The Tome shop in Camp Revenant's Toll.
They're relics from the Allagan Empire, a civilization what thrived durin' the Third Astral Era. That's around five thousand years ago, in case you're wonderin'. Despite their tiny size, each one's said to contain a library's worth o' knowledge o' the past. They've gained some amount of popularity among the rich eccentrics o' the realm, who buy the tomestones from me by the bagful. An' for my part, I source them from adventurers like yourself. The Allagan Empire once spanned all Eorzea, so there's no shortage o' places where tomestones might be found. Bring me whatever you come upon durin' your escapades, an' I'll strike you a deal.
The Allagan Tomestones are a kind of special currency and item in Final Fantasy XIV. They are archives used by the Allagan Empire, a civilization that thrived during the Third Astral Era, and as such are considered very valuable. The player can exchange tomestones they obtain for high level equipment by talking to Rowena's merchants in Revenant's Toll and Idyllshire.
Types of Allagan Tomestone
Currencies
Allagan Tomestone currencies are capped at 2000 each. They are awarded for completing various high level activities. Allagan Tomestones of Poetics are available to the player at any level (assuming they are capable of unlocking and clearing the content that awards them), however tomestones introduced in Heavensward are only available to characters at level 60, with any reward involving them adjusted to award experience or Poetics at lower levels. As higher tiers of tomestones are introduced, lower tiers are deprecated, and have to be converted to the next tier up at some point before they are removed entirely. If the player still has tomestones of a tier that are being removed, they will be rendered forfeit.
