How to get the Capybara (Mehwapyarra) mount in FFXIV

To get the Capybara or Mehwapyarra mount in FFXIV Dawntrail, you’ll need to trade in 12 Ttokrrone Scales to the Miscellany vendor in Solution Nine. The mount is available under Sublime Curiosities, alongside the Mica outfit and head.

Gathering Ttokrrone Scales is no easy feat, however, as it requires you to complete The Serpentlord Seethes FATE in the Shaaloani zone. This is a rare FATE that spawns in a world boss meaning you’ll need to farm the pre-requisite FATEs beforehand to have a chance to spawn it in.

Alternatively, the Discord server Faloop is excellent for tracking the spawn of these rare FATEs and can give you a ping when you need it.

It’s recommended to bring a fair few players to take on the FATE, as the boss itself is level 100, and hits like an absolute truck, easily wiping parties with a few mechanics.

Bring a few healers or Red Mages along so they can revive the party if they fall. You can also set your home point to the nearby Aetheryte, allowing you to respawn there and quickly head back over.

The amount of Ttokrrone Scales you receive from the FATE depends on your participation. Gold participation will net you six, meaning you’ll need to complete the FATE twice. It’s a good idea to party up if you can, since participation is based on aggro, meaning a fuller party will net you more aggro and in turn ensure you get a high enough participation.
