New goodies headed to FFXIV with each update are scattered through Live Letter presentations and patch notes, so it’s easy to lose track of what’s coming when. In Patch 6.5 Growing Light, we’ll see a treasure trove of new collectibles in the form of mounts, minions, Triple Triad cards, and more.
So, of course, we’re here to help you with a to-do list of where and how to collect the new additions. As of Patch 6.55, we’re updating our list to reflect everything added in the Patch 6.5x series, so you should be able to glean what new mounts, minions, and cards are lurking out there for the collector in you. And if you’re here just looking for new FFXIV housing items, we’ve got that covered, too.
FFXIV Patch 6.5x: Mounts
Right now, we know the Growing Light Extreme Trial rewards the Lynx of Abyssal Grief. Also, players that collect all seven Lynx mounts can obtain the Bahamut mount, or at least that’s what we’re calling it for now. The dragon is based on Final Fantasy IV’s pixel art by Yoshitaka Amano.
In this update, you’ll need to have either saved up enough Faux Leaves from the weekly minigame or beat Thordan Unreal to earn your weekly currency. Typically, these cost 600 Faux Leaves to buy when they’re new. Faux Hollows reward mounts are also for sale by other players on the market board, but they’ll cost you millions.
FFXIV Patch 6.5 Mounts:
- Garlond GL-IIT Ignition Key – 100,000 Sefarer’s Cowries

Minions in FFXIV Patch 6.5x
That’s a Mammet — hold your applause for my keen observation. If you’re keeping up with FFXIV’s Island Sanctuary content, you’re probably quite familiar with these little guys. If not, you may want to get to work. This is the Vicarious Vacationer, one of many rewards available from the slice-of-life content.

FFXIV Patch 6.5x: Emotes and Accessories
From the FFXIV 6.5 patch notes, we know “/slump” is one of the latest text commands added. It’s not an in-game emote just yet, so I’m using my brilliance to assume that’s the emote pictured here.

Hairstyles for Hrothgar and Viera
They may be old news for some, but for the Viera and Hrothgar there are plenty of hairstyles still unavailable. In this latest update, FFXIV adds a few more cuts for the two races lacking in salon options. From left to right in the image above, it looks like the Hrothgar have Rainmaker and Modern Legend, while the Viera sport Lexen-tails and Form and Function.
