What are Allagan Tomestones?
Allagan Tomestones are an end-game currency you get from various duties (Dungeons/Trials) which you can use to buy end game equipment. There are two types of Allagan Tomestones (Philosophy and Mythology). The Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy are easier to obtain than the Mythology (see our list of where to get Tomestones below)
How many Allagan Tomestones can you carry? What is the cap for Allagan Tomestones?
These are questions that get asked a lot, the simple answer is you can can carry up to 2,000 of each, for Mythology though there is a 300 450 a week cap (changed in 2.1). To view this cap simply go to your Character menu and click on ‘Currency’. The Tomestones on top are the Philosophy, the ones on the bottom are Mythology
Where can I use Allagan Tomestones? What can I buy from Allagan Tomestones?
In Mor Dhona (Revenants Toll) there is an NPC ‘Auriana’ near the Aetheryte. This is where you can spend your Allagan Tomestones, all the armor here is higher quality than that of the story quest. Also important to note that if you are doing your ‘A Relic Reborn’ quest, you will need to purchase a ‘Bottle of Radz-at-Han Quenching oil‘ for 900 Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy after defeating Titan Hard.

philo’s are no more as of 2.2 Trade your old ones in for mytho’s in mor dhona
Yep, we’re compiling the Sol/Myth info!
Beastmen Quests give you Tomes of Philosophy
DF Dhorme Chimera now give Philosophy and Mythology Tomestones as well
Main Scenario duty roulette gives 200 philo as a bonus on top of the 100 from the dungeon itself.
What do you do with Philos when you receive all your dark-light gear? Buy other gear for other jobs?
Buy Philo-mats to craft gear!
two small changes to this would be that amdapor keep is 30 myth tomes now and +1 weapons are called Zenith weapons
Very Informative…Very well done, Thanks for the info…
Any reports as to whether Coil of Bahamut rewards you with any tomestones? I’ve had no luck searching for that info so far. Would be nice if CoB had a greater Mythology tome reward than AK… it’s good to dream, rite???
Bookmarked! Thank you.
