Scripture tomes are no longer a thing.

You can acquire a 270 weapon easily at the cost of 600 tomestones of poetics. You will need to speak to Hismena and choose the Allagan Tomestones of Poetics (Other) category.

Purchase:
Micro Tomestone
10x Rowena's Token (Scripture)
Illuminati Deepest Gobdip

Talk to Bertana to her right and choose the category Shire Gear Exchange. Buy the Shire Longbow. Don't equip it yet.

Go to (6.7, 7.4) and talk to Seika. Choose Improve Shire Gear, then Shire Gear Augmentation (DoW) II. Exchange the Shire Longbow and Illuminati Deepest Gobdip for the Augmented Shire Longbow.


I don't recall if these NPCs will all have their shops available to you without finishing the 3.0 story, but consider doing this as soon as they're available. Upgrading to a 270 weapon will easily double your DPS, or more, compared to the Atma weapon (which is really a 90 weapon with 100 written on it in sharpie until you've finished all the books).
