The 10 Most VALUABLE Items in FFXIV & How to Get Them 

Folks have pointed out that the Starlight Barding is, in fact, on Mogstation these days so it's the same situation as the tree. High price for the marketable version.

I find it hilarious how expensive the red onion helmet has gotten. I got one in Heavensward from my retainers through quick ventures on several occasions. It even was so common that the average price on the MB was 5k at one point.

Regarding the "Fallen Angel Wings" and the "Wyvern Mount" You can calculate the time investment to acquire these two things via Bi-color Gemstone grinding. Ultimately, it will take you (if you work efficiently and with a few other dedicated players) as little as 200 hours per item, totaling 400 hours of hard grinding to acquire both the Horn and the Wings. Realistically, if you are solo grinding, this can extend your time by an additional 150 (roughly) hours per item. If you are a casual player and time is all you have, then you can see these items falling (all together) into your lap within about a month of grind work. But, most people don't have all the time in the world, and so it will generally take them much longer to obtain them. This is why it's good to set up a "Bi-color Gemstone Farming Party" every time you want to start farming. The more people you have with you farming, the faster the grind will go. You should also take care in measuring the amount of Bi-color Gemstones you acquire over a "3 hour period", as you can roughly acquire 1,000 Bi-color Gemstones in about this time with hard work and persistence. But, the map on which you choose to grind these things also plays a factor, and certain maps are remarkably poor at generating Bi-color Gemstones, as the FATEs simply don't spawn as frequently on certain maps as they do on others. Lastly, with a full party of 8 players, you will eventually start completing FATEs faster than they can generate, and so it is considered "optimal" to simply teleport to another map and continue grinding there. Whenever I run Bi-color Gemstone farms, I make it clear that players who want to farm the FATEs for their "Shared FATEs" grind and people who simply want to do FATEs for the sake of leveling their jobs are also welcome, as any excuse to increase my party size will only benefit everyone else in the party as well. It's unquestionably a Win-win-win situation, the larger your party is for this grind.

The first mount there is modeled from a mob in FF11 so a lot of old 11 players love it for that.

With the Red Onion helm you can get it from quick ventures however it has a ridiculously 1 in 30,000+ drop chance.

The Red onion helm is a fan item. The reason (imo) players would want it is FFIII. The main character of 3 is known as "The onion knight" and he dons a similar looking helm. I want it 😅

Cassie Earring was extremely expensive and rarely sold on the AH in FFXI as well. Working my way through Stormblood now, I keep hearing Eureka has a lot of XI references and I’m stoked.

Both Bardings are available on the Mog Station: Authentic Paramour Barding & Authentic Starlight Barding: $7 each

Man I really wanted that Fugly raptor because collector reasons. I ran at least 20 raids so far and my friend who just did his second run got it and my god I malded. Thankfully if it drops again he said he would give it too me if I don't get it by then. I swear FF14 just loves to rain on you.

They really need to make the quick venture exclusive items obtainable by another means. The untradable/unsellable ones especially. I want my Onion Doublet set, dang it ;w;

Should mention the Red Onion Knight used to be a rare pickup for Retainers sent out on quick explorations, and at some point, SE removed the item from the drop table. Hence why it is so rare now. When I bought one, it was around 5mil, now it's even higher...damn. It's pretty much only used for Knight looking glams, typically on Lalafells since it fits their bodies best.

This list helps remind you that xiv is indeed an mmo. Well just playing the game doesn’t take a tonne of time compared to alot of other mmos. There are some insane grinds or insane rng drops if you look for them. Some of the achievement rewards in xiv are ridiculous in how long they can take, especially if you go out of your way to grind them. (Like alot of the hunt mounts for instance)

Would personally also add "Egg Harness" on the list, last one I saw on my server was sold for 40m last year and none listed since. Based on Universalis the last purchase that happened for this thing on Aether was 2 months ago on Gilgamesh for 500mil. Hell it is so rare I just checked all the NA Servers through Universalis and there is only ONE listing for 1,049,999,999 gil. I know for the longest time it was not available and even on the event where it debuted it required some RNG to acquire.

Bubbins: I'm going to feature you in a video about valuable items! Deinonychus: Really? Thank you Mr. Bubbins! Bubbins: I'm also going to call you really, really ugly. Deinonychus: ... really?

You can still get the red onion helm and a bunch of unique 1.0 gear from quick ventures.

The Onion Helm is more of a Final Fantasy staple in general. It's more for fans of the series.

red onion helm isn't ugly!!!!! it's super cool and its one of the only ways you can glamour as a true onion knight!

I got a Red Onion Helm from Quick Explorations of my Retainers recently. I almost turned it in for GC Seals before thinking it looked kinda special and I never seen the name before. I wonder how many players who don't know about it may have done the same. Either way, extremely rare and lucky to get from a venture.

I didn't think the Bozja mount was that rare, but then again, I got the Emblazoned title about halfway through my time there.

I'm sure someone else has pointed this out at this point, but you stated that you needed to win a roll on #10 (raptor mount) and #9 (cassie earrings) - both of which are personal drops. You don't compete for them :) I'm a bit of a FFXIV completionist, and can give you some insight on the drop rates for both. The Deinonychus is awarded from the final chest in the Dalriada... raid? Engagement? That thing that pops up in Zadnor. Did the achievement string for Dalriada for 50 clears and walked away with 2 of the mounts. Which based on other achievement hunters' accounts, this is pretty typical. I'd say that the Lyon Field Note II that drops in there is probably a bit lower drop rate (though you can guarantee that one by completing the duel). As for the Cassie Earrings - whooo boy. I did most of my Pagos Crystal / Pagos Light grinding on Cassie and KA (Crab) - for every single Eureka weapon. 8500 Pagos Crystals in total - So we're talking somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 times that I killed it and I walked away with 2 sets of earrings. But I have been informed that my luck was astoundingly good - there are people who had to clear several *thousand* kills before they saw their first drop (Those people who stick around in Eureka even after they are done with all of their relic weapons are a different level of crazy)

That's crazy how those last two barding can be extremely expensive?! I have both and somehow that makes me feel a bit royalty or something as a 2.0 player 😂

The 1st Egg Barding ( now on mogstation ), Some old school green items, like the black pantsu, speed belt ( ring )... etc.

I'd actually forgotten I own a couple of these items, it's been so long since I got them. x3 Got the Bozja dino, a few unbound Cherry Trees, and the Paramour Barding. Been debating for years whether to use or sell the Paramour barding and been debating for a much shorter stretch of time whether to use or sell the ugly Bozja dino mount, lol.

Thank goodness I bought the red onion helm last year when it was about 500,000gil x)

I actually got the #10 mount from Borja without knowing it was rare, I personally like the derpiness

I myself bought the red onion helm a little while ago, fun fact you can get it from quick ventures! but the chnce is remarcably low, i bout one becuase i wanted ot be an onion knight llike last year and i've kept it ever since as my tank glam its the best purchase i ever made, even if it did cost me 16 mil!

My good sir, you are menacing the Lala at :45 lol

I haven’t been back to Eureka: Pagos in a while cause I’m trying to finish out my Relic Weapon and currently trying to farm out Hydatos crystals and soon Provenance Watcher scales. But, Cassie is a crazy farm on my server

The first one was 2-4 million on content, I was dumb for not buying a few at the time ngl xD

I actually really want the onion knight helm since FF3 is one of my favorites and I would love to dress up as Luneth (onion knight). I was hoping they would add the whole onion knight getup as a veteran reward kinda like how they did with Firion, Zidane, Cloud, and Squall's outfits, but I'm guessing VR's are dead -_-

I actually got the Zadnor mount once, saw its price and how it looked....and sold it immediately haha. If I got it again (which I won't but food for thought) I'd probably sell it again. I'd never use it unless I wanted to brag, which I don't do anyway, I'd rather make money in preparation for dt.

Red Onion Helm is a nice status symbol but not as awesome as the normal Blue onion helm or the Peregrine Helm. Those two helms can glam with everything.

sometimes people go crazy on the market and that's the beauty of having it open to anyone, not like we have much need for gil other than vanity anyways 😂 btw cassie earring like most rare drops is personal loot, still very low chance but not a bid with other players at least. Also the pinky should be the Elpis maps, not excitatron but could be both idk

The bozja mount is a throwback to 11 im pretty sure.

the red onion helm is almost like an unusual hat in tf2

Got the onion helm from a random quick venture, a few days ago.

Pretty much every old event reward that is tradable is worth an obscene amount of gil, be it gear, housing stuff or bardings etc Also sometimes now useless und unobtainable items like the elemental materia are seen for anything between a few thousands and a few million gil on the MB

As of June 17th 2023, patch 6.4 I just got a Red Onion Helm from a quick venture on my retainer? Pretty crazy, the value is still quite high.

Holy... gonna deck my choco in starlight now, never knew it was so much... lol... Never used it since 2013...

Just a small note: it's not the Pinky mount itself that drops from the Excitatron 6000, but the Exciting Tonic you need to trade 3 of to the NPC in Radz-at-Han to buy it. Also, you kind of forgot the Wind-up Philos and Wind-up Aidoneus minions, which drop from the instance that can be opened by Ophiotauroskin maps.

All items in bozja and eureka go to player directly , there is no rolling on loot, dont know if only one item will per fate to one random person or just your rng with the loot chance.

Still irks me to this day that I equipped the paramour and starlight barding to my chocobo when I unlocked them.

I became obsessed with onion helmet and other rare things when I dmfound out about them and someone for some reason wanted to throw millions away on something so they bought it for me for 21mil. I have not bound it to my character. It's a high value collectible. >.> (and 21 mil tax included is just cuz I found cheapest price for them.) It's not ugly it's awesome. I hope they bring it back since it's used on a character in EO.

I want to black wings something fierce. It would cap off my Black Waltz from FFIX cosplay so PERFECTLY

Got the Red Onion Helmet, thats why people kept sending messages ingame XD I have it glamoured, but its not binded, yet.

unlike the others the Cassie is the only one what effect gameplay and if you want to have the bis in Eureka you need to use it :D

Onion helm is like party hats in Runescape lmao

My Eastern Cherry Trees, from the 2015 Little Ladies' Day festival, are selling on my server for 40,000,000 gil. You can pet it if you'd like.

red onion helmet is available, but only through quick adventures

Only thing I got is the Red Onion Helm which I got for a STEAL apparently at 7.9 million a while ago. I do also have the OG Onion Helm but that one is extra special ^_^

Lol. I own them all, but the mounts. Been playing since beta though. Thanks for this video.

Awesome video man

Omg, finally someone saying how ugly the dino mount is. Never got the Cassie earring in all my Eureka grinding, gave up on that one. All the rare map rewards are stupid low chance anymore, esp the newer ones, since higher floors just don't seem to spawn as often as pre EW, I get SE wants us to grind these out, but after so many tries with no luck, it's very discouraging. Starlight Barding can be purchased on mog station for $7. The most expensive item on mb is actually not even purchasable, since the lister of the item set the price at gil cap, which makes it impossible to purchase, considering mb tax, so it's more to show off and can't actually be purchased. It is an old event item that's no longer available by any means, not even on mog station. And idk about the gil mounts, they appear as 25m to me, for the ronka one, rest are 50m from npc.

The copy cat cassie minion is also pretty rare or it was that said i have quite a few of these but ive played since 1.0

Red Onion Elm is so cool on Lala, I bought it, I have no idea why now there is many on market and cost only 1 million, I bought it for 25m I think or 20, something like that.

They've just added the Paramour Barding again in the Mog Shop. It's called Authentic Paramour Barding :D

what i found helpful is chaos data center is expensive as heck... most prices here is 50% of XD

The golden mounts are all 50mil sold by NPC onlt the vessel is 25mil also sold by the same npc

Love your content!

i dont know anyone in 50 runs that dropped that bozja mount

I hear 50 mil as the most expensive item on the list and I go "Hmmm... That's not thaaaat expensive. Wouldn't take me too long to make. But damn am I too lazy to put in the effort."

Huh? I've had that onion helmet since uhhhh forever x) (I'm old)

WHAT?! I have the red onion helmet that I bought for like 1k on crystal lol. I haven’t played in a year but I call cap on it being millions

Tfw I sold a golden beaver for like 7m To be fair, I had it listed at 15m for 6 months and it never sold, so I don't exactly miss the gil differnce

I have everything but Paramour barding which people try to sell for 250 000 000 to 700 000 000 gil on our servers.. I am just waiting for it to come to the cash shop xD Also, I think recent items are always bit more prizy (like Pinky), but it's not their standard prize. While Cassie always goes around 20 mil, Deino mount (which I got 4 of them, I manage to sell, for 4 mil, 9 mil, 14 mil, and 20 mil - all depends on current content and how many people are engaging in Bozja. But Onion Knight Helm is a rare thingy :)

...the red onion helm I bought for like 20k gil when j was assembling my gunbreaker glamour 4 years ago is HOW MUCH???!??!

"does a homer and vanish into a bush as it seems rare to completel all those fates for both expansions"

The bardings that are now sold in the cash shop do not sell. I’ve had mine on the market board on and off for years with no buyers.

I own all but the onion helm, angel wings, and wivre, i am waiting on content where they make us do fates so i can buy those 2 much cheaper

24m gil for the Golden Beaver? Must have dropped hard in price cause nowadays I see it for only 4m on the mb. Well, didn't intend on selling mine any ways when I got it, but still surprised

I own the starlight barding, since i've been palying since launch. Didn't know it was worth so much, I never use it or think about it lol.

Wow I need to clean out my inventory I have some valuable stuff 😂

How fucking dare you. Chicken Tender is my son and he is beautiful and he is my favorite mount of all time. Haters will say he's ugly but you don't understand the strength of his love and his heart.

There are people out there with 999,999,999 gil on 10 retainers and their alts. Very few people have that much. Absolutely insane. They claim to have done it legitimately in 3-4 years time. It is crazy the cost of items. The fate grind (7,000 fates) for two items is too much. It is as bad as the Hunts. MMOs need more realistic targets and not ones only "full time players", account sharing, or botting will get.

I sold the red onion helm on adamantois for 47.5m

I'm just straight broke. I just want the coins emote and the golden fish mount lol but I know I'll never get those.

How do you do that. Make your character talk like that ?

Black angel wings on twintanniangoes for 45m gil

Gil isn't that difficult to get at the moment. All you have to do is farm purple scrips for the control X materia. If you spent a month farming purple scrips, then you would be swimming in gil haha

Oh man, I have a onion helm ,crap I’m a millionaire I didn’t know it

I....I like the Dalriada ugly dinosaur uwu

Answer: all expect 3 ... 2 for gems and red onion.... and I dint buy anything from MB

THAT WAS MY BARDING THAT SOMEONE BOUGHT! MAUAHAHAHA

i personally love the deinonychus mount, dunno what ya sayin

I spent 70 million gil on the ugly EW dinosaur. It is only gil and gil is mostly useless.

So happy none of these look worth my time lol

i have it, but can't use it, cuz i am viera

Luckily I just sold my Paramour Barding a week and a half ago! (for 67mil) cuz now it's on the Mog Station 😂 phew! I have one unlocked but also got another copy when I saw it for cheap on the MB and kept it in storage. Finally decided to sell it.

North America*

I didn’t expect to have 2 of these

18 or 20m seems reasonable for the Red Onion. On my realm it sells for 50M atm which is stupid.

#10 "But he never drives it... he just rubs it down with a diaper."

What pisses me off about all this is that there will be the most minimal grinds in the game at the forefront of the gameplay, requiring little to no effort. Then for the most random mundane item they want you to spend like half your year trying to complete it. Relic weapons get instantly finished, but submarines? More than half a year. Hunt mounts? Dedicate your life to it. Fishing? Yeah capture like 1000 for this title. There's no in between lol its either braindead straightforward or the most grueling experience.

I don't like the pink elephant

mark my words the markets in ffxiv are slowly being trashed on purpose the inflation of pricing on low end items is a prime example . its ppl tryng to slow the game to a grind crawl burning players out and causing it to lose players . this is not the 1st time it's been tried and wont be the last and if ignored will end up no different then other games

All of these items are cheap

I got a Deinonychius in my frist dalriada run, if I only knew it was so rare, i would never had used it...
