I've been looking into the Blackjack mount for a while now, but I'm completely lost on where to start. I remember seeing it mentioned in some older guides, but I can't recall the exact source or quest line. Is it tied to a specific festival, or is it something that drops from a raid boss? I've checked the mount vendor lists and it doesn't seem to be readily available. Any experienced players who have acquired it or know the current acquisition method would be a massive help. Thanks in advance for the tips!

It's from the Eidolons festival, I think. You need to complete a specific set of challenges during the festival period.

I remember seeing it mentioned in a Reddit thread years ago. It wasn't a drop, but rather a reward for completing a specific seasonal activity. You have to check the current festival calendar for details.

Don't worry about raid bosses. This mount is tied to the 'Festival of the Stars' event. You need to participate in the mini-games and collect specific tokens. I got it last year, so it's definitely seasonal.

Wait, are you talking about the Blackjack mount from the *original* FFXIV, or the current one? They might have different acquisition methods. Check the official wiki for the current expansion's festival rewards.

Short answer: Festival. Medium answer: It's part of the annual celebration. You need to keep an eye on the in-game announcements when the festival starts. Good luck!

I found it by doing the 'Lucky Streak' mini-game during the festival. You need to gather enough tickets from the main questline activities to enter the final draw. It's quite grindy, but totally worth it for the cool factor.

Is it possible that the guide you saw was outdated? Sometimes these mounts are limited to a specific year, and if you missed the window, you might have to wait until the next festival cycle. Check the patch notes for any permanent changes.

You need to talk to the NPC at the main festival square. He gives you the quest chain. It's not a drop, it's a quest reward. Seriously, just head to the festival area and look for the quest giver.

Thanks for the tip! So, if I wait until the next festival, I should be good to go? I appreciate the clarification on the seasonal nature of the reward.

I heard it requires a specific currency that is only available from the 'Dance of the Stars' mini-game. You have to complete it three times to get enough currency for the mount voucher.

It's definitely not a raid drop. It's purely cosmetic and tied to the annual celebration. If you are playing on a different server, maybe the festival timing is offset, so check the server time.

Just check the main festival hub. There should be a vendor or an NPC giving out the initial quest. Don't assume it's a raid drop; it's almost always a festival reward.

I managed to get it by participating in the 'Starfall Gala' mini-game. You need to collect three different types of glowing petals scattered around the festival grounds. Once you have them all, you can redeem the mount.

To clarify, the 'Festival of the Stars' is the correct name. You must complete the main quest line associated with the festival to unlock the necessary vendor access. It's a multi-step process, so be patient!
