Since Path of Exile 2 has solved a series of issues with the new season Dawn of the Hunt, new race events will be launched.
This race event is free and open to players on PC and console platforms, and will also give some rewards to those who actively improve themselves and challenge others.
The main purpose is to let players enjoy the fun of the game and compete with others to see if they are the best players.
TimeThis time is divided into three games, each one week apart, and all players participate in the event at the same time, which means that if players in other time zones want to participate in the event, they need to adjust their time to ensure that they don’t miss it.
The specific times of the three races are as follows:
Race 1: May 25, 2025 1:00 PM (PDT) Race 2: Jun 01, 2025 1:00 PM (PDT) Race 3: Jun 08, 2025 1:00 PM (PDT) Race RulesAll players can try it. Players will create characters and register according to the link released by POE 2. After creating the character, they cannot drive the character until the start of the race.
Participants compete to be the first to defeat Doryani in Act 3.. This is a standard Solo Self-Found, so players need to be prepared, and if they die, they will be penalized for one minute, during which you will not be able to move.
And this competition has a ranking mechanism. At that time, Path of Exile 2 will release a ranking link, which will facilitate players to check their respective rankings during the game, or to see who took the shortest time after the game.
Reward MechanismCurrently, there are seven classes in POE 2, including the newly added Huntress. The highest ranking person in each class will receive Demigod’s Virtue Unique, which means that there will be 7 chances to get this reward in one game.
There will be 3 games in total, so there are 21 chances in total. If you want to have a chance to win the prize, it is best to be careful not to die.
And there is no limit on the number of times a player can participate in the game. That’s mean that players have a chance to get multiple Demigod’s Virtues.
At the same time, the player who completes the race the fastest in each class in the three games will receive any table mat printed with POE 2 game content; and the fastest player among all players in the three games will receive a Divination Card.
With the increase in future competition activities, POE 2 will cycle all Demigod’s items in a loop. In the end, it will be combined into an armor set, including a weapon, so if you are very good, you may be able to collect the entire set of armor.
The competition will be broadcast live on the video platform, and all participants can choose whether to broadcast live by themselves.
At the same time, the items won by players can be traded, which means that even if you don’t win the game, you can use $1 to get prizes.
The main purpose of Path of Exile 2 launching this event may be to keep players enthusiastic about the game, test and optimize new game mechanisms that may be launched in the future, and the launch of new activities can effectively stimulate players’ discussion about the game.
In the recent release of Diablo 4 Season 8, the most discussed point among players, in addition to the changes to the boss, is the changes to Battle Pass.
D4 has been thinking about Battle Pass for a long time. This S8 finally solved the problem of the difficulty in obtaining Battle Pass rewards by introducing new Reliquary System to replace the previous Battle Pass, but new Reliquary System itself also has some problems, which makes players feel dissatisfied.
In April, the game content of both Path of Exile 2 and Last Epoch was significantly updated. However, since Diablo 4 decided to postpone the release of the second expansion to 2026, the 2025 roadmap for Diablo 4 looks a bit boring, with only one joint news in the second half of the year.
So combined with the above reasons, this time, Battle Pass was replaced with new Reliquary System, caused a lot of discussion in the player community.
More ChoicesThe most obvious difference compared to Battle Pass is that new Reliquary System provides players with more paid options. New Reliquary System no longer provides a single pass that includes free and paid appearances and premium props, but is more finely divided.
There is a free route and three paid routes for players to choose from. Players can choose one or more of the three appearance props according to their needs and use Platinum to obtain prop and also can get some $1.
The price of each appearance prop is different. Take S8 as an example:
Belial’s Return - Free Weapons - 200 Platinum Beasts - 500 Platinum Armor - 800 PlatinumPreviously, all paid appearance props only required the get of a Battle Pass, and the price of a Battle Pass was 1000 Platinum. Players can still use 1000 Platinum to get three reliquaries. But for players who only want one or two, it may be more cost-effective to get them separately.
It should be noted that once you get a reliquary, you can no longer get all reliquaries on 1000 Platinum. So players need to consider whether they want those reliquaries carefully to ensure that they don’t spend more Platinum.
More Complicated ProcessAlthough D4 S8 provides players with a wealth of choices, the way to unlock reliquaries has been redesigned, making the process of the entire season more cumbersome. Before S8, you only need to play specific games in the game to earn XP and upgrade Battle Pass.
But, in S8 players must complete the season quests to obtain unique Favor Tokens to obtain the reliquary and obtain the items in it.
In addition, the past season completed the season quests to obtain Favor to increase reputation, and now this system seems to have been integrated into new Reliquary System.
Due to the introduction of the new Reliquary System, players who are used to the old process may feel confused and need some time to adapt to the new process, which is troublesome. Perhaps Diablo 4 will take some measures to solve this problem.

Recently, with everyone’s attention, the joint cooperation between Monopoly GO and Star Wars has been smoothly launched. This linkage will last for two months, mainly about the characters related to Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian in Star Wars. Monopoly GO will also provide Star Wars-related characters, themed emoticons, dice and shields for players to collect.
Since its release in 2023, Monopoly GO has developed rapidly and achieved high profits in a very short time, making it one of the most successful mobile games in history. And its extremely high game update frequency and continuous linkage with other brands has always attracted the attention of players.
At the end of September 2024, the most popular event among players was the collaboration between Monopoly GO and Marvel. The event lasted from September 26 to December 5, and players could unlock content related to Marvel heroes in the game. So this collaboration between Monopoly GO and Star Wars also attracted much attention from players and is regarded as a very “groundbreaking” collaboration.
The collaboration has been online since May 1, and players can enter the game and unlock Skywalker Saga in Star Wars series and The Mandalorian in Disney+ series. Interestingly, in this collaboration, players can see the game character Peg-E watching “Star Wars” in Mr. Monopoly’s cinema in Monopoly GO. The most unexpected thing about this collaboration is that the world of Monopoly GO will also be rebuilt based on Star Wars.
In this collaboration, players can log in to Monopoly GO and complete activities to earn Star Wars-related stickers. In addition, those who log in to the game on May 4 will receive a special token “in honor of all Star Wars fans.” to commemorate this collaboration.
Collaboration Content And The Possibility Of Multiple CollaborationsHolding Tycoon Racers multiplayer events with Pod and Rebel Racers at iconic locations such as Mos Espa Grand Arena and Hoth; teaming up with friends to participate in cooperative activities such as building statues and starships; and participating in special excavation activities on Tatooine to potentially earn Star Wars souvenirs.
In this event, collecting $1 also rewards a large number of Star Wars-themed emoticons, dice, and shields in the game for players to collect.
If both parties are absolutely satisfied with this collaboration between Monopoly GO and Star Wars, then Monopoly GO may have a second or third collaboration with Star Wars. After all, Fortnite has reached many collaborations with Star Wars, and Star Wars’ film and television dramas, video games, and novels will be released one after another. Future cooperation should be more distinctive.
Last week, the much-anticipated Path of Exile 2 Early Access was finally released. In this brand new sequel, the new game content is certainly enough to attract players, but what makes players most excited is the addition of multiplayer and couch co-op!
The addition of this feature means that you can explore Wraeclast together with your friends or work together to defeat a very powerful boss. Although POE 2 offers a single-player exploration game mode, the pleasure generated by gathering friends and striving for a goal is far from being comparable to single-player exploration.
However, it should be noted that there are some game elements in multiplayer that differ from single-player games, such as the distribution of loot at the end of the battle and the situation of falling into battle. If you have never been exposed to couch co-op or multiplayer games, this guide will give you an introduction to all the processes in POE 2 so that you can call friends to explore at any time.
How To Play Multiplayer Games?Multiplayer games, as the name suggests, means that you can explore the content in the game with other players besides yourself. So first, you need to make some friends. This does not mean your real-life friends, but game friends. You can enter Social Screen by holding down your J key or clicking the three-line button in the lower right corner of the screen.
At the bottom of this interface, you will see a Friend Invite box where you can enter the name of other players’ characters. After entering your friend’s name correctly here, press Enter, and he/she will become your game friend.
When this friend logs in to the game online, you will receive a message reminder. Then you can right-click the friend’s avatar on the friend list and select Invite to Party tab at the top of the list that appears to form your party.
Once the player joins your party, his/her avatar will appear on the left side of your screen. When you click the spiral below the avatar, you will be teleported to the location where your friend is locked.
Tips For Multiplayer GamesIt is important to note that all the loot you get during the exploration process is shared, not double loot. For example, when some $1 and loot drops on the ground after the enemy dies, there will be a brief window during which neither of you can pick it up, so there is no possibility of it being stolen.
At this time, you can discuss the ownership of specific loot in the party, because some gear is only useful for certain classes. Or you can trade loot with your teammates by right-clicking their avatar and selecting Trade tab. If it is initiated by the other party, you can just click Accept.
In addition, in multiplayer games, the health of the enemies and bosses on your face will be a little higher, but don’t worry too much. They are actually easier to defeat because they need to withstand two attacks each time. Along the way, you’ll also encounter some elite enemies that have names, which means they’ll be harder to defeat and worth your time to learn combat strategies.
Most importantly, in multiplayer, you can only access areas that you’ve unlocked. For example, if your teammate unlocks an area you’re not currently in during an operation, you won’t be able to reach the designated location via the spiral under your avatar. You must unlock that area before you can join it.

How To Revive Other Players?The most annoying and camaraderie-testing part of multiplayer is reviving someone when they die during exploration, so it’s important to understand how the revive system works in POE 2.
When your teammate is killed by an enemy, you need to stand in the golden AOE around their body and click and hold Revive button that appears above the body. Remember, you need to hold it down until they revive. If you are attacked by an enemy during the process, the process will also be interrupted, so try to stand in a safe area and use your time wisely.
How To Play Couch Co-op?Unlike forming a team in multiplayer games, Couch Co-op requires you to have two controllers and two characters. This means that you can explore POE 2 with your friends face to face without any network lag.
You’ll need to select Settings tab in the top-left corner of the character selection menu interface, then select Input at the top to switch to Controller. If no controller input is detected at this stage, this tab cannot be clicked, so please check your controller.
Once connected, you can click Controller #1 button and bind it to your first controller. Scroll down to Controller #2 and select Controller Device to bind the second controller. At this time, a pop-up window that says “Couch Coop Mode Enabled” will appear on the screen.
This means that you can now start exploring POE 2 with your friends with the help of this new feature. Remember to save this setting, and after you exit the menu interface, you can see your character and your friend’s character standing side by side in front of you.
There is a very important detail that you need to remember. You will not only share a screen during the exploration process but also share all POE2 Currency you have cultivated, which ensures absolute fairness!
The above is the specific process and matters that need to be paid attention to for multiplayer games and Couch Co-op that you can experience in POE 2. I hope that with the help of this new feature, you can experience unprecedented exploration fun and the rapid warming of friendship. I wish you a happy game!
Thunderstruck is a very popular promotion in EA FC 25, which provides players with a way to earn additional upgrades by collecting Live cards. This means that over time, players can make their cards more powerful by participating in matches or completing missions.
Although these cards are initially ranked based on their ability, they still have the potential to become better over time. However, it is important to note that while these cards can be further upgraded. It does not completely change their role or importance in the game. Below is a guide to eight of the best players.
8. Federico Valverde–Real Madrid Weak Foot: Four Stars Skill Moves: Four StarsAs a star player for Real Madrid, Valverde has performed very well, and his price is accordingly high. He has been regarded as one of the best midfielders in recent years, and this Thunderstruck version of him is undoubtedly one of the best pre-Team of the Year cards.
Real Madrid links and Valverde’s flexibility to move from CM to CDM or RM make him a must-have card. If you can afford his price and want to be competitive in the higher online divisions, this card is definitely worth the investment.
7. Kevin De Bruyne–Manchester City Weak Foot: Five Stars Skill Moves: Four StarsKevin De Bruyne’s Thunderstruck card is one of the top cards in FC 25. Not only does this card have excellent technical attributes, it also comes with a powerful play style, Incisive Pass Plus, which allows him to deliver a lethal pass to his teammates with great accuracy. This passing ability is extremely valuable for any player looking to build a smooth offensive system.
However, it is worth noting that De Bruyne’s speed in the game is not his strong point. Compared to many other top midfielders, he is slightly lacking in acceleration and agility. In addition, the price of this card is relatively high, which may be a challenge for players with limited $1.
6. Viktor Gyokeres–Sporting CP Weak Foot: Five Stars Skill Moves: Four StarsViktor Gyokeres is widely regarded as one of the best strikers, and with his amazing speed and excellent physicality, he is one of the most hard players to defend in FC 25. His 88 shooting rating adds to the brilliance of this card.
Although Viktor Gyokeres is relatively cheap, it is important to note that because of the small number of Swedish players, you will find it difficult to play many Liga Portugal players alongside Viktor Gyokeres, which increases the difficulty of finding suitable teammates to support your striker.
5. Jules Kounde–FC Barcelona Weak Foot: Four Stars Skill Moves: Three StarsJules Kounde’s base card is one of the best choices for the right back position in FIFA 25 early on. And compared to Gyokeres, Kounde’s link ability is much stronger, as French player has some of the richest quality teammates to choose from.
Jockey is a great PlayStyle Plus for a right-back, as it allows you to more effectively control the attacking players advancing along the wing while maintaining the ability to change direction at any time. This flexibility makes Jockey an ideal choice for players who want to be solid in defense and actively participate in the front court activities in offense.
4. Nicolo Barella–Lombardia FC Weak Foot: Four Stars Skill Moves: Four StarsNicolo Barella’s Thunderstruck card surpasses other similar options in this guide with its excellent accessibility, value for money, and overall quality. Although Barella’s various attributes are not particularly outstanding in terms of statistics, he has consistently performed well in the game with excellent on-field movement and superb dribbling skills.
Despite his relatively small stature, this does not make Barella look inferior to his opponents. He has an extremely strong presence in the midfield area and can control the rhythm of the game through flexible position changes and precise passes.

3. William Saliba–Arsenal Weak Foot: Three Stars Skill Moves: Two StarsWilliam Saliba is one of the best defensive players in Ultimate Team. Saliba has the special skill Anticipate PlayStyle Plus, which makes him one of the best options in the position. Although he is expensive, if players are willing to invest enough FIFA 25 Coins to obtain this card, then you will not have to worry about your center back position in the coming months.
As play styles change and are updated, players with multiple play styles often have an impact on the power curve. However, during such transitions, a few players like Saliba have been able to adapt well and continue to perform at a high level. Therefore, for players who are looking for long-term stability and reliability, investing in Saliba is undoubtedly a wise choice.
2. Marcus Rashford–Manchester United Weak Foot: Four Stars Skill Moves: Five StarsThis card has almost all the ideal characteristics that all attacking players dream of. First, Rashford’s link is very easy to activate, and players can flexibly use him in various game modes. In addition, he can also use Power Shot Plus.
Rashford’s speed, shooting and dribbling ability are all over 91 points, and these three key attributes make him almost omnipotent in the field. The only thing that may be considered a shortcoming is that his Weak Foot is not perfect, but this is just a minor flaw compared to his already very comprehensive ability.
Overall, for players who pursue extreme attacking power, although Marcus Rashford is expensive, the value he provides is definitely worth the investment.
1. Kylian Mbappe–Real Madrid Weak Foot: Four Stars Skill Moves: Five StarsIn fact, Kylian Mbappe is already one of the top dribblers in the game, and in other aspects, he is almost the perfect attacker. He is extremely fast, and he also has excellent shooting skills, accurate passing ability and flexible dribbling style. These characteristics combine to make Mbappe a hard existence to defend.
Besides the excellent attributes mentioned above, Mbappe also has a special ability, his “auras” and “jam”. When French striker breaks through the defense at an amazing speed, there always seem to be some incredible situations, such as offensive opportunities that should have been intercepted or destroyed but fell to his feet for various reasons and eventually turned into scoring opportunities.
If you haven’t tried to use the enhanced version of Mbappe to experience this almost invincible feeling, then it is strongly recommended that you give it a try.
In summary, the above eight players have their own characteristics, and each player has its irreplaceable value. It is recommended to carefully choose investment players according to your own situation. I hope this guide can help everyone better understand and use Thunderstruck promotion in EA Sports FC 25 and enjoy the fun of the game!
If you like playing games with beautiful graphics like Elden Ring, then you may also be interested in animation. In fact, there are also many games that have been animated, such as Persona 4 and the recent Arcane League of Legends Season 2.
Although these animated works have mixed reviews, at least they were expected by game fans and animation fans before they were released. After all, most of the games that can be animated have a good background world view. The same is true for Elden Ring.
Do you remember how Elden Ring set off a wave of MMO games when it was just launched in 2022? This epic open-world dark fantasy RPG depicts a large-scale power struggle in Lands Between, allowing you to not only earn $1 in various thrilling battles but also read the entire in-depth game story through the plot.
The game developers of Elden Ring have not yet expressed their intention to make an Elden Ring animation, but you will find fans making related animation works on social apps and video sites, and the quality and response of the trailers are very good. So let us introduce this fan animation to you.
Overview Of Elden Ring Fan AnimeAccording to the fan animation trailer, the final product will be five minutes long, and more effort will be put into post-effects and overall production than the trailer. Although the game world and story settings of Elden Ring are too large to be presented in five minutes, it is enough to portray the core content represented by Queen Marika or Mohgwyn Palace settings.
In addition, the producer Steins Alter also said that he will make more detailed fine-tuning of various aspects of the animation production later. Including adjustments to lighting tones and realistic surface reflections, as well as the adoption of an artistic style suitable for the game world. The fan animation trailer currently includes 4 versions in English, Japanese, French and Portuguese, and the final work is expected to be released in the summer of 2025.
What Is Steins Alter’s Attitude Towards Animation?Sometimes the quality of an animation is closely related to the attitude of the creator. Although the popularity of a five-minute fan work cannot be compared with that of a full official series, Steins Alter still made a serious comment on the hasty production of anime in the trailer.
For example, Steins Alter mentioned that the second season of Blue Lock was not perfect because of the change of directors, tight production time, and limited animation resources, so it is normal for the evaluation of the entire animation series to drop.
Although fan animations do not have the obstacles such as limited production time, they may have to face a greater concern - copyright issues. At least recently, Berserk fan animation was canceled because of this issue, and you must hope that Elden Ring fan animation will not encounter similar problems.
Elden Ring Fan Animation Strives For PerfectionIf you watch the video released by Steins Alter on March 8, 2024 to announce the production of Elden Ring fan animation, you will find that he hopes to create works with high quality and rich emotions like the best animation studios.

Whether this ideal is feasible remains to be seen, because no matter how popular the final five-minute animation and thirty-six-second trailer are, they can only represent the success of Elden Ring fan animation alone. Reaching similar heights as the well-known animation studios is a distant and lofty goal.
Is There Hope For Elden Ring To Be Adapted Into A Full-Length Animation?As a MMORPG with a large open world and a complex storyline, Elden Ring gives you many paths to choose in the game. Therefore, from the perspective of an official animation adaptation, it is difficult to guarantee that all the storylines of Elden Ring can be fully presented.
However, a full-length Elden Ring animation series can actually focus on a cinematic retelling of one of the key questlines, such as Ranni the Witch. Her story is fascinating and presents an interesting Elden Ring journey, as Ranni’s orbit also includes wonderful characters such as Blaidd the half-wolf, Preceptor Seluvis, and War Counselor Iji.
However, Ranni’s story is just one of several stories that could benefit from an adaptation, and the backstories of Millicent, Fia, and Alexander the Iron Fist are equally fascinating. But if the game’s official intention is to make a full Elden Ring animation, there is actually a clearer and more explicit route that can be taken, which is to adapt Road To The Erdtree manga directly.
As an official manga, Elden Ring: Road To The Erdtree presents the experience of most players in the game in a comedic form. If you have seen it, you may have a lot of resonance. The focus of the entire comic story is Aseo, a funny but unfortunate Tarnished. The series is drawn by cartoonist Nikiichi Tobita. While perfectly reproducing the game world, it incorporates special humor and is completely worthy of being adapted into a full Elden Ring animation.
Of course, whether the official game animation will be released in the future, you can’t deny the efforts made by Steins Alter as a fan of the game. After all, making animation is not a simple task. Instead of speculating on the official’s thoughts, it is better to look forward to and support this Elden Ring fan anime.
As Grinding Gear Games’ much-anticipated sequel, Path of Exile 2 not only inherits the dark style and complex system of the previous game, but also redesigns many core mechanisms.
Among them, the innovation of Passive Skill Tree is undoubtedly one of the focuses of players’ attention. We will explain to you how Path of Exile 2 passive skill tree works so that you can master this complex system.
PoE 2 Passive Skill Tree WorksMany RPGs attract players through fascinating storylines, satisfying combat, and even the temptation of shiny items. Although PoE 2 has these advantages, its core is your power.
It feels good to slap someone in the face with Mace, but it’s even better to slap someone in the face with Mace and unlock several passive skill tree nodes at the same time. These buffs will amplify the most basic actions.
We have prepared builds for all PoE 2 classes, including Warrior, Sorceress, and even Monk. Because PoE 2 passive skill tree is so massive, knowing where you are headed in this RPG is more important than in most games. As hard as it may seem at first, the web of PoE 2 nodes will be the foundation for your climb to the top.
Passive Skill TreePoE 2 is a branching set of unlockable character nodes, which can seem daunting at first, with over 1,500 individual passive buffs for characters to use, but PoE 2 goes some way to making this easier to understand. For example, while every PoE 2 class shares the same tree, they all start in a specific section, and all of the nodes in that section are useful to that class.
At the beginning of the game, you can’t go wrong when choosing which passive nodes to unlock. You can get a skill point to unlock a node every time you level up. In the early stage, these skill points will gradually improve your basic abilities.
Things like increased melee damage are always good choices early on. You can take a step forward in the passive skill tree by unlocking nodes, and think of it as a fixed track with branching options as you progress.
If you accidentally go in the wrong direction, or just don't like how your build is going, you have the opportunity to spend some $1 to reconfigure your passives.
It’s worth noting that although you start in a specific part of the passive skill tree based on your class, you can develop in any direction as long as you have enough points to unlock the nodes.
Three types of nodes constitute PoE 2 passive skill tree. They are Attribute Nodes, Notables, and Keystones. We’ll cover them in more depth next.
Attribute NodesAttribute Nodes are an important part of any PoE 2 build, often simply adding some aspect of a character’s attributes. For example, if you spend a skill point to unlock the Skill Speed node, your attack and cast speed will increase by 3%.
These increases stack as you progress through the tree, and as we mentioned earlier, there are a lot of Attribute Nodes that will benefit your character in the beginning, so you’ll want to unlock these early on as much as possible.
You may come across an Attribute Node that gives you a choice of attributes that give a flat bonus, and you can choose the attribute you think will benefit your character. For example, you can choose between a +5 to Strength, Intelligence, or Dexterity, and if you’re playing a class that relies on melee damage, it might be worth choosing Strength increase.
NotablesSometimes, you’ll reach a node that’s a little bigger than a normal Attribute Node, and that’s a Notable. Notables are nodes that are bigger boosts to one aspect of your character, but are usually more subtle. Notables can also tweak the functionality of some of your skills, which can be very useful for players who are starting to lean towards a certain playstyle.
Repeatable Explosives is an example of a Notable. This Notable gives your Grenades a 20% chance to explode a second time. Obviously, if you don’t use Grenades in your build, then Notable is useless. But for players who rely on high burst damage from throwable Explosives, this could be a game changer.
There are other Notables, such as Shrapnel, which gives your projectiles a 30% chance to penetrate enemies and a 30% chance to ricochet onto the terrain. If you have a PoE 2 Support Gem on your crossbow that increases projectiles, and then unlock Shrapnel Notable, you could potentially have a Shotgun-like weapon that can instantly shred hordes of enemies.
KeystonesKeystones are the largest and most unique unlock nodes in PoE 2 passive skill tree. They offer powerful bonuses, but often come with specific drawbacks. Keystones are nodes that you must build around in order for them to work.
For example, Mind Over Matter Keystone shifts all damage you take into your mana pool before it affects your health, but it has the drawback that your mana regeneration rate is reduced by 50%. For it to work effectively, you have to seek out and unlock nodes that not only increase your mana pool but also increase regeneration rate. Otherwise, you’ll be left with nothing but health but no ability to use.
Some Keystones, like Pain Attunement, increase your chance of a critical strike when you’re low on health, but decrease it when you’re close to full health. While this isn’t necessarily a big adjustment to your build path, it may require you to change up your playstyle a bit. Keystones have a proportional risk and reward, but if you can get any of them to work in your build, they can be incredibly powerful.
Now that you know how PoE 2 passive skill tree works, it won’t be hard to build the most powerful character you can. See you in-game!
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics is a currency in Final Fantasy 14 that provides a way for new and pre-Endwalker players to obtain past endgame gear. So, what do you need to know about Tomestones of Poetics? This article sorts out for you how to get and use Tomestones of Poetics in FFXIV.
How To Get Allagan Tomestones Of Poetics?Like FFXIV Gil, Allagan Tomestones of Poetics is a specific currency in FFXIV that you can earn in-game and exchange for some Final Fantasy XIV Items. Please note that players can only obtain Allagan Tomestones of Poetics after reaching level 50 and having at least one job or class.
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics mainly drop from level 50/60/70/80/90 dungeons, raids or trials. You can also get it from Tribal Quests, Hunt, Deep Dungeons and Field Operations.
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics can also be collected by completing Duty Roulette: Main Scenario, which can earn hundreds of Tomestones of Poetics.
