Allagan Tomestones of Poetics are a type of Allagan Tomestones in Final Fantasy XIV that serve as a catch-all currency for past expansions. For instance, before the release of Endwalker, Warriors of Light could acquire endgame Shadowbringer's Cryptlurker Sets with Allagan Tomestone of Revelation. These Tomestones have since been discontinued, replaced with the Poetics variant that incorporates the endgame gear sets for Stormblood and Heavensward as well.

Therefore, farming Allagan Tomestones of Poetics in FFXIV has been and continues to be a shared endeavor within the community. The currency maintains its relevancy by giving newcomers and pre-Endwalker players a way to acquire past endgame gear to help them get through each expansion. Moreover, post-Endwalker players who've reached max level can still participate in farming Allagan Tomestones of Poetics to buy unowned Glamour Sets or valuable resources. Fortunately, Final Fantasy XIV offers multiple ways to acquire Tomestones efficiently.

FFXIV Poetics Farming: The Easy (But Tedious) Way

These FFXIV Allagan Tomestone of Poetics farming methods are available for each level of player progression, primarily starting at Level 50.

The first and most lucrative way to farm Allagan Tomestones of Poetics in FFXIV is by completing the Duty Roulette: Main Scenario, which nets hundreds of Tomestones to participants. This Roulette will typically send players into one of the final Dungeons of A Realm Reborn's storyline. This is both a blessing and a curse, since the missions are extremely easy and straightforward yet can take upwards of 40 minutes to complete. Furthermore, the cutscenes are not skippable, making this profitable farming method quite tedious to get through.

Other Allagan Tomestone of Poetics Farm Methods

Three different locations in FFXIV where players can farm Allagan Tomestone of Poetics

Alternatively, Warriors of Light can farm Allagan Tomestones of Poetics in FFXIV by completing The Aetherochemical Research Facility (ARF), a FFXIV: Heavensward Dungeon serving as part of the expansion's MSQ. Compared to Duty Roulette: Main Scenario, it's shorter, but it can similarly become monotonous if completed too many times. Completing other daily Dungeons within the Duty Finder will also net a decent amount of Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, but not as much as the Main Scenario or ARF.

Here are some other efficient methods of farming Allagan Tomestone of Poetics in FFXIV:

    Summary:
    Final Fantasy 14 (Final Fantasy XIV) is the fourteenth entry in the Final Fantasy franchise. It is an MMORPG that initially launched in 2010 before it was completely rebuilt from the ground up for a 2013 release as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. After the events of the 2010 iteration's conclusion, where the primal dragon Bahamut brings calamity to the land of Eorza, the player survives and is sent into the future by five years in a world that has begun to rebuild, but now thrust into the middle of a war from the Garlean Empire. As a consistently expanding world with an ever-scaling storyline, Final Fantasy XIV's narrative grows with each expansion, with the core experience still surrounding working with other players and NPCs as they level and customize their characters, engage in real-time events, and coordinate teams to enter massive dungeons to face raid bosses. The game is available to play with people of several nations and has a massive translatable vocabulary for players to be able to work with one another despite language barriers. The most recent expansion pack, Endwalker, was released in December of 2021 and follows the trend of each title releasing roughly every two years. Final Fantasy XIV is available as a free-to-play title up to level 60, where the game then transitions to a subscription model. The game is playable on Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, as the PlayStation 3 version was shuttered in 2017.
