Final Fantasy 14 players all want a little Moo Deng of their own, but buying one on the market board will cost you

Moo Deng Fandom Sends Hippo Minion Prices Soaring In Final Fantasy XIV

The hippo calf was added with the Endwalker expansion in 2021, and can be looted at the end of the level 85 Vanaspati dungeon--however, the adorable aquatic minion has very low drop rates, which has resulted in high prices on the market board. The average price of the minion prior to Moo Deng's rise to stardom tended to be around 40,000 gil, depending on the server.

It's not often that a minion from a past expansion explodes in popularity like this, but it's likely the Vanaspati dungeon is going to see a lot more clears than usual over the next few weeks before Moo Deng fever is inevitably replaced by the next viral fad.
