When traveling in the MMO Final Fantasy XIV, there is no better way to get from place to place than by riding a mount. This increases your speed but also gives you adorable companions. But few mounts in FFXIV are as adorable as the Silkie, which may leave you wondering how to get the Silkie mount in Final Fantasy XIV.
The Silkie mount is obtained by using the Silkie Whistle. You can use this item to call the adorable Silkie mount to your side and go for a joyride. But this means you will first need to get your hands on the Silkie Whistle to summon the Silkie mount in Final Fantasy XXIV.
