Complete FFXIV Gwiber Gwiber Mount Collection Requirements
To obtain the Landerwaffe, you must first collect all seven Gwiber mounts from Shadowbringers Extreme Trials. Here’s your complete roadmap:
| Gwiber Mount | Extreme Trial | Totem Exchange | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fae Gwiber | The Dancing Plague (Extreme) | 99 Fae Totems | The Crystarium (10.1, 11.8) |
| Innocent Gwiber | Crown of the Immaculate (Extreme) | 99 Immaculate Totems | Eulmore (10.1, 11.7) |
| Shadow Gwiber | Minstrel’s Ballad: Hades’s Elegy | 99 Hades Totems | The Crystarium (10.1, 11.8) |
| Ruby Gwiber | Cinder Drift (Extreme) | 99 Ruby Totems | Mor Dhona (22.7, 6.7) |
| Gwiber of Light | Seat of Sacrifice (Extreme) | 99 Totems of Light | The Crystarium (10.1, 11.8) |
| Emerald Gwiber | Castrum Marinum (Extreme) | 99 Emerald Totems | Mor Dhona (22.7, 6.7) |
| Diamond Gwiber | The Cloud Deck (Extreme) | 99 Diamond Totems | Mor Dhona (22.7, 6.7) |
How to Farm Gwiber Mounts Efficiently
Each Extreme Trial offers two methods to obtain Gwiber mounts:
Direct Drop Method: Each trial has a small chance to drop its respective Gwiber Trumpet directly upon completion, allowing you to unlock the mount immediately if luck favors you.
Totem Exchange: Each successful trial completion rewards one or two totems depending on the encounter length. Collecting 99 totems guarantees you the corresponding Gwiber mount.
Since these are now legacy content, you can farm them unsynced in Party Finder with experienced players, making the process significantly faster than during Shadowbringers.

Alternative: Moogle Treasure Trove Events
During Moogle Treasure Trove events, certain Gwiber mounts become available through Irregular Tomestones. As of November 2025, you can obtain the Gwiber of Light for 50 Irregular Tomestones of Revelation. Previous events offered Fae, Innocent, Shadow, and Ruby Gwibers, making these limited-time events excellent opportunities to skip some Extreme Trial grinding.
Unlocking the Landerwaffe Quest
Once you’ve collected all seven Gwiber mounts, accept the quest “The Dragon Made” from Warmachina Fanatic in The Lochs (X:11.5, Y:22.5).
Quest Completion Steps:
- Travel to Azys Lla’s Alpha Quadrant (X:9.6, Y:13.2)
- Witness the cutscene discovering the wyrm-machina
- Fly to the Flagship (X:15.1, Y:22.7)
- Use the Landerwaffe Flute at the designated location
- Enjoy your new two-seater mechanical dragon mount!
The Landerwaffe is special as a two-seater mount, allowing pilots to transport passengers who cannot fly themselves.

Pro Tips for Mount Collectors
Party Finder Strategy: Join or create “mount farming” parties specifically advertising unsynced Extreme Trial runs. These groups understand mount priorities and typically use loot rules favoring those who haven’t obtained the mount yet.
Data Center Choice: The Aether Data Center is renowned for active Party Finder groups dedicated to mount farming, making it easier to find consistent farming parties.
Totem Tracking: Keep track of your totem progress for each trial. Even without lucky drops, steady totem accumulation guarantees eventual success.

Why the Landerwaffe Matters
Beyond its stunning appearance, the Landerwaffe represents completion of Shadowbringers’ most challenging combat content. The “Fast and Flurry-ous” achievement that accompanies this mount demonstrates your commitment to mastering FFXIV’s endgame trials. Plus, as a two-seater, it’s incredibly practical for helping friends navigate zones or showing off during social events.
The mount collection journey teaches valuable combat mechanics, builds community connections through Party Finder groups, and provides tangible proof of your progression through one of FFXIV’s beloved expansions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I solo farm the Gwiber mounts, or do I need a full party?
While these trials were designed for full eight-player parties, they cannot be soloed yet even with current expansion gear. However, small groups of 2-4 experienced max-level players can clear most Shadowbringers Extreme Trials unsynced relatively easily. The difficulty varies by trial—earlier ones like The Dancing Plague are simpler, while The Cloud Deck still requires coordination. Party Finder remains the most efficient method, as organized mount farming groups complete runs quickly and distribute loot fairly.
Q: How long does it realistically take to collect all seven Gwiber mounts for the Landerwaffe?
If you’re unlucky with direct drops and need to collect 99 totems for each mount, expect 40-60 hours of farming across all seven trials, assuming 3-5 minute clears per trial unsynced. However, many players receive several mounts as direct drops, significantly reducing this time. Taking advantage of Moogle Treasure Trove events when available can cut your farming time by 20-30%. Most dedicated collectors complete the entire set within 2-3 weeks of casual daily farming or one intensive weekend marathon with a committed group.
