I have a player that has mentioned that they would like a wider selection of mounts than what was offered in the PHB. He is a fighter that doesn't plan on multi-classing so find steed spell is most likely out of the question unless there is some way to put it in a scroll that a fighter can cast. Also my party members consist solely of races from VGtM which complicates matters since the type of mounts that they want to work towards purchasing are on the list of "Find Greater Steed" which I haven't came across a price-tag for any of those critters.
So in short how should I handle this? I know that they might get lucky at a Fai Chen's Fantastical Faire but they don't have the time or money to go to random far flung conventions on the off chance that the mount that they want is in "stock" so to speak. I believe that the mount that the rouge in my party wants might be able to be put in a scroll and have it be done that way once she gets high enough level but that just doesn't seem very helpful to her. I will take if nothing else the name of some modules that have magical artifacts that can function as mounts for unlock in them and modules that in its documentation lists any extra purchasable mounts that is not in the PHB. the preferred mounts to the two that wants them is a Dire Wolf and Tiger or something in that vein.
If you play Tomb of Annihilation, you can get the following for 10 downtime days plus gold: hadrosaurus (100 gp), ankylosaurus and deinonychus (250 gp each), and triceratops (500 gp).
Thank you MelancholyKobold. Now do they have to be running the HC to use that downtime activity or would any adventure of that season do it? Also are scrolls handled differently in AL than what it says in the DM basic rules? It seems that when your character dies you can purchase a Scroll of resurrection using tp and get you revived regardless to your or your parties classes and it be used possibility without rolling to see if it fails.
On the topic of mounts, the only ones you can have in AL are the ones you could purchase from the players handbook, the ones that might be awarded in a module (there is an epic that rewards the tier 2 players with gryphons as a mount), something from Fai Chen if you have the resources to purchase it, and then occasional special options that might apply like the ToA mounts above.
There are also some magic items like Figurine of Wondrous power that could be used as a mount on a peridic basis. (I think ToA has a Gryphon figurine for example).
As for purchasing spell casting services, it is outlined in the season 8 player/DM source material. As far as I know, the spell/scroll won't fail, it will just resurrect you. The cost includes the services of an appropriate NPC to cast the spell/scroll and doesn't depend on your party.
If you look it up in the content catalog, it says the downtime activity is available in Tomorrow of Annihilation and season 7 DDAL adventures. You can also purchase things from the Merchant Princes in DDEP07-01 and DDEP07-02.

Where do I find this info? In the Tomb book itself?

a griffon/hippogryph seems fitting
Regarding Fai Chen's, you can find these online these days. I was just at two of them back to back over the past two weekends.
No mounts though. Mostly boring stuff except for my new mini displacer beast.
