Actually the difference between the 2 is one gets you Darklight tier equipment the other gets you AF+1 (and the Hero's accessories)



Do you remember which NPC exactly? I got a ton of cracked Materia Idk what to do with

Yes the calamity NPC will take your crack. And are you sure the other tomes are for relic+1?

Not Relic+1, AF+1. And yes. The names of the gear give it away (Cleric's Robe, Melee Boots, etc) and are displayed on xivdb. I have also heard the AF being called AF2

Also note that on the currency tab, tomes of mythology (AF+1) has a "0/300 This Week" note... while philosophy (darklight) has none.

Which makes me think philosophy is either unlimited or only available for 1.0 players to make use of cracked melded gear,
while mythology has a weekly limit from endgame raids.

You can and i have traded single materia for tombs.
Edit: Just a note there a two types of tombs.

I can only asume that some tomes are for cracked materia and redemable for darklight and the other tomes are for the people who cant beat a dungeon and will be able to trade for a lesser verson of darklight.

Earendur, not sure if I am misunderstanding what you say, I don't think you can trade cracked materia on their own for tombs. I've done some trade in materia and melded gear. Only gear melded with cracked materia can be traded for tomb. Cracked materia can be traded to a new materia of the same tier.

True, NPC does not take crack ...... Sorry, NPC doesn't buy cracked materia on it's own for tomes, only gear that has melded materia.

So have we figured out a definite way to earn these, only ended up with 200 tomestones lol.
