When Square Enix introduced the Gold Saucer to Final Fantasy 14, it added a host of minigames for players to enjoy and subsequent updates have added even more content. Mini-game machines, Triple Triad, Chocobo Racing, Mahjong, and more can all be found in the Gold Saucer, and all of these can earn you Manderville Gold Saucer Points (MGP).
There are plenty of items to be purchased with MGP, including mounts, minions, hairstyles, furnishings, gear, and more. You can purchase prizes in the Gold Saucer from the Prize Claim Gold Saucer Attendant NPC at (X:5.1, Y:6.7) or choose to spend your hard-earned MGP at the Triple Triad Trader at (X:5.0, Y:6.4) if you fancy adding to your Triple Triad Deck instead. Some of the very best prizes cost a small fortune, so you’ll likely be saving for some time to get them.
Updated December 27, 2021: Square Enix routinely adds more prize vendor items to the game, so you’ll often find new shiny loot awaiting you at the Prize Claim and Triple Triad Trader. We’ve updated this guide to include the most expensive Triple Triad cards and have added additional prizes that will undoubtedly significantly lighten your Gil purse.
15 Adamantoise Whistle — 200,000 MGP
Don’t be fooled by his appearance, this Adamantoise is not a slow-mover and can even take to the skies in a bizarre spinning fashion — that’s right, this is a flying mount. If you have a soft spot for hard-shelled creatures, the Adamantoise mount can be yours for 200,000 MGP, making it the cheapest mount that you can purchase from the Gold Saucer. This was also one of the first mounts you could purchase with MGP. You’ll find it under ‘Prize Exchange I’.
14 Noctis Lucis Caelum Card — 200,000 MGP
Many players would have managed to snag this card at a bargain price during the ‘A Nocturne For Heroes’ event, as upon completion, you could purchase it for a mere 10,000 MGP from the special NPC in the Gold Saucer at the time. However, for those who missed this opportunity, you’ll have to buy it from the Triple Triad Trader for 200,000 MGP or hope the event returns one day.
13 Gold Paper Parasol — 200,000 MGP
For players who love a good old traditional accessory, they can purchase the lovely Gold Paper Parasol from the Prize Claim NPC and shade themselves from that hot Eorzean sun. This item will set you back 200,000 MGP and can be found under the ‘Prize Exchange II’ category.
12 Cuff-a-Cur Machine — 300,000 MGP
The Golden Saucer is home to many little mini-game machines that you can play to earn very small amounts of MGP. These mini-games are super fun and some of them are really cute too. It came as no surprise that some of these were later added as home furnishing items that could be purchased with MGP.
You can buy your own Cuff-a-Cur Machine complete with adorable little Gilgamesh for 300,00 MGP. This item is found under the ‘Prize Exchange II’ category.
11 Monster Toss Machine — 300,000 MGP
The next mini-game machine that you can purchase and put in your Free Company house or room is the Monster Toss Machine. These machines are quite hefty, so be sure to make space for it in your home.
The cost of all these minigame machines is the same, and as such the Cuff-a-Cur machine will also cost you 300,000 MGP. This item is found under the ‘Prize Exchange II’ category.
10 Crystal Tower Striker — 300,000 MGP
The last mini-machine available to purchase is the Crystal Tower Striker, allowing players to test their strength even in the comforts of their own home. This machine costs 300,00 MGP and can be found under the ‘Prize Exchange II’ category.
9 Nanamo Ul Namo Card — 400,000 MGP
Represent everyone’s favorite Sultana, Nanamo Ul Namo when battling it out on the tabletop! This Triple Triad card has some decent values to it — A, 6, 4, 8 — so it’s definitely a contender for your deck unless you already have something better. It can be purchased from the Prize Vendor for 400,000 MGP, or alternatively, you can take part in Triple Triad tournaments and hope to score a Platinum Triad Card, which has a chance of yielding this card.
8 Raubahn & Pipin Card — 400,000 MGP
This father-son duo has been immortalized in the form of a Triple Triad card. This card has the following values: 1, A, A, 6, so half of it is particularly strong, but that’s balanced out with a rather weak side. If you want this card for your deck, it’ll cost you 400,000 MGP and there is no other way to get this card as of yet.
7 Angel Wings — 500,000 MGP
For players who want to stand out from the crowd and look rather heavenly, the Angel Wings item can be purchased for 500,000 MGP. This is a great option for those who want an angelic look but don’t want to pay out real money to purchase the Angelic Attire from the optional items store. This item is found under the ‘Prize Exchange II’ category.
6 Korpokkur Kolossus Horn 750,000 MGP
Korpokkurs are an adorable enemy monster that can be found in the Saint Mocianne’s Arboretum dungeon. Players immediately fell in love with their little cute faces and, fortunately for fans of the little sprouts, Square Enix included a Korpokkur minion and mount into the game.
The Korpokkur Kolossus Horn will enable you to be able to summon this mount and it can be purchased from the Prize Claim NPC for 750,000 MGP. This item is found under the ‘Prize Exchange I’ category.
5 Archon Throne — 750,000 MGP
One of the many mounts that you can purchase with MGP is the Archon Throne, as shown here by Twitter User @niceternalstar. If you’ve ever wished that you could summon a chair at any time for your character, this is the mount for you.
This mount will cost you 750,000 MGP, but it’s well worth it so you can lord it over your fellow players. This item is found under the ‘Prize Exchange I’ category.
4 Typhon Horn — 750,000 MGP
Typhon is a recurring character in the Final Fantasy franchise. He usually appears as an enemy, but has also appeared as a summon before. In Final Fantasy 14, Typhon appears as a boss alongside Ultros in The Dragon’s Neck, one of the trials linked to the Gilgamesh storyline.
For fans of this pink monster, they can purchase a Typhon Horn that will allow them to summon him as a mount for the price of 750,000 MGP. This item is found under the ‘Prize Exchange II’ category.
3 Fenrir Horn — 1,000,000 MGP
The Fenrir Horn allows you to summon the Fenrir mount and, for a long time, it was the most expensive item available for purchase with MGP. However, with the addition of new prizes being added, it has now dropped to the second most expensive item you can buy.
This mount costs 1,000,000 MGP, but it’s definitely worth it as it looks super cool. Square Enix did add a reskinned red version of this mount called the Managram, which can only be purchased with Gold Feathers. However, this other version is much smaller than Fenrir. This item is found under the ‘Prize Exchange I’ category.
2 Cloud Strife Card — 1,000,000 MGP
The most expensive Triple Triad card you can buy is the Cloud Strife one and it costs a million MGP. This is the only way to get this card, so if you want it, you’ll be grinding for MGP for a while. This is one of a number of cards that features artwork from the Dissidia Final Fantasy spin-off series.
Though it is a decent card, you can get other great cards with similar values elsewhere, so you might want to save your MGP.
1 Sabotender Emperador Horn — 2,000,000 MGP
What better way to show your love for the Gold Saucer than by purchasing a mount that replicates what the Gold Saucer looks like. Fortunately, the Gold Saucer itself resembles an adorable Soabotender, so in effect, you are riding a giant Cactuar.
The Sabotender Emperador Horn is currently the most expensive item available from the Prize Claim NPC and costs a whopping 2,000,000 MGP. You might have to save for a long time for this one, or hope you get super lucky with a Jumbo Cactpoct win! This item is found under the ‘Prize Exchange II’ category.
