Don't forget to use your moogle tomes!

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

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 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.

Eh, I think the idea was fine, and I personally feel that enough information was given. Some people just didn't look at the details like SE assumed they would. Even so, for everyone's sakes, I think if they are to do this again...they should probably include something along the lines of "x tomes will be unavailable to exchange at x day at x time" just to nip this drama in the bud.

They should probably use a different npc. That's really what caused the issues to begin with.

The itenerant moogle has been around as a "one off" event shop npc longer than the tome events have been.

They used to be brought out during out of game events to sell an earring here or there.

It's probably just used because it's already set up and requires no real manpower to implement. It's location is set, and has been for close to 7 years now? Maybe 8? Long time they've been in game.

Yeah Just the moogle tome events have been established for 3 years before this as a rotating system. Using it this way with a tome currency was just not a great idea to begin with even if it was used differently prior, and I've been around since ARR at this point. I just feel like they are listening a lot less now than they used to. Too many people complaining and nothing being addressed or talked about anymore.

An improvement, that is---such is always welcomed, though we can always expect few lots who always somehow manage to out-idiot it. Where's Yoshi-p's /smh emote when we need it...
