FFXIV: Moogle Treasure Trove Event Highlights All Items

Moogle Treasure Trove: The Hunt for Aphorism

The 2026 iteration of FFXIV's recurring Moogle event: Moogle Treasure Trove: The Hunt for Aphorism: ran from Tuesday, March 31, 2026 until the Patch 7.5 "Trail to the Heavens" launch on April 28, 2026. The catalog includes 75 items at tomestone costs from 1 up to 100, with the new Miner's Earring as the headline reward. Tomestones earned during the event window stay spendable until Patch 8.0 (Evercold) drops in January 2027, so unspent currency carries over for nine months rather than evaporating at event close.

Key Takeaways

• Event currency is Irregular Tomestones of Aphorism: the "Irregular" prefix distinguishes them from standard tomestones (Mathematics, Heliometry).
• Miner's Earring (100 tomestones) is the only net-new reward this iteration; everything else is a returning item from prior Trove cycles.
• Tomestone earn rates: Ultimog Challenge 50 (one-time), Minimog Challenges 10 each (weekly), Weekly Objective 20 (one random duty per week), Standard Objectives 1-10 per clear.
• NPCs are the Itinerant Moogle in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9.4, 11.6), New Gridania (12.4, 12.1), and Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (9.6, 9.1): not Idyllshire, which hasn't been the hub since Stormblood.
• No tomestones from Duty Support, Adventurer Squadrons, or unrestricted parties without Level Sync.
• Returning standouts: Emerald Gwiber Trumpet and Ixion Clarion mount whistles (50 tomestones each): both were previously locked behind difficult content.
• Unspent tomestones are valid until Patch 8.0 / Evercold (January 2027), so banking for a later catalog is an option.

With the headline facts out of the way, the rest of the article walks through how the event ran, every reward tier, and the strategic call between farming hard now or banking tomestones for the next iteration.

How to Participate (and Where the Moogles Live)

Speak to the Itinerant Moogle in any of the three starting city-states to pick up the Mogpendium, the event objective list that opens in the Duty section of the collections menu. The three NPC locations are:

• Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X: 9.4, Y: 11.6)
• New Gridania (X: 12.4, Y: 12.1)
• Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X: 9.6, Y: 9.1)

Idyllshire has not been an Itinerant Moogle hub since the Stormblood era: guides that send you there are recycled from 7+ years ago. Once you have the Mogpendium, every qualifying duty you clear awards Irregular Tomestones of Aphorism toward the rewards exchange.

Tomestone Earn Rates and the Four Objective Types

The Mogpendium splits objectives into four tracks, each with a different rate of return:

Per-duty examples reported in coverage of the same event: Main Scenario Roulette pays roughly 4-7 tomestones, Frontline Roulette about 4, Ocean Fishing 5-10 (depending on score), GATEs at the Gold Saucer count as Standard Objectives. The fastest tomestone-per-hour rates usually come from a combination of MSR + Frontline + the weekly objective on Tuesday reset day.

One restriction surprises returning players: tomestones do not drop from Duty Support, Adventurer Squadrons, or unrestricted parties without Level Sync enabled. The event rewards actual party play, not solo automation.

The 100-Tomestone Headline Reward

One item this cycle sits in the 100-tomestone tier:

• Miner's Earring: the new event-exclusive earring slot glamour piece. Net-new for this iteration; not previously available anywhere.

Players completing the Ultimog Challenge (50) plus a couple of weeks of Minimog (10 each) clear the threshold inside a normal play cadence.

The 50-Tomestone Tier: The Two Mounts That Matter

Six items at 50 tomestones each, and the two mount whistles are why most collectors farm this cycle:

• Emerald Gwiber Trumpet: previously gated behind Castrum Marinum (Extreme). Returning at 50 tomestones makes this the highest-value mount in the catalog for anyone who skipped the original trial.
• Ixion Clarion: previously locked behind the rare-spawn Horse Outside FATE in The Lochs. Same logic: returning at 50 tomestones is the easiest path for collectors.
• Fat Cat Parasol: sweepstakes-only originally; now available straight from the Moogle.
• Modern Aesthetics: Styled for Hire: new hairstyle.
• Ballroom Etiquette: Fear and Loathing: emote.
• Blood on the Wind Orchestrion Roll.

With the 50-tomestone cosmetic block in mind, the next tier shifts toward mount collection.

The 30-Tomestone Tier: Mounts, MGP, and Glamour

The 30-tomestone tier is the densest mount-collector window of the catalog:

• Ironfrog Ambler (mount), Bomb Palanquin Horn, Direwolf Whistle, Lunar Kamuy Fife, Euphonious Kamuy Fife: five mounts in total at this tier.
• Craftsman's Coverall Top, Singlet, and Coverall Bottoms: three-piece glamour set at 30 tomestones per piece.
• MGP Platinum Card: 50,000 MGP for 30 tomestones; low-barrier entry for anyone chasing Gold Saucer rewards.

The full five-mount lineup at 30 is why the "no new mounts" framing some guides reach for is misleading: the new mount class isn't there, but there is no shortage of returning mounts to chase.

The 15-20 Tomestone Glamour and Housing Pile

The mid-tier is where most of the event volume sits. The 20-tomestone tier is housing-heavy:

• Amaurotine Spire Chandelier, Ornamental Crystal Array, Sweetfish Skewers, Raised Wooden Deck, Mummer's Shelf: five housing pieces, all 20 tomestones each.

The 15-tomestone tier is glamour-and-utility:

• Heirloom Jacket of Fending / Maiming / Striking / Scouting / Aiming: five class-coded glamour jackets.
• Heirloom Tunic of Casting / Healing: two more.
• Paglth'an Jacket of Fending / Maiming and Paglth'an Chestpiece of Striking / Scouting / Aiming and Paglth'an Chestwrap of Casting / Healing: seven Paglth'an pieces across role types.
• Wind-up Ixal minion.
• Magic Bucket (fishing item).
• Seemingly Special, Ostensibly Special, Potentially Special, Conceivably Special Timeworn Maps: four treasure-map types.

FFXIV's universal-glamour change means class-specific Heirloom and Paglth'an pieces apply to any job regardless of role — so a Healer can wear a Heirloom Jacket of Fending if the dye works. This is the first MTT since that change, and it widens the practical use of every class-coded piece in the catalog.

The 10-and-Below Tier: Riding Maps and Triple Triad

The bottom tier is the speed-and-collection tier — fast tomestone-to-utility conversions for completionists.

• Riding Maps at 10 tomestones each for Middle, Lower, Eastern, Western, Upper, and Outer La Noscea — the six La Noscea regions still without unlocked mount speed at this point in the expansion.
• Namazu Card and Kojin Card (Triple Triad) at 10 each.
• Mist Dragon Card, Tioman Card, and Diamond Weapon Card at 7 each — the latter requires completing the Diamond Weapon questline before it can be slotted in a deck.
• Wind-up Succubus minion at 7.
• Hopl's Dropple Orchestrion Roll at 7.
• Abigail Barding at 5 — themed after the Hildibrand quest NPC; turns your chocobo into a maid.
• Magicked Prism (Job Mastery) at 1 — pack of 10 fireworks; lowest-cost item in the catalog.

The Mist Dragon, Tioman, and Diamond Weapon Triple Triad cards round out the dragon-focused subset of the catalog — Tioman in particular is one of the few ways to fill that slot for collectors. (Tiamat is a separate boss and her card is not in this MTT.)

The Strategic Call: Spend Now or Bank Until 8.0

Tomestones stay spendable until Patch 8.0 / Evercold drops in January 2027. That nine-month overhang gives you two real options once Trove closes:

• Spend now on everything you genuinely want — the rewards table doesn't change after event close, and items don't become more expensive.
• Bank tomestones against the next iteration of Trove (typically one cycle per major patch), then combine the banked total with what you earn next event for a single high-cost reward like the Miner's Earring or one of the 50-tomestone mounts.

Either path is valid; the bank-and-stack approach is the better play if you're light on a single high-cost reward you genuinely want. If you're farming dungeons for the weekly objective and want a faster ride to the threshold, our FFXIV dungeon boost options can clear out the dungeon-roulette grind quickly.

What to Spend Tomestones On First

The catalog is large enough that prioritisation matters more than completionism. The three highest-impact spends for most players, in order:

1. Miner's Earring (100): net-new and event-exclusive; the only item that will never return at this price.
2. Emerald Gwiber Trumpet or Ixion Clarion (50 each): returning mounts that were brutal to get the first time.
3. Ironfrog Ambler (30): the lowest-cost mount in the catalog for collectors filling out the mount log.

If you collect glamour rather than mounts, FFXIV glamour services can help track down the Heirloom and Paglth'an pieces across multiple alt jobs without re-clearing the dungeons that originally dropped them.

Frequently Asked Questions

When did Moogle Treasure Trove 2026 run?

The event ran from Tuesday, March 31, 2026 (01:00 PDT / 08:00 UTC) through Tuesday, April 28, 2026, ending at the Patch 7.5 "Trail to the Heavens" launch maintenance window. Tomestones earned during that window stay spendable until Patch 8.0 (Evercold) drops in January 2027 — so unspent currency has a nine-month overhang past event close.

What currency does Moogle Treasure Trove use?

Irregular Tomestones of Aphorism. The "Irregular" prefix is the official naming convention for event currencies and distinguishes them from standard tomestones (Mathematics, Heliometry). Every iteration of MTT uses a differently-themed Irregular Tomestone — the prior cycle was Irregular Tomestones of Revelation; the one before that, Esoterics.

Where are the Itinerant Moogle NPCs?

Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X: 9.4, Y: 11.6), New Gridania (X: 12.4, Y: 12.1), and Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X: 9.6, Y: 9.1). Idyllshire has not been an Itinerant Moogle hub since the Stormblood era; older guides that direct you there are out of date.

Can I earn tomestones from Duty Support or Trust runs?

No. Tomestones do not drop from Duty Support, Adventurer Squadrons, or unrestricted parties without Level Sync. The event explicitly rewards actual party content. Players running max-level alts that out-level the duty must enable Level Sync to qualify.

What's the fastest way to farm tomestones?

Stack the Ultimog Challenge (50, one-time), the weekly objective (20, one random duty per week), and any active Minimog Challenges (10 each) before grinding Standard Objectives. The Main Scenario Roulette pays roughly 4-7 tomestones per clear; Frontline Roulette pays around 4; Ocean Fishing pays 5-10 per round depending on score. A roulette-heavy weekly cadence clears most reward thresholds inside the event window.

Is there an Emerald Carbuncle mount in this Trove?

No. Some guides reference an "Emerald Carbuncle" mount at 50 tomestones — that is not in the catalog. The two 50-tomestone mounts are the Emerald Gwiber Trumpet and the Ixion Clarion. Carbuncle is a Summoner job pet, not a mount sold by the Itinerant Moogle.

How many tomestones do I need for everything in the catalog?

Buying one copy of every reward in the 75-item Mogpendium runs roughly 1,100-1,200 Irregular Tomestones. The realistic single-event ceiling for a casual player is around 500-700 tomestones; completionists usually combine current-event earnings with banked tomestones from prior cycles, since each iteration's currency stays valid until the next major-patch launch.
