Soooo, I took a break from the game after farming over 600 tomes in the event, mostly to exchange them later. However, I had no idea that we could no longer get the items after the event ends. Granted, it was mentioned on the event's page, but it was so down below and easy to miss. Since the previous events were all similar and we could always obtain the items after the event itself ended, I figured this one was the same and so my brain didn't register this info. Imagine my shock and chagrin when I logged in today to exchange my tomes, and the rewards were nowhere to be found (T_T).
I don't get why this event was treated differently, but it'd be really great if we get the opportunity to exchange the tomes again. If you're someone in the same position, please show your support.
Note: Please, if all you have to say is: "Well, it's your fault, blah, blah, blah," it'd be better if you didn't comment at all. This is a request thread, so such comments aren't what this is about.

There were already at least half a dozen threads on this.
The answer is no.
This was a special fan fest related event and was listed as such multiple places.
also guys, there's gonna be another irregular tomestones event eventually. Let's not lose sleep over this -
07-13-2021, 04:30 AMAlmagnus1Has SE made any stance on whether or not they recommend that we keep the older tomestones?Quote:

Guys, I did say in my first post that it was mentioned on the event's page, so I'm not sure what we're discussing here. Also, I don't dwell in Twitter and don't even have an account there, so forgive me for missing that post /s

Sorry but no. This is a bad suggestion, I think you didn't think this through.
A lot of people that can't read had the same issue as you and already discarded their tomes when they found out they cannot trade them in. If SE would bring it back this late after the event had ended then the forums will be flooded with people QQing that they get their tomestones restored. -
07-13-2021, 05:05 AMEien713Gosh, the forums get filled more and more with people with no tact -.- People make mistakes. It's not about knowing how to read or not. People got used to a certain way the event had been done until that point. Even if they had read the notes (which I personally did), it could easily slip their mind when the event itself lasts for a while.Quote:

I'll simply copy paste my last post in Venandi-who-can't-tell-when-winter-begins their thread:

Don't really stress over it. Everything that was on the shop for that event except the Great Serpent ring are available in game in another way, or have been on tome events before and will probably be back again.

07-13-2021, 05:20 AMEien713If something isn't useful for the thread and is just regurgitated all-high-and-mighty "answers" that benefit no one other than the posters who want to feel superior and put others down, then I'd say it'd be more gracious to not comment.Quote:

But what pains me the most is the time I spent farming the hundreds of tomes that are now useless. That's the part that really stings. The previous moogle events lulled me into a false sense of security with the tomes always still being able to get exchanged after the event ends. And what makes me even more bitter is that out of all the events, this was the one event where I actually decided to not spend my tomes before the end of the event since I paid close attention to the previous moogle event and concluded that we could still use the tomes afterward.Quote:

Just to show how easy it is to miss the note about the items exchange, I went back to watch Meoni's video (since I remember watching it back in the day). He also missed this critical info in his video. I honestly think this crucial info should be mentioned at the top of the page and not somewhere in the middle, lost in an avalanche of other info.
Edit: I came across a video by TheCanadianGamingPenguin and another one by FantasyGirl14 and then another one by Farron Makes Content about this moogle event, and none of them mentioned anything about only being able to obtain the items while the event is running. So as you can see, it's so easy to overlook this detail and it's even easier to berate others for it. -

There have been other threads on this but one thing mentioned in those that I don't see here yet is that most Moogle tome events come in with a patch. This one came in without a patch like the seasonal events. So that may be why they couldn't have anything persist after the time for the event.
If you were taking a break, why didn't you spend the tomes before you took a break? I haven't really understood the reason for waiting after you have what you know is the last tome you'll collect from anyone who did that. -
07-13-2021, 06:00 AMLanadraLike.. we've gone over all this extensively in the Venandi thread. And considering the time that has passed I think it's safe to say SE won't be bringing it back, I know that's not the answer you want, but it's the answer you have.Quote:

I also was planning to sell some items on the MB once their prices became decent again or in case I wanted to gift something to a friend or a new player.Quote:

I had grown tired of the way people discuss things in the forums, so I avoided even checking them like the plague. I also did do a search before posting this thread, but I suppose the keywords I used didn't get me the other thread.Quote:
