When it comes to mounts in Final Fantasy XIV, we’re all a little spoiled for choice. And yet, with every expansion, we get more and they’re always glorious. One new mount added in patch 7.05 was the Monowheel S1, and it’s probably one of my favorites yet. 

However, it’s not easy to get. Before you can drive around on your Monowheel S1, you’ve got one hell of a battle simply to get it to drop. Things are going to get pretty savage.

How to get the Monowheel S1 in Final Fantasy XIV

The Monowheel S1 is a drop from The Arcadion: AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage). This means that you’ve got a bit of work ahead of you if you want to be the proud owner of this unique mount. 

First, you’ll need to unlock and complete all of the normal Arcadion raids. This isn’t too much of a tall order, they’re fairly easy to complete once you’ve got the hang of the mechanics being thrown at you. 

Then, you’ll need to unlock and complete all of the savage versions of these raids. That means diving in and taking on Black Cat, Honey B. Lovely, Brute Bomber, and Wicked Thunder with no holds barred. This is no mean feat, with even some of the best raiders in FFXIV taking over 10 hours to get through the four bosses during the World First Race. 

On the plus side, the Monowheel S1 Identification Key seems to be a guaranteed drop after you’ve taken down Wicked Thunder, so you’ll only need to complete the fight a maximum of eight times (as long as you keep a consistent party) before you get the mount. 

Is there another way to get the Monowheel S1 in Final Fantasy XIV?

In short, no. As with all raid reward mounts and minions, the Monowheel S1 Identification Key cannot be sold on the Marketboard or traded. This means that your only choice if you want it is to dive into savage raiding.
