What do I use the poetics tomes for now?

I own all the Ironworks gear from Moh Dohna so I'm always at 2000/2000 for poetics from doing roulette and what not daily. Just wondering if they are used for anything else later on, or is it just for the items with Auriana? Thanks!

They become useless like soldiery.

K thanks, figured just wanted to check.

Mostly gearing alt jobs for 3.0, 2.0 relic quest and crafting mats, also some minions. You can also trade the poetic gears for grand company seals, so there's that too.

You could always buy poetic gears and desynthesize it, if that's something you do.

Sadly crafting mats got removed from the tome shop in Mor Dhona

Yea, even without having all poetics gear, I don't see the point in the tomestones. Without the Carbontwine and Carboncoats to upgrade everything, there's no point in buying the Ironworks gear since you can literally buy equips from the NPC vendors in Ishgard that are only slightly worse, and after two levels, are better. Because of this Poetic tomestones have become even more worthless than Soldiery were, since Weathered gear was at least a good upgrade, (and really the best gear before you got WoD/Ironworks gear), compared to the best gear you could buy at the time, and all the "better" gear required quite a bit of grinding and praying to the RNG for your drop. As is, there's no use for Poetics post lvl 52 unless you're back using them for maps for alexes for a relic weapon.....

You could buy some equip for desynthesis :)

You can still do the 3 raid repeatable quest for the choice of carbontwine or carboncoats.
