Tomes of Regional Folklore

See also: Folklore Nodes

Tomes of Regional Folklore is a system for Gathering classes first implemented in Heavensward. These tomes grant access to additional, otherwise-hidden nodes to gather materials for endgame crafting. They are acquired either directly with White Gatherers' Scrip at a Scrip Exchange, or indirectly with expansion-specific Folklore tokens at the Splendors Vendor in the respective expansion's endgame hub city. The costs are the same with either route, but you cannot mix currencies on the same tome. It must be either all scrip or all tokens. Endwalker tomes can only be bought via token exchange due to the high cost in scrip.

• Heavensward (3.0):  125 or 5   Blue Gatherers' Scrip Token each for 9 tomes total (1 for each Heavensward region and gatherer class). These tomes contain items for level 60.
• Stormblood (4.0):  250 or 50   Regional Folklore Trader's Token A each for 6 tomes total (1 for each Stormblood region and gatherer class). These tomes contain items for level 70.
• Shadowbringers (5.0):  400 or 40   Regional Folklore Trader's Token B each for 3 tomes total (1 for each gatherer class). These tomes contain items for level 80.
• Endwalker (6.0): 16   Regional Folklore Trader's Token C ( 1,600) each for 9 new tomes total (1 for each Endwalker region and gatherer class). These new tomes contain items for level 90.

For Botanist and Miner, using a tome of regional folklore will allow you to discover previously hidden gathering points. Bear in mind that these gathering points are only available at certain times of the in-game day.

After the collectable changes in patch 5.4, there are no collectables on the folklore nodes. Collectables have all been consolidated to the Unspoiled Nodes.

For Fisher, using a tome of regional folklore will allow you to discover hidden fishing holes and rare fish (often Big Fish) that are otherwise unobtainable.
