How to exchange old Tomestones in FFXIV Dawntrail

If you’ve just logged in to Final Fantasy XIV hoping to set sail for Dawntrail, there’s one thing you should take care of first. Both Tomestonܫes of Causality and Tomestones of Comedy have been discontinued, but they’re not entirely useless, yet.

If you have a stockpile of Causality or Comedy Tomes, you’re able to exchange them for Tomestones of Poetics, which can be immensely useful heading into a new expansion. You can use Poetics to purchase the previously highest level gear (iLvl 660, in this case) or better gear for new Jobs, like Viper and Pictomancer. 

How to exchange discontinued Tomestones in FFXIV

To exchange old Tomestones in FFXIV, head to Mor Dhona and talk to Auriana (X:22.7, Y:6.7). After interacting with her, select “Allꩲagan Tomestone Exc🐠hange.” 

You can exchange either of the discontinued Tomestones for Poetics, but🍸 you won’t get a one-to-one exchange rate. Regardless of which type you exchange, you’ll receive half as many Poetics as you hand in. 

What to do with Poetics in Final Fantasy XIV

Once you’ve refreshed your hoard of Poetics, if you’re looking to head into Dawntrail with the best gear, head to Radz-at-Han and speak to 🤪Cihanti (X:10.8, Y:10.3) to gear up your chosen class with iLvl 660 Augmented Credendum gear. 

Alternative༺ly, if you’ve just picked up Viper or Pictomancer, you’ll be able to get the best level 80 gear by visiting Eulmore and talking to Aymark (X:10.2, Y:11.8). Here, you can pick up the iLv♎l 500 Augmented Cryptlurker gear for either Job.
