I’ll discuss how to get the Kirin mount in this guide. Six mounts are required to access the quest “A Legend For A Legend”.
The mounts are as follows:
- Xanthos mount from Garuda extreme
- Gullfaxi mount from Titan extreme
- Aithon mount from Ifrit extreme
- Enbarr mount from Leviathan extreme
- Markab mount from Ramuh extreme
- Boreas mount from Shiva extreme
To begin, you must finish the MSQ “Let Us Cling Together.” In case you haven’t already, check your diary to see whether you’ve finished the primary scenario of a Realm Reborn.

A Legend For a Legend
Now you can speak with the Wandering Minstrel in Mor Dhona and accept the quest in “A Legend For A Legend”.
Fly to Rathefrost. Once there, blow the Magicked Dizi that you have in your inventory at the specified place.
That completes the quest, and you have earned the achievement “Ichiban” and the title “Tamer Of Steeds.”
Use the Kirin Fife in your inventory, and you can now summon your Kirin mount.
