As we all know Final Fantasy XIV is still one of the most popular games globally. Even after these years, many new players are joining the game and the fan base is getting bigger day by day. However, many players are complaining, about traveling in the world on their feet. But players can always unlock a Chocobo at level 20 and cut the travel time short. Other than the Chocobo players can also unlock Flying mounts as they keep progressing in the game. Unfortunately, the mount speed of these vehicles is pretty basic at first which makes the player think about how they can buff it. If you’re also looking for ways to increase Mount Speed in Final Fantasy XIV (FF14), then we’ve got you covered.
