Final Fantasy 14players need Resplendent Feathers to purchase the Alkonost Whistle from Nesvaaz in Radz-at-Han, an item that lets players summon the rare Alkonost mount. Purchasing the whistle only requires three feathers, but these items are very rare and finding them is quite the process. The short version is that players must complete the Excitatron 6000 dungeon in order to have a chance of getting the feathers, but unlocking that dungeon is a whole process in and of itself. Players will need to showcase quite a bit of dedication if they want to add this mount to theirever growing collection ofFinal Fantasymounts.

The Excitatron 6000 dungeon that rewards players with Resplendent Feathers comes from a very specific treasure map, so players will need to collect those to get this mount.Final Fantasy 14players are likely familiar with the treasure map mechanics, but it can be a little confusing knowing how to get specific kinds of treasure maps.

How to Get Resplendent Feather

In order toenter the Excitatron 6000 dungeon and earn Resplendent Feathers, players must open treasure coffers found via a Timeworn Kumbhiraskin Map. There are a few ways to get this high level treasure map. As with all treasure maps, players can earn the Kumbhiraskin Treasure Map simply by gathering. Interact with level 90 Endwalker gathering nodes or fishing holes and players will have a chance to earn the treasure map. Alternatively, earning nine seals in Wondrous Tails for Khloe Aliapoh is a guaranteed way for players to earn one Kumbhiraskin Map once per week. Finally, the maps can be purchased from other players on the Market Board, but this may cost a lot of gil.

With the map in hand, decipher it and follow the instructions to find the buried treasure. Dig it up and open it and players will have a small chance to spawn a portal to the Excitatron 6000 dungeon.Completing the treasure map and dungeon inFinal Fantasy 14can be difficult alone, so now it’s time to get together a group of three or more friends and tackle this dungeon. Inside, players will have a chance to earn Resplendent Feathers as a reward.

If that seems like a lot of work just for one mount, the good news is that the Excitatron 6000 dungeon also has many other great rewards. Aside from the Resplendent Feathers, players can also receive things like thenew Royal Lunatender minion, the Archangel Wings, and various other cosmetic rewards. Even so, depending on how lucky the player is, they may have to decipher a number of Timeworn Kumbhiraskin Treasure Maps before they get enough Resplendent Feathers.
