Square Enix opened its official website for Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.4: The Dark Throne and revealed new details about the upcoming update. Final Fantasy XIV players can expect multiple changes to Allagan Tomestones in the new update.
The Dark Throne Key Art
The official key art for Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.4: The Dark Throne was revealed, which depicts a shadowy but familiar figure in dark armor. In the new update, players may progress the main scenario with new quests, eventually coming face-to-face with this ominous presence. Additionally, patch 6.4 introduces a new raid dungeon, a new trial, a new instanced dungeon, additional Duty support, and new side content such as Tataru’s Grand Endeavor quests. A subsequent patch, patch 6.45, will add even more content in the form of a new criterion/variant dungeon, more Hildibrand quests, and much more.
Changes to Allagan Tomestones
Major changes to Allagan Tomestones will be made with the release of Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.4: The Dark Throne. The update will add Allagan Tomestones of Comedy into the game’s economy, and Allagan Tomestones of Astronomy and Aphorism will no longer be obtainable. Allagan Tomestones of Comedy are obtainable after reaching level 90 with at least one class according to Square Enix. Players may trade their remaining Allagan Tomestones of Astronomy and Aphorism for Allagan Tomestones of Comedy and Allagan Tomestones of Causality. Further, the weekly cap of 450 Allagan Tomestones of Causality will be removed. Allagan Tomestones of Poetics will remain available from level 80 activities and under.
Currently, Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.4: The Dark Throne is scheduled for launch in late May 2023. Maintenance will occur leading into the launch of the new update, so players are encouraged to exchange Allagan Tomestones of Aphorism for Allagan Tomestones of Astronomy before the start of maintenance.
Lastly, Final Fantasy XIV and the latest expansion, Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, are available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
