So let’s see how we go about earning those 
Irregular Tomestones of Genesis II and what we can exchange them for!
When is the Second Hunt for Genesis?
From Tuesday 14th May at 8am GMT (7pm AEDT), to Monday 24th June at 14:59 (GMT)/25th June 2024 at 0:59am (AEDT)
What are Irregular Tomestones of Genesis?
Moogle Treasure Trove events are rewarded though an Irregular Tomestone system.
This means it’s a separate type of currency to the Tomestones you earn for gear – Poetics, Comedy etc.
These are then traded with Itinerant Moogles for your actual rewards.
Why are they called Genesis?
This event sees you earning Irregular Tomestones of Genesis II. My theory on the name is because EndWalker closed a very long “chapter” in the history of Etheirys, DawnTrail will be starting a completely new thing, hence genesis.
Itinerant Moogles Alert!
Normally, Itinerant Moogles offer rewards from previous Hunts (e.g. the 10th Anniversary Hunt). This means if you have leftover tomestones then you can redeem them even after the event ends.
However, we have to pay a bit more attention this time, due to rewards coming from two sources.
- Mogpendium (more on this shortly)
You cannot claim rewards from the Mogpendium after Patch 7.05 - Item exchanges
(Itinerant Moogle rewards) are only possible until the release of Patch 7.1.
Where are Itinerant Moogles?
- Gridania: South-East of the main Aetheryte
- Limsa Lominsa: South-West of the main Atheryte
- Ul’dah: head South-East from the primary Aetheryte. The Moogle is on the other side of the main street.
Why is this Moogle Tomestone Event Different?
- The Moogle Treasure Troves of 2024 are different from previous years due to the Mogpendium. This not only lists qualifying duties, but is also the source of your tomestone rewards.
- The activities you can do to earn the Irregular Tomestones of Genesis II are broader than prior years.
- From the official page
it could include FATEs, Grand Company Hunts, Ocean Fishing, Treasure Hunting and more. - You can also earn Moogle Tomestones through GATEs (the FATE equivalent in the Gold Saucer). Though I assume a certain level of success is required, which usually rules me out!
- The qualifying activities change each week.
- There are four types of objectives.
What is the same?
- You still can’t earn the tomestones via Duty Support, Squadrons or Trust. This is a shame. I don’t see why they can’t given it actually would earn them slower than via player-run groups.
- Bodiless Moogles still indicate qualifying duties in Duty Finder.
If Grand Company Hunts are included, make sure you get the necessary promotion to rise up the FFXIV Grand Company Ranks.
How to Earn Irregular Tomestones of Genesis
The Mogpendium
For past Moogle Treasure Troves, a list of qualifying duties was published. (Read: dungeons, trials and raids, with some PvP thrown in). Now the qualifying activities can change – cue the Mogpendium.
First up, there will be some First Hunt shots here until I can replace them all for the Second Hunt. I am only one person and I will be prioritising the rewards at the start of the event. Thanks for patience!
What’s the Mogpendium For?
Now that’s said, here’s what the Mogpendium is all about.
You use this new UI element to do two key things: Find qualifying activities and to claim rewards for completing objectives.
This is important to remember. Your Irregular Tomestones of Genesis II won’t automatically go into your inventory if they are awarded via the Mogpendium. See Claiming Irregular Tomestones of Genesis.
Completing Objectives
There are various ways to earn those Tomestones in The Hunt for Genesis. They are divided into four groups: Standard, Weekly, Minimog and Ultimog:
Standard Objectives
- Can be completed repeatedly.
- Irregular Tomestones granted on completion.
This is more like other Moogle Treasure Troves. Look in Duty Finder for disembodied Moogle heads for this week’s qualifying duties.
Both Ocean Fishing and GATEs also fall under Standard Objectives.
You must score 1200 in Ocean Fishing to get tomestones.
Weekly Objectives
- Can be completed…once a week. No way!
- You will be assigned a specific objective from Standard Objectives.
- Complete this for bonus Irregular Tomestones of Genesis II.
Confirmed: For a dungeon standard objective, I received the regular reward for completing the standard objective (in my case 3×) as well as this weekly one, making a total of 23× for one dungeon run. Not bad, all told!
These change at 8am GMT (7pm AEDT).
Minimog Challenges
- These are also Weekly.
- You must complete one of the two objectives to get your Irregular Tomestones.
- It could be almost anything else in-game: FATEs, Hunts, Fishing, Triple Triad. Who knows what else?
New to Triple Triad?
So was I at this event (despite having collected cards for ages!). There are many guides to playing TT. The one I found the clearest is by TheGamer.com.
Ultimog Challenge
- You can complete this Once per Event Period.
- Complete the “special tasks” for a “sizable” tomestone reward.
Second Hunt
So, for the Second Hunt for Genesis, you need to unlock Floors 51-100 of the Palace of the Dead Deep dungeon.
This is done via the Quest What Lies Beneath. Speak with the Wood Wailer Expeditionary Captain at Quarrymill in the South Shroud to pick up this quest, which is for characters Level 17 and above.
First Hunt
For the First Hunt, the Ultimog Challenge was scoring 8000 Points in one Ocean Fishing Trip. I’ll update this once the Mogpendium is updated for the Second Hunt of Genesis.
Good luck!
Struggling with a Triple Triad Minimog?
If you’re totally new, you may find passing the Minimog tricky (depending on the rules). I tested this on a different character who had almost no extra cards.
I would suggest you build your deck a bit first. Focus on the first two NPCs in the Gold Saucer, then try to collect some cards from NPCs in the City-States. Lastly, if you have excess MGP, then you can buy some cards at the Gold Saucer itself.
Which GATEs Count for Irregular Tomestones?
To find out which GATEs you can complete, head to Standard Objectives and scroll to GATE. Clicking that will give you a list of qualifying GATEs.
This was the way I earned by first 7× Tomestones of Genesis on my L50 character.
How Tomestones are Awarded from GATEs
Most GATEs in the Gold Saucer have degrees of success. Or, from my experience, degrees of failure! That affects the amount of 
MGP you are awarded.
The Genesis Tomestones follow the same pattern. The more successful you are (or the less you fail), the more tomes you get.
A Leap of Faith
You can get maximum 
Irregular Tomestones from Leap of Faith GATEs by only retrieving bronze Cactuar and completing the course.
I haven’t tested not getting all the bronze ones, though. Just focus on completing the course if (like me) you suck at getting the silver and gold Cactuar!
How to Do This Hunt on Low Level Characters
I initially thought that the Hunt for Genesis would be great for players of almost all levels. I was partially right!
Unlocking the Gold Saucer
Firstly you do need Airship Access, which is granted as part of the Level 15 “Envoy” 
MSQ questlines. Secondly you must do unlock quest 
It Could Happen to You.
That unlocks a special Gold Saucer destination at the Airship Ticketer (Free from Ul’dah, but not a free return ticket).
How to Earn Irregular Tomestones for New Players
Your options are limited until Level 35. I’ll explain why in a second:
- Ocean Fishing:
Assuming you have the Fishing job, pick up the quest All the Fish in the Sea to unlock Ocean Fishing. Next time a ship is ready to depart you can do that part to earn tomestones. Ocean Fishing is a Standard Objective so can be completed any time a full boat can be made up. - Gold Saucer GATEs:
Like FATEs, GATEs spawn all the time in the Gold Saucer. Find out which GATEs count here. - Minimog: In week 1, at least, there were two Minimogs and one suited lower-level characters or newer players (playing a relatively easy game of Triple Triad). Check both objectives and do whichever you can.
- Certain Dungeons from Level 50:
The lowest-level dungeon that grants Irregular Tomestones of Genesis is The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard) at Level 50. It seems FFXIV raised the bar this time around, which makes me a little sad for newer players.
Why Is My Mogpendium Filled With Question Marks???
Because you have not yet unlocked that duty. The Mogpendium will also tell you how to unlock it.
Using Dungeons for Levelling and Tomes
In the last Genesis Chasse, you were able to use lower-level dungeons. But the second one is more restrictive. Use this event as an opportunity to level a class/job you don’t often use, then unlock the side dungeons. That way you don’t have to rush your MSQ or main class/job and still take part in the event this way.
What I Think to the New Approach
In the past, I had to decide not to engage in a Moogle Event completely if I was not high enough in level. Now I’m L90 I can do all the things. But it’s not true of all my characters.
Having a wider variety of ways to earn the tomestones will particularly benefit newer players. And I am always in favour of that. A Tomestone event shouldn’t just be a “time sink to keep endgamers busy”. It should give players of all ranges rewards they cannot yet earn another way – or are actually much harder work to do so!
Claiming Irregular Tomestones of Genesis
As I already said, some Standard Objectives will automatically give you your Irregular Tomestones of Genesis.
But, for a lot of things, you need to claim your reward. To do this, go into your Mogpendium, find completed objectives and hit the Claim Rewards button.
Reminder:
→ tomestones must be claimed from the Mogpendium by Patch 7.05
→ Tomestones must be exchanged by Patch 7.1
Irregular Tomestones of Genesis II Rewards
I have managed to get many of the events previews up here. I am → Need to work in Daytime today as FFXIV Event started by 10ammissing the Gabriel A mount and have yet to work towards the Carbuncle Earrings (because of spending tomes to fill in the gaps in this guide!). Hopefully this stuff is helpful for you!
If you have your own shot of the earrings, do Message me on Mastodon (or BlueSky) with a missing screenshot. I credit any that I use. Thanks!
Recent additions:
- Gabriel Alpha Mount
- All the Allagan glamour items have previews in various races.
- The Behemoth Heir Minion
- Round Lanner Mount
- Missing Orchestrion Roll listings
Emerald Carbuncle Earrings 100×
Glamour for you! Image from the official site. I intend on getting these for at least one, if not two, of my characters. So I will replace this picture once I’ve acquired the other items I don’t own for this guide.
Ala Mhigan Barding 30×
Glamour for Your Chocobo!
There is a very good reason I don’t own this yet – it is from one of those FATEs that requires several players to clear: Rattle and Humbaba.
Late Allagan Armour of Scouting 15×
Late Allagan Armour of Aiming 15×
Late Allagan Coat of Healing 15×
Late Allagan Coat of Casting 15×
Gabriel A 50×
Ah, yes, the Bozja Southern Front. That’s where you normally pick up this complex bit of Magitek. That’s one of a few reasons why I don’t have it!
I mean, it is impressive, but I needed to earn it on a character it suited, so here you go!
Direwolf 30×
Can also be obtained from the Ixal Tribal Reputation Vendor for
120,000 Gullfaxi 30×
May also be obtained from The Naval (Extreme), though the drop rate for those mounts is known to suck, plus if you’re in a group you have to roll for it. Tomes might actually be easier!
Round Lanner 30×
I finally have this one, whoop! Gotta collect ’em all, heh. I know, I know, that’s from the Yo-Kai Watch Event. It doesn’t help that my daughter is hooked on Pokémon, though.
Outside of Moogle Treasure Troves, you have to get HeavensWard Helm Fragments from The Minstrel’s Ballad: Thordan’s Reign. Either do that 99 times (I’m not kidding) or hope the RNG favours you with the Whistle.
Auspicious Kamuy 30×
Screenshot by [email protected]
If you like pain, you can get these through completing The Jade Stoa Extreme 99 times. Or, at least until the RNG goes your way. Which might be 99 times!
Fashion Accessories
Cheerful Chequered Parasol 30×
Also available for 1200 Skybuilders’ Scrips
Minions
Initially I only had one of these minions. Now I own two but not the Goldfish/Orf. Once I get the tomes, I will update this!
Domakin
At the time of writing the Marketboard Price of this minion was 500-800k!
Go for tomes, or wait for them to enter the Market and bring the price down. I used the one from the official site, sharpened it and added a Ruby Sea background.
Petit Pteranodon 7×
Is/Was Available via Kupo of Fortune
This quite large pterodactyl-like minion does, in fact, sit on your shoulder, though it does look rather heavy!
Behemoth Heir 7×
Can also by acquired for 400×Centurio Seals in Ishgard. But honestly, I got this one with one Minimog challenge. If you want this minion, do it during this Moogle Tomestone event!
Housing Decorations
There are three housing decorations up for this Moogle Tomestone event. They are all craftable. This means you can make it yourself, or get a friend/Free Company player to make it, or get it from the Market Board.
But make sure you shop around and wait for prices to reduce. I’ve put links to Universalis under each of these. That way you can see if prices are trending up or down before buying.
Universalis is a community tool and is not necessarily accurate in real time. Always check actual prices and cross-world market boards.
Crystarium Wardrobe ×20
A not-overly ornate wardrobe filled with an array of skirts, coats, trousers and hats. Only things you don’t mind a complete stranger seeing if they were somehow to peek into your wardrobe.
Though, by then, the weirdness of the stranger exceeds anything they might spot in there. Hopefully.
Low Bookshelf ×20
How low can you go? Lower than the Low Bookshelf is feasible, but at least you can pretend you’re organise with this solid wood piece of furniture.
Philosopher’s Stone Table ×20
A stone table for Philosophers, not a table for a Philosopher’s Stone, savvy?
Crafting these Decorations
Apart from the occasional ingredient, most of the materials come from ShadowBringers zones.
When it comes to the Stack of Tomes – these can be acquired for 5,000 from housing areas, and you can visit those for free once you have done the local “Where the Heart Is” or equivalent.
Check your Free Company vendors, or your neighbourhood NPCs (including the Lobby vendors in apartments). Do not pay through the nose. These tomes cannot be crafted, nor acquired any other way. See here.
Other Rewards
Here is the misc-and-other collecion of smaller rewards:
Triple Triad Cards
- Paissa Card – ×10
- Dhalmel Card – ×10
- Innocence Card – ×7
Or via The Crown of the Immaculate - 9S Card – ×7
Or via The Copied Factory
The availability of these cards depends on certain quest completions. See the footnotes on the official site!.
Orchestrion Roll – ×7
- Blinding Indigo Orchestrion Roll – ×50
- Keepers of the Lock – ×7
- On Windy Meadows – ×30
Magicked Prisms

Irregular Tomestones of Genesis I Rewards
Here are the rewards from the first hunt, so you can exchange any old Irregular Tomestones you’re holding onto.
Outfit Glamours
If you like the metallic Allagan look then this is the Hunt for you. Or if you like a little choker with a dog’s head over your throat, then go for it!
Note: the names of the Maiming/Striking set now match the correct thumbnail images. Additional races/body shapes may be added at a later date.
- – 15(1)
- – 15(1)
- – 15(1)
- – 100
- (All Classes) – 30(2)
Ultima Horns
To know the enemy become the Enemy? I’m pretty sure looking like part of the Ultima Weapon wasn’t part of Hydaelyn’s plan. Though maybe Nero’s wasn’t far off…
Late Allagan Armor of Fending
More races will be added after the weekend (there’s been a lot to make for yous!).
Mameshiba Neckerchief
I may or may not get this item. It’s a lot of Tomestones and it’s not the sort of glamour I personally use. But if this is your thing, then no doubt the time investment is perfectly fine for you.
That’s what I like about games such as FFXIV, we don’t all have to do everything to have a good time.
(1) While these are Level 1 glamours, they are still class/job restricted. They can also be obtained for 4000 Wolf Marks each.
(2) The Ultima horns can be exchanged with Bertana in Revenants Toll for 5×Proto Ultima Exoplating. Looking at the methods of obtaining this stuff, it looks like a royal pain in the backside. So if you really want those horns, and some players do, the Moogle Treasure Trove is the least painful method!
Mounts
Thank you to @ScaleCat
for their screenshot! The Bomb Palanquin Horn can also be obtained for
120,000 from the Kobold vendor once you have reached Trusted standing with the 789th Order tribe. 
30The Dhalmel mount can be obtained via the Kupo of Fortune “scratch card” from the Ishgardian restoration. At least, that’s how I got mine. Is that still a thing?
Minions
7
You can also adopt your griffin for a “mere” 400 Centurio Seals (in Ishgard). Seriously, if you want this minion, then the Moogle Tomestone event is far, far quicker!
7
Little Leannan is a possible drop from The Grand Cosmos
, and can be obtained in Eureka Orthos. 50
You can also acquire this Irregular Tomestone minion in Eureka Hydatos (See FFXIV Collect
). The Hunt for Genesis seems much easier to my untrained eye! Hairstyles
50 This hairstyle can, per FFXIV Collect, also be obtained for 1,800 Skybuilders’ Scrips through Ishgardian Restoration tasks.
I am showing it here on one of my Miqo’te and will try to get the style on a couple of other races too.
Chocobo Barding
- Titania Barding – 50
Decorations
All these decorations are craftable if you have the right crafting level or know someone that is. They’re also not that many Irregular Tomes of Genesis. So, whichever method you find the most fun – do that!
Triple Triad Cards
Just as an FYI, if you cannot see all these Triple Triad Cards at the Itinerant Moogle, it’s probably because you need to complete some content first. See the bottom of the items list. I’m not a fan of repeating verbatim what someone else has written.
- Deepeye Card – 10
- Archaeornis Card – 10
- Stormblood Gilgamesh Card – 7
- Tiania Card – 7
Orchestrion Rolls
- Decisions (Omega) Orchestrion Roll – 30
- Twilight over Thanalan Orchestrion Roll – 30
- Indomitable Orchestrion Roll – 7
Misc
- Ostensibly Special Timeworn Map × 2 – 30
- MGP Platinum Card, worth 50,000 – 30
- Magicked Prism (Job Mastery) × 10 – 1
More to Come on the Moogle Treasure Trove Hunt for Genesis!
This is essentially my pre-guide to this Moogle Tomestone Event. I will add other item previews soon. I do own some of these things already so I can help you window-shop ahead of the event starting next week.
TL;DR Something for Everyone for This Moogle Treasure Trove?
If the methods of obtaining the items are as broad as I think, most players should be able to get something! Make the most of your Mogpendium and clear some objectives.
Obtaining those Irregular Tomestones of Genesis should not be too difficult I don’t think. Pick the sort of activities you enjoy and focus on those. That way you stand a better chance of obtaining your target rewards, without feeling like it’s a grind!
I’ll see yous soon in FFXIV! (and don’t forget to check the official site!)
