How to Obtain
Auction House Category: Armor > Back
 * To attempt to get this cape, you first need to collect each of the following:
 * Xhifhut Body
 * Xhifhut Bow
 * Xhifhut Head
 * Xhifhut Strings


 * Turn these in to a Goblin NPC named Peddlestox at L-7 in Western Altepa Desert on Earthsday. He'll then mark the location of a treasure chest on your map.
 * Go to the spot he mark and bring a Pickaxe with you. You are looking for a ??? to use your Pickaxe on. It probably won't spawn right away - some people have waited for 4 hours for it to spawn. Some people claim that if you ride a Chocobo to the spot and have him dig (by feeding him Gysahl Greens) then the ??? will spawn. Others say it only spawns between 20:00 and 4:00. Others have just waited and it spawned.
 * When you dig up the chest and open it you will have a chance of recieving the Sand Mantle. You will also get 4000-5000 gil, and approximately 3-5 of the following (all the possible items may not be listed):
