The optional store in Final Fantasy XIV is stacked with mounts, outfits, minions, and emotes you can buy with real money. None of it touches gameplay, so the only question that matters is which items actually earn a spot in your collection. A handful stand out for their speed perks, built-in music, or looks you cannot get anywhere else.
Quick answer: Buy the SDS Fenrir first ($29.99). It is account-wide, ships with the first vehicle movement speed upgrade already applied, and it flies. For outfits, Zero’s Attire ($12) and the Scion sets ($12–15) give you the most wear per dollar.
Best mounts to buy from the Mog Station
SDS Fenrir (account-wide, $29.99)
The SDS Fenrir is the strongest real-money mount purchase in the game. It comes with the first vehicle movement speed upgrade already built in, so if you have not been farming maps to raise your ground speed, it will feel faster than anything else you own. The motorcycle is pulled straight from Final Fantasy VII Remake and plays the Bombing Mission theme while you ride. It is filed as a “Terrestrial” mount, but like nearly every vehicle in the game, it can fly.
Fat Moogle (two-person, account-wide, $29.99)
The Fat Moogle is a hot-air balloon with a chair, and the balloon itself is a giant moogle. It seats two, so you can carry a partner or a friend around with you. The real draw is the audio. It plays the Good King Moggle Mog XII theme from the Thornmarch trial, a jingle that follows you everywhere you ride.
Bigger group mounts: Cruise Chaser and Lunar Whale
If you cart people around often, the larger mounts are worth a look. The Cruise Chaser is a two-person mech from the Alexander raid series, and it is account-wide, so one purchase covers every character. The Lunar Whale is the extreme option. It is an eight-seat mount modeled on the final vehicle from Final Fantasy IV, complete with jet propulsion, and it is priced accordingly. Reserve it for hunt trains and full-party travel if you have the cash to spare.
Best outfit cosmetics for glamour
Zero’s Attire ($12)
Zero’s Attire recreates the look of the popular Reaper NPC, and it comes as a complete set at a reasonable price. It is a natural pick if you main the Reaper job or just want a sharp, dark glamour. Zero is also tied to Meteor, the player stand-in, whose primary job carries into Evercold, so the outfit has staying power in the story.
Battlefield Rose’s Attire ($12)
Battlefield Rose’s Attire draws from Beatrix, complete with a metal eyepatch and face guard. The set works on every race and gender, and it keeps a clean, knightly silhouette no matter who wears it. The look ties into a trial that echoes Beatrix’s design, which fits the Final Fantasy IX flavor running through Dawntrail.
The Scion outfit line ($12–15)
The Scions of the Seventh Dawn each have a themed set, and none of them are a bad pick. Some ship with an extra emote, which pushes their value up. Brave New Y’shtola is a standout largely for its boots, but the whole range is solid if you want to dress as your favorite Scion.
| Scion set | Bonus |
|---|---|
| G’raha Tia Attire | — |
| Lyse’s Leadership Attire | — |
| Brave New Y’shtola Attire | — |
| Alphinaud’s Attire | Sharlayan Studies emote |
| Alisaie’s Attire | Sharlayan Rebellion emote |
Ser Aymeric’s Attire is another set worth flagging if you want a formal, ceremonial look outside the Scion range.

All of these are direct purchases with no randomization. You buy the item, and it lands on the character or account you selected, so double-check your profile before you pay. Account-wide mounts unlock for every character on the account with a single purchase, while outfits and single-character items do not.
Where to buy and how to confirm the item unlocked
Everything here is sold through the official store, and it is the only legitimate source. Log in with the same Square Enix credentials you use for the game.
Note: turn on two-factor authentication for your Square Enix account before you spend anything. Your purchases and character data ride on that login, and it is the simplest way to protect them.
If you only ever buy one thing, make it the SDS Fenrir for the built-in speed and flight. Add Zero’s Attire or a Scion set when you want a fresh glamour, and save the Lunar Whale for the days you are hauling a full party across Eorzea.
