How to get the Honeysuckler minion in Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV)

Beady eyed viewers of Final Fantasy XIV’s Live Letter from the Producers 82 saw a little green lizard with a very long tongue, and it’s finally available to get in-game. The Honeysuckler minion is utterly adorable, but it’s not easy to get. 

When I say ‘not easy’, I don’t mean you’re going to have to battle through encounters with particularly difficult enemies (although this is true). The difficulty when it comes to getting the Honeysuckler minion is that it relies solely on luck and, if you’re anything like me, you’re likely wondering what you did to upset the rolling gods.

How to get the Honeysuckler minion in Final Fantasy XIV

The Honeysuckler minion is a possible drop from any coffer inside Cenote Ja Ja Gural, the Treasure Dungeon recently added in patch 7.05. 

Luck is a huge part of any Treasure Dungeon, especially those with chambers such as Cenote Ja Ja Gural. Not only do you need to get lucky and have a portal spawn from your Br’aaxskin Maps coffer, you also need to get lucky and choose the right doors inside. 

Then, as if that wasn’t enough luck to need, you also need to get lucky and have the Honeysuckler itself make an appearance. It could come at any time, although you’re more likely to find it the further you get into the Treasure Dungeon, so my only advice here is to keep your fingers crossed at all times. 

Not literally, of course. That would make playing a little difficult. Maybe cross your toes instead.

If you’re unwilling to put your reliance on having good luck, and you’ve got a hefty sum of Gil to your name, you could always simply purchase the Honeysuckler on the Marketboard. 

However, you really will need a hefty sum of Gil. As a brand new minion, and a rare one at that, the selling prices for Honeysuckler are currently sky high and this isn’t likely to change any time soon. 

At the time of writing, there is one Honeysuckler for sale on my home world and it’s currently selling for 30 million Gil. Maybe it’s time to start running Cenote Ja Ja Gural, regardless of whether you get the minion or not.
