In order to unlock the Shark Mount, the player will need to earn more than 10,000 points on an Ocean Fishing trip. Before doing this, it is recommended that the player be at least level 60, as it will be much harder to unlock it if any lower. Players should also go on the Ocean Fishing Trip with friends, as bonuses can be unlocked when playing with other people, making it much easier to reach 10,000 points. The player will want to try and trigger a Spectral Current, as any one person on the boat can pull it off. These allow for more points when fishing. Unlocking these require the player to complete certain objectives while fishing.

Players can also use Double Hook as it proves to be vital during Spectral Currents. It lets players gain massive amounts of points when they capture two to four rare fish. Players can also make use of Patience 1 during regular fishing to boost their score when capturing high-quality fish and increase their odds to trigger Spectral Currents. Triggering Spectral Currents can be a bit tricky as it requires players to complete special objectives. For example, players need to catch three Gladion Chovy consecutively in the Outer Galadion Bay to trigger Spectral Currents in FFXIV.

Rarer fish spawn during the Spectral Current, and catching them is essential to trigger a Spectral Current. Players should aim for at least 5,500 points (without bonuses) before the trip is over. The bonuses should carry the score over 10,000 points and players will now be able to unlock the Shark Mount. Speak with the achievement vendor in Gridania to claim this mount in FFXIV.

Riding around Final Fantasy XIV on a realistic shark head is amazing and intimidating all at the same time. As with many MMORPGs, the game is best experienced with friends, as bonuses are rewarded for players who complete certain tasks within a party. The game is constantly being updated with new content for players to enjoy. These massive expansions alone can be considered their own standalone titles. Each update introduces dozens of hours of new content to play through. Final Fantasy 14 is a different Final Fantasy experience, and the game is better for it.
