Gold Saucer Attendant (The Gold Saucer – Entrance Square, X:5 Y:7) Minion Trader (The Gold Saucer – Minion Square, X:8 Y:7)
Either will hand over the minion if you have enough MGP. Though the Minion Trader doesn’t have quite as many lists to navigate so it may be simpler.
Getting Started
To access the Manderville Gold Saucer you’ll need to complete a very short Quest. The Well-Heeled Youth (Ul’dah – The steps of Nald, X10 Y:9) offers the Quest “It Could Happen to You” at Level 15. The Saucer is accessible early in your adventures, as soon as you can ride an Airship. The Gold Saucer often changes its Event Schedule, putting some on the shelf while others become daily. It’s always a good plan to check out the Gold Saucer every patch or so. Just to see what new prizes or attractions may have been added. The Manderville Gold Saucer offers a myriad of ways to earn the MGP you’ll need. Here’s a list of every Attraction the Saucer offers that can easily net you the scratch:
Triple Triad Lords of Verminion Chocobo Racing Cactpot and Mini Cactpot Doman Mahjong The Fashion Report Mini-games such as Cuff-a-cur, Out on a Limb, or The Finer Miner GATEs (Gold Saucer Active Time Events) Cliffhanger Air Force One Leap of Faith Any Way the Wind Blows The Slice is Right
These all reward varying amounts of MGP, some small and some huge. This is in addition to a Weekly reward for completing your Challenge Log. If you complete every Challenge Entry, you’ll actually walk away with roughly 95,000 MGP. That’s almost five Heavy Hatchlings! Another note is that your Free Company could even run Actions like Jackpot II, increasing your winnings even further. That’s especially effective considering it stacks with special Events like the Make It Rain Campaign.
What Happens In The Saucer Goes Outside The Saucer
Once you’ve acquired your portly pal, don’t let that stop you from seeing all The Saucer has to offer. There’s a huge array of prizes to be won. Some I daresay may entice you more than the Heavy Hatchling Minion. Here’s a list of the Prizes you can cash out for:
Mounts
Hairstyles
Minions
Orchestrion Rolls
These are all in addition to various Glamours. You’re sure to find something that will fit your taste, well after you’re the proud owner of the Heavy Hatchling. There are always Prizes to be won and fun to be had in the Manderville Gold Saucer! Should you have a desire for more chubby and bird-like things, great news: There are three different Fat Chocobo Mounts that can scratch your itch: All in all, it’s always good to have options. And if you love big fat birds you’ve certainly got some.
