Final Fantasy XIV: How to get Thavnairian Onions

In Final Fantasy XIV, Thavnairian onions are a necessary vegetable to obtain. Once your Chocobo reaches this level, you'll use it to level them up past level 10 to reach level 20. While they do not reach a high level, they can be beneficial in the open world if you require some assistance. We'll go through where to find Thavnairian Onions in Final Fantasy XIV and how to use them in this article.

Thavnairian onions as quest rewards

Thavnairian onions are awarded by completing two quests:

• Landing a Stable Job: After completing the Level 50 Main Scenario Quest, ‘The Better Half,’ it unlocks an Ishgardian sidequest called Landing A Stable Job. Pick it up in The Jeweled Crozier at coordinate (X: 6, Y:9), from Mathye.
• A Hunter’s True Nature: There are a few prerequisites for this quest. In the Dravanian Forelands, you'll need to finish three sidequests: 'Pest Control,' 'A Step in the Right Direction,' and 'Garbage Duty.' After you've completed those three, go to Hervoix in Tailfeather (X: 32, Y: 23) to begin this quest and receive your onion.

Growing Thavnairian onions

Growing Thavnairian onions takes a lot of time and effort. To obtain the seeds, you'll need to grow them from Thavnairian onion seeds purchased from your server's market board, or crossbreed them with other plants. Thavnairian onion seeds grow in 10 days. Expect to wait an extra five to six days for your crosses to sprout if you crossbreed to get the seeds.

The most straightforward technique we've discovered is as follows:

• Cross-breed Krakka Root and Mirror Apple to get Curiel Root.
• Cross-breed Almonds and Mandrakes to get Nymeia Lillies.
• Then, cross-breed the Curiel Root and Nymeia Lillies to have a chance of getting Thavnairian onion seeds.
• Plant your onion seeds

On the FFXIV Gardening site, there are several more possible crossbreeds that will yield Thavnairian onion seeds.

Using Thavnairian onions

When your choco-buddy reaches level 10, they will no longer acquire experience points. Feed a Tavnairian onion to your Chocobo while it's stabled or out in the open world, and they'll acquire the experience points needed to reach level 11.
