Poetics post Heavensward

This might seem small compared to other issues but after Heavensward's release, we have a situation where we have more Poetics tomestones than we know what to do with. Compounding this, it is getting much more difficult to spend them on weapons due to the almost astonishing decrease in CT and Coil groups, which has the Encrypted Tomestones and Carbontwine/-coat. The Augmented Ironworks weapons are good enough to get people through about 5 levels, which may explain why SE has done nothing to address this issue.

It would be good, though, if these items could be purchased with Poetics now that Coil and CT have become ghost towns.

Yes please make carbon-twine/carbon-coat/and the wep tomestone purchasable with poetics! for someone who plays all jobs gearing them post lvl 52 is annoying
(you either spend money on crafted gear, or grind a dungy for gear and pray for good rng, not to mention not having i130 lvl 50 gear really slows you down inside the dungys for lvls 50-55)

Just my opinions feel free to disagree.

I spend my Poetics on Ironworks gear to desynth. :)

I think poetics are mainly left there for those who haven't bought the expac.

Bumped.

/10characters.

You can buy law gear upgrade items with law, yet poetic still needs hunts and coil? I support this.

I agree I think they also should let Poetics be exchanged for Law where the Law vendors are at. Or maybe Esoterics at a lower rate or something.
Now that I have i120-130 for my other jobs it just sits there in my currency list capped.

These items probably won't be changed, because they are the final tier of tome-gear for players who refuse to get Heavensward.

Er, you don't need Heavensward to buy the crafted gear off MB.

Depends on the content you're running.
This game week that just passed I only did Seize + Alexander normal, and a few roulettes here and there to level alt classes, and some C Rank hunts.
0 Poetics from all that.

Although I do like your suggestion of being able to buy Encrypt/Twine/Coat with tomes... It only makes sense now that we can do such things with Law gear.

I hoped we HW-user could exchange poetics to law tomes >.>
My Poetics are capped at 2000 since weeks! There is no use for them!

I've been blowing through poetics as fast as I get them for desynth leveling and relic weapon parts. I wish they would add the 100-110 soldiery gear back in for poetics as well, because it's a pain getting desynth up that bump between ilevel 90 and ilevel 115 gear. Currently the only way to get soldiery gear is farming GC hunt seals. Yuck.

I support this. I started playing 9 days ago and I should have the best gear pre heavensward with no effort whatsoever. Oh wait.

I was under the impression non-HW players couldn't level past 50, and all of the new jobs and job actions are gated behind Heavensward? If so, doesn't that make buying crafted gear off MB completely useless? As in, the only crafted gear they could buy(wear) is level 50 (i115) as opposed to ironworks i120/i130. The rest of the crafted gear is level 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60.

I just used the poetic belts for this. It was a low % but one success got more than half a point at a time. Although I am still struggling with bsm. Got a lot of summoning bells to make.
