Don't forget to use your moogle tomes!

[SomeRandomHuman]

They've never reopened the shop to let you spend past tomes. It stays up past the close of the earning period but it's never let you redeem completely expired tomes except for a lifetime supply of yellow star prisms.

Nope. When the third moogle tomestone event ran they started letting you redeem the previous run's tomestones. Just this past run of it they let you redeem ANY moogle tome.

No reason to throw blame around on either side, they did warn us so there wasn't any misleading or fault but it was easy to miss. I redeemed mine in time, but if SE decided to throw the vendor up for a few days it'd be a nice gesture.

The moogles are still there as part of the normal cycle of tome events - they haven't actually left in months. They're always trading for the most recent standard events whether one is currently running or not.

Indeed,there are people are saying the vendor is gone but the moogle is still there just not exchanging pageantry

[LittleArrow]

There is, actually - it was a special event for Fan Fest and it seems to have been treated as something outside of their normal cycle of moogle tomes. Even the prize list felt off compared to the usual offering: repeating the first two wolf mounts (including one just recently available), not giving the usual access to beast tribe mounts, an emphasis on an odd mix of items (some of them easy crafting recipes or purchasable) that came clear when you realised they're all fan-created content from past contests.

It seemed normal to me. I didn't attach it to fanfest. I thought the rewards were similar to the rest. It's fine that you didn't see it the way I did, but there's no point in arguing with someone who already said "I know it's my fault." Really not understanding the hostility towards people just asking. Really weird to me. :/

Anyhow, that's my last post for this thread. I hope they reopen it. It is what it is if it's not. I hope we can all be a little more understanding towards one another. See you all in game

If you're talking about the "redeem any past tomes for yellow star prisms" then yes, that's always been there. If there was something else, it was completely unadvertised and I missed seeing it.

As far as I was aware, the moogle during the event period was trading for Pageantry (current event) and Esoterics (immediate past event) for their advertised prizes and any older tomes for stars only.

Beyond that, as far as I've observed, the moogle is ALWAYS there, active event or not, and always trading for the past two rounds of prizes plus stars.

I'm not trying to be hostile, just pointing out that it was different from the start whether you noticed or not.

I'm pretty sure it was also announced alongside all the Fan Fest events and it had a special logo compared to what it normally has from memory.

Nearly missed out myself, expecting event to end today, not yesterday. Everything always lines up on Tuesdays. If anything is rude and inconsistent, it's ending the event on a Monday.

a monday morning no less. really mad i didnt spend my tomes. totally missed this one is different from every other moogle tome event.

Please Square Enix, consider letting us use our Tokens again, thank you!

The event is over, no more turning in Tomestones of Pageantry

Event page: Here.

The event page states the following:



Unlike previous iterations, this round appears to not allow the purchase of items after the event has concluded.

edit: Also from FFXIV's official English twitter account:



Please spread the word if you see this in time. A lot of people are not only under the impression they can spend the Tomestones of Pageantry after this event ends, they're actively telling people that based off of how previous events have worked.

Ho!
I see why I lost my 200ish ones.
EDIT: only have 67 left and they're still there. I forgot I exchanged some days ago and assumed I lost them because I couldn't exchange them anymore.

I mentioned it in the other thread, but the reason they added the red tape warning to "spend tomes or else" is because the end of the event wasn't tied to the servers going offline for a new patch. The quest would just expire just like all other special events.

5.57 patch is next week, but the only hint they gave during the live letter was they would add echo to certain content. Likely Eden's Promise savage, and probably Diamond weapon NM/EX after XX minutes of wipes. You can hope for a hotfix, and hold onto the tomes since it can't hurt. and we are getting only one more patch, 5.58 before this expansion expires.

I'm just hoping they don't repeat this same thing again and just keep the moogle tomestones the way they were the past three years. Tying something that normally has a longer duration turn in period to a cut off linked to an event was just... not a great idea.

My opinion on the whole thing is that they got strapped for time and resources by COVID lockdown, had the work put in for this years normal mog-tome event, and in light of having no other promotional thing to go with they decided to appropriate it as an event specific promotion.

I feel for them over at the HQ because COVID hit all of us across the globe, but they should keep the turn in up and just remove the symbol over the moogles head. The logo was the real FFXIV fan fest promotion, not the turn ins.
