Major-General is a shark minion in Final Fantasy 14 that was added during the Shadowbringers expansion. Many players consider outfitting their characters with the best glamour to be the ultimate endgame, while others enjoy spending their time expanding their mount collection. One aspect of the game can get overlooked. This, of course, is your minion collection.
You will get your hands on a selection of these adorable collectibles through the main story quests. There are many more minions to acquire throughout your time in Eorzea. The Major-General is one such minion that many players may never discover, that is, unless you delve into fishing. A Fisher is a Disciple of the Land class in Final Fantasy. You will need to a group of other anglers to unlock this cute shark minion.

How To Get The Magicked Card Mount In Final Fantasy 14
Final Fantasy 14 introduced three new mounts in Patch 5.55. Here's how to get the second mount, The Magicked Card, in Final Fantasy 14.
How To Unlock The Major-General (Ocean Fishing)
A Group Of Other Fishers On The Ocean
Not all collectibles are difficult to acquire. The Major-General is a relatively easy reward to get but takes some time investment. Luckily, becoming a Fisher is simply a matter of talking to N'nmulika (X: 7.9, Y: 14.2) at the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks. This will start the quest 'So You Want to Be a Fisher', followed by 'Way of the Fisher'. Completion of both missions will unlock the Fisher class.
The Major-General minion will be rewarded upon unlocking the achievement No More Fish in the Sea I. The requirements state that you must get "5,000 points in a single voyage on the Indigo Route." This is done by Ocean Fishing. The activity is easily unlocked by speaking to Fhilsnoe (X: 7.8, Y: 14.5) at the Fishermen's Guild and completing his quest.
Ocean Fishing is only available every two hours (Earth Time). Speak to Dryskthota (X: 3.0, Y: 12.7) in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks to participate. While this can be done at any level of Fisher, it is recommended that you be at least level 50, wearing an average item level 60 equipment. You should also prepare Krill or Plump Worm as your bait. Finally, make sure the Indigo Route is selected when trying to earn the achievement.
The ship can hold up to 24 players at once but will leave regardless of how many attend after 15 minutes.
The Major-General is only one minion in Final Fantasy 14. These can be purchased from merchants, rewarded from quests, or earned through achievements. They can also drop from bosses in various duties, such as Raids. For further details on how to obtain the Major-General minion in Final Fantasy 14, Meoni on YouTube has a fantastic video.
