How to get the Bluecoat Cat minion in FFXIV Dawntrail

If you’ve kept an eye on Final Fantasy XIV news over the last few weeks, or watched the 82nd Live Letter from the Producer on June 14, you will have seen some of the new minions coming to the game with Dawntrail. 

One of these minions, the Bluecoat Cat, is accessible early into the expansion, but you’ll need to complete a few steps before you can take this kitty on your travels. And who doesn’t love an adorable kitty? Especially one of this pedigree. 

How to get the Bluecoat Cat in Final Fantasy XIV

To get the Bluecoat Cat minion in FFXIV Dawntrail, you’ll need 800 Sacks of Nuts from participating in The Hunt. You don’t need a Dawntrail-specific currency, so participating in even older Endwalker hunts is good enough to earn more Sacks of Nuts.

After you unlock Dawntrail Hunts, the Bluecoat Cat minion is available immediately. So, sprint off to that hunt NPC as soon as you can before adventuring too far into Tural. If you want to dive into the Hunt in Dawntrail, you’ll need to have done a few things:

• Reach level 90 on any Disciple of War or Magic Job
• Complete the level 60 side quest ‘Elite and Dangerous’
• Complete the level 90 MSQ quest ‘The Rite of Succession’

Where to find the Bluecoat Cat in Final Fantasy XIV

The Bluecoat Cat can be purchased from Ryubool Ja (X:13.9, Y:13.4), in the stall to the left of the Hunt Board in Tuliyollal. To get the kitty, you’ll need to part with 800 Sacks of Nuts.

You can get Sacks of Nuts by defeating Hunt Marks in any Shadowbringers, Endwalker, or Dawntrail area, but you won’t be able to access the Ryubool Ja’s wares until you’ve completed the above steps to unlock the Dawn Hunt.
