuts you’ll get for taking down different hunt marks:

It’s worth noting that you can collect Sacks of Nuts in bothShadowbringersandEndwalkerareas as well as the new areas added in Dawntrail, so wherever the hunt takes you, those Nuts will soon pile up!
