How to get the Lanner Mounts Easy in Final Fantasy 14

The easiest way to get the Lanner Mounts is to team up with a high-level friend and fight all the trials while unsynced. This helps to cut out any competition for the birds and may even be faster than trying to fight the bosses while level-synched. Keep in mind that fighting in a party without a healer or DPS can still be rather hard, so you may want to consider at least having these two classes in your party.

You should also get a refresher on how to fight each boss, as they all have their own gimmicks that can cause you to lose the battle. These can be easier to fall into when only playing with a couple of players, so you may want to recruit as many friends as possible. Even having a part of just four players can greatly help balance out these battles.
