Did you cap out your Allagan Tomestones of Poetics in Final Fantasy 14? Here’s some recommendations on where to spend them.
As you play Final Fantasy 14, you’ll amass tons of a specific currency called Allagan Tomestones of Poetics. This currency has a cap of 2,000, so you should spend them rather than letting extras you get waste away to the aether. If you’re just starting out, it can be hard to figure out where to spend them.
Keep in mind that you are not going to make millions of gil in profit from Poetics. Every player above level 50 has Poetics, so there’s a massive surplus. Whenever a new expansion comes out, you’re able to purchase the previous expansion’s stuff with Poetics, so they’re just a unified way to buy old stuff. However, there are a lot of valuable personal uses for Poetics!Where to spend Tomestones of Poetics in FFXIV
You can trade in your Poetics at every expansion’s hub town (Mor Dhona, Idyllshire, etc.) but the Rowena’s Representative vendors in Ul’dah, Limsa Lominsa, and Gridania, sell A Realm Reborn gear, the representative in Ishgard sells Heavensward gear. and the representative in Kugane sells Stormblood stuff. (You will still need to go to Eulmore to get Shadowbringers items, though.)
You can find these NPCs on the map in most of the hub cities near the main Aetheryte as marked by the blue sack icon:
Below, we list a few things you can dump them on, in order of our personal preference.Leveling gear for combat jobs
You can get Augmented Ironworks (level 50) gear from the Rowena’s Representative NPCs in Ul’dah, Gridania, or Limsa Lominsa, Augmented Shire (level 60) gear from the rep in Ishgard, and Augmented Scaevan (level 70) gear from the rep in Kugane. You’ll have to go to Eulmore to get Augmented Cryptlurker (level 80) gear, though.
This stuff is pretty strong and it’ll take you most of the way to the next level benchmark before you’ll need to upgrade.Relic weapon materials
If you’re interested, you can buy the materials for some of the previous expansions’ relic weapons for Poetics. You can grab some of the stuff ahead of time before even starting their respective quests, but some require you to get to certain parts of the questline to buy.
You can buy almost all of these materials from Auriana in Mor Dhona, Hismena in Idyllshire, or the Rowena’s Representative NPCs in Ishgard, Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, and Ul’dah for Poetics.
