Changes to Allagan Tomestones in Final Fantasy 14
As the vibrant world of Final Fantasy 14 transitions from the Dawntrail saga, players are preparing for the annual rotation of Allagan tomestones, a significant aspect of the game’s economy. With the impending release of FF14 7.4, the Aesthetics tomestones will be phased out, making way for the new Mnemonics tomestones. Players are advised to exchange any remaining Aesthetics tomestones before the launch of the Into The Mist update.
According to a blog post from Square Enix dated November 19, the complete removal of Aesthetics tomestones is confirmed with the upcoming 7.4 update. For those holding onto a stack, a visit to Auriana in Revenant’s Toll will allow for an exchange into Heliometry tomestones. However, it’s important to note that Heliometry tomestones are also undergoing changes.
The Heliometry tomestones will not be entirely eliminated but will be convertible into the new tomestones of Mathematics. Duties that previously rewarded Heliometry will now yield either Mathematics or the newly introduced Mnemonics. While the items purchasable with Heliometry tomestones will still be obtainable, they will be accessible through alternative means.
In a notable shift, the weekly cap on Mathematics will be lifted, although players will still face an upper inventory limit of 2,000. This presents an opportunity for players to invest their Heliometry tomestones in Quetzalli gear, particularly if they have accumulated a substantial amount. Completing one’s collection has never been more enticing.
The new Allagan tomestones of Mnemonics will serve as a replacement for both Aesthetics and Heliometry, available to players who have reached level 100 in their respective class or job. Meanwhile, the Poetics tomestones will continue to be a staple, allowing exchanges for gear up to level 90.
For seasoned players, the ebb and flow of tomestones is a familiar rhythm, yet it remains crucial to ensure that inventories are in order ahead of the 7.4 update. Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.4, Into the Mist, is set to launch on Tuesday, December 16, so players should prioritize clearing out their Aesthetics tomestones before the maintenance period begins. For a comprehensive overview of the changes, Ken’s FF14 7.4 summary is a valuable resource.
