There are a number of different carving stones in Final Fantasy XIV, including the gems of Phantasmagoria and Goetia, which will be available when you reach max level. However, many players completely forget about Poetics once they reach the level cap and start focusing on late game quests. This makes them sit on beer hats because they don’t spend Poetics.
While they won’t help you achieve any late game goals, such as crafting or equipping, Poetics are a good balance for other chores, relic weapon purchases, and charm items. other charms, gardening or even just making a profit in the market. Don’t let them sit in your inventory when they can be put to good use.

How to get Poetry
first bonus
Every time you complete a task that you or another team member has not completed before, you will be rewarded with Poetics. This will give you a steady stream of codex income as you progress through the dungeons and trials of the main scenario, but it’s also a nice little bonus when you help new players complete the content.
Sometimes new players should advertise in Party Finder if they need help completing the quest queue or completing the old Ultimate Trials to complete the quest. In order to attract high level players, they should advertise that they have a first recruit bonus. The additional poems that come with it can inspire more people to come and help.
roulette
It’s no surprise that roulette is the most efficient and reliable way to collect a collection of poems. After all, roulette is designed to encourage advanced players to keep running old content, so new players can always find someone to fill their ranks. Poetry as a reward for running content used to be the mission of the late game level cap, so the two naturally go hand in hand.
One of the great things about Poetics is that you don’t have to run stuff above a level 80 character to get them. You can collect these stones while leveling up the lower classes.
Only a few roulettes offer Poetics as a daily bonus, as listed below. The amount in parentheses is the minimum reward you can earn from the tasks it entrusts to you. Some dungeons or raids may offer much more; Older levels limit the dungeon to 50.

| Level 50/60/70 | 100 (+20*) |

awesome tail
Khloe Aliapoh from Idyllshire gives you a Weekly Log of Magic Tails filled with quests to complete. Tickling nine of these will allow you to submit your completed diary and receive a reward, depending on how lucky you are at placing your stamp. Usually, one of the easiest bonuses is the 500 Codex of Poetic.
PvP
Lately, I’ve become more and more interested in PvP, and the number of poetic tombstones you get is actually pretty good for a small time investment. Frontline matches will give you 50 points, while Festival matches will only give you 20 points, but matches are usually short-lived. The parties are more intense and you have more responsibilities, so if you’re not quite confident in your working PvP kit yet, then Frontlines is the right choice.
what to buy with poetry
Level 50, 60 and 70 . equipment
If you haven’t leveled up all of your battle classes yet, you can prepare for that by purchasing a set of gear for each stage of the leveling up. Tome of Poetics is the currency used to buy old end-game gear, so at levels 50, 60 and 70 you’ll be ready with the best gear for your job. These items usually last until the third dungeon of the next expansion pack (The Aery, Bardam’s Mettle or The Qitana Ravel), after which the dungeon drops start to have better stats.
Make sure to enhance the gear with the appropriate upgrades (twist, solvent, etc) for an extra level of 10 items and the ability to dye the equipment. This advanced equipment usually lasts until the fourth dungeon of the next expansion, at which point you should upgrade the dungeon drop or HQ crafting equipment for the best combat effect. .
At level 50, you can get Ironworks gear from Auriana’s Mor Dhona (Aelina sells this weapon in exchange for an encrypted Codex Stone and Rowena’s Poem Card that you buy from Auriana). If you want to upgrade these items, you can also buy carbontwine and carboncoat here, but you need to take them to Hyrstmill (North Shroud) and have NPC Drake upgrade them to ilv 130.
At level 60, you can buy Idyllshire Shire gear from Hismena (Bertana will give you Rowena’s Bible tokens and miniature tomestone weapons, available from Hismena). Enhance these items by purchasing the Illuminati Deepest Gobdip, Tautest Gobtwine or Darkest Gobcoat for corresponding weapons, armor or accessories. Be careful to choose the right upgrade materials so you don’t waste your Poetic Tome. Once you have the items, take them outside the building to Seika in Idyllshire (6.7, 7.4) and he’ll give you the upgraded ilvl 270.
At level 70 you’ll want to pick up some Scaevan gear from Enna at Rhalgr’s Reach (weapons can be purchased from Eschina using the Military Grade Codex and Rowena’s Genesis Token, all of which are purchased from Enna). Boost all of these with a Scaevan Ester, Twine, or Shellac via E’bolaff at the end of the counter, depending on the item type, and you’ll get an ilv 400 gear set to start the Shadowbringers content.
Other charm equipment
As for the level 60 and 70 slots, there are several other sets you might be interested in, just for the sake of aesthetics. Their ilvl is lower than the counterparts above, but we all know real charisma is the end goal, so browse through the mentioned providers and see if you like any. any works.
They’re pretty cheap right now because they’re purchased in marble from Poetics, and many of these designs are actually pretty cool. Remember to upgrade them if you want them dyed.
Relic weapon materials
Some relic weapons require materials to be purchased with petrified rocks. If you’re making Zodiac (A Realm Reborn) or Anima (Heavensward) weapons, make sure you have everything you need before pouring Poetics on things that don’t matter to you.
Shadowbringers level 80 relic weapons also cost 1000 Poetics each. In addition to the first one you get for free, the base relic requires four Thavnairian Scale Powders, which can be purchased from Auriana in the Revenant’s Toll for 250 Poetics each. You can find these under the “Special Weapons” section of her menu.
gardening supplies
If you are a gardening enthusiast, you probably need an ample supply of soil. Thanalan grade 3 topsoil is particularly useful for maximizing vegetative hybridization and is a good use for poetic landmarks. This item can be purchased from Beltana with an unrecognized ore and from Hismina in the “Special Weapons” tab for 150 Poetics.
You can also buy level 3 Shroud Topsoil, which increases crop yields. Remember that there are some plants whose yield is not affected by this type of soil. This advanced topsoil is obtained in the same way as above, but with an unrecognizable crust instead.
In short
I hope you find something useful for all your poetry collections. Let me know in the comments where you use them or if I’ve missed another use for them.
