Exploring the exciting new lands in Dawntrail, the upcomingFinal Fantasy 14expansion, is thirsty work. It’s always important to stay hydrated while gaming, especially during the rush to play through ten new levels and a hundred or so new Main Scenario Quests. Thankfully, a new crossover event will give gamers an important reason to reach for Mountain Dew while they make their way to the new continent of Tural.

During last month’s 81st Letter From the Producer Live broadcast,Final Fantasy 14announced apartnership with Mountain Dew Gaming. Players based in the United States can earn exclusive FFXIV x Mtn Dew rewards for digital in-game items, including the Sparkling Citrus Refreshment consumable, and real life merch, like apparel and collectables. The biggest prize, though, is the Mountain Zu mount.

What Is The Mountain Zu Mount In FF14?

TheMountain Dew Gamingwebsite offers a bit of background lore for this new item. While trying to tame one of these grumpy birds, Hannish alchemists fed it a special new brew. Not only did it calm the beast — it also made the zu give off a “refreshing citrus aroma.” If only Mountain Dew had such powers outside ofFinal Fantasy XIV! Perhaps its fragrance will help it rank among themost popular mounts inFinal Fantasy 14. You’ll need to earn Mountain Dew Gaming Points, however.

How To Earn Mountain Dew Gaming Points

Earn Mountain Dew Gaming points by buying one of the specially marked soda bottles. Some of the more esoteric Mountain Dew flavors offer an extra bonus. The promotional flavors exclusively carried in Walmart, Dollar General, Circle K, and Casey’s are worth twice as many points as the standard Dew flavors carried everywhere.
