Mounts are an important part of Final Fantasy 14, and will be your main mode of transportation. If you want to fly around Eorzea without moving a muscle, the Flying Chair is the mount for you. Added in patch 4.1, the Flying Chair takes laziness to the next level. Let's take a look at what you'll need to craft it, and where you can find the necessary materials.

How To Craft The Flying Chair Mount
To craft the Flying Chair, you will need to be a level 70 Alchemist, and you'll need to purchase the Master Alchemist V recipe book. This item can be purchased from any Scrip Vendor in major city-states for 300 Yellow Crafters' Scrips.
The Flying Chair's recipe will require you to have 1,320 Craftsmanship and 1,220 Control in order to attempt this craft. The materials you will need are listed below.
- 30 Lightning Cluster
- 30 Water Cluster
- 1 Riviera Armchair
- 8 Cloudsbreath
Next, let's go over where you can get these items.
Cloudsbreath
Cloudsbreath is a special plant that can only be obtained through gardening. To obtain it, you will need to plant Cloudsbreath Seeds, which can only be obtained by crossbreeding Coerthan Tea and Dzemael Tomato seeds. It will take roughly five days for the Cloudsbreath Seeds to fully grow, and they must be planted in a garden furniture item at your house.
If you don't have a house, or simply don't want to wait five days for this plant to grow, you can buy Cloudsbreath on the Market Board.
Riviera Armchair
A Riviera Armchair can be crafted as a level 42 Weaver, or simply purchased from a Furniture Merchant for 5,000 Gil, the locations for which are listed below.
- Housing Merchant – Mist (X:10.8, Y:11.5)
- Housing Merchant – The Lavender Beds (X:11.7, Y:8.3)
- Housing Merchant – The Goblet (X:11.4, Y:9.4)
- Housing Merchant – Shirogane (X:10.0, Y:11.9)
- Apartment Merchant – Topmast Apartment Lobby (X:6.1, Y:6.0)
- Apartment Merchant – Lily Hills Apartment Lobby (X:6.1, Y:6.0)
- Apartment Merchant – Sultana's Breath Apartment Lobby (X:6.1, Y:6.0)
- Apartment Merchant – Kobai Goten Apartment Lobby (X:6.1, Y:6.0)
If you decide to craft the Riviera Armchair, these are the materials you'll need.
- 17 Lightning Shard
- 5 Wind Shard
- 1 Steel Plate
- 1 Walnut Lumber
- 6 Fleece
- 2 Apkallu Down
- 6 Woolen Yarn
- 2 Undyed Woolen Cloth
These materials are fairly easy to collect, and can all be gathered by a Miner and Botanist, and crafted by a Carpenter, Armorer, and Weaver.
Additionally, you can purchase these materials separately on the Market Board, then craft them together as a Weaver to get the Riviera Armchair. However, this will probably end up costing more Gil than just buying the Armchair outright from a vendor, so keep that in mind.
