The Air-wheeler A9 Mount is unlocked by purchasing it from the Air-wheeler dealer Neon, in Solution Nine for 7,500,000 gil. Solution Nine is the second city area of Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, and is unlocked after completing the Main Scenario Quest “Solution Nine.”

Neon, the dealer NPC, is just on the far side of the Nexus Arcade, X: 8.5, Y: 13.3. He’ll appear once you’ve unlocked Solution Nine for the first time, but you may have to complete some other MSQ quests before you can purchase the Air-wheeler.

The vehicle will transform when in flight mode, but rides like a bike while on land. You’ll need to unlock all the Aether Currents in a zone to enable its flight mode.

The Air-wheeler is the flying motorcycle/hovercraft that the enemies that invade Tuliyollal ride. You’ll fight various enemies utilizing this vehicle in both the dungeons and overworld before being able to access it yourself once you have full access to Solution Nine.

However, its high cost will make it difficult to obtain unless you’re a dedicated Gil farmer, who can earn enough gold to buy it. Don’t rush or bankrupt yourself trying to get this thing, as with enough time, you’ll definitely get there.
