Soldiery Tomes: What to buy?

[Caoihmin]

I have purchased all the weathered gear/accessories I need, and the interim weapon with Rowena's tokens, and have to wait until I rank up in Flames before I can continue my 3rd relic book. Problem is, I have nothing I can see to spend my soldiery tomes on.

Any suggestions? Maybe something I can purchase now that I will need for later quests? I can't get Sacred Spring Water yet, I'm not that far along in the zodiac quest line.

By the mats and sell them for gil. Easy gil since you got nothing else to spend them on.

id still get it whilst soldiery is hot dropping. 1.6k prior was a pain so get them while you can!
you'll also need superior enchanted ink, 3 of them infact for a novus scroll.

I do this with my unneeded soldy tomes: Gearing up retainers, buying these mats as a payment in case I need a crafter for +3star stuff o; Or I just gift them to my friend o:

Either crafting mats or if you plan on doing other relics, can start getting the oils/mists/inks.

Or if you are interested in the 100/110 soldiery weapon for glamour or just to use (though I would just farm Shiva).

Thanks guys! By "mats" you are referring to the ones that Auriana (sp?) sells? The NPC who sells the weathered gear?

Borax
Arachne Web
Wootz Ore
Raziqsap
Dubbin
Smoked Bacon
Roasted Coffee Beans

I've had too much other stuff to spend my tomes on to do any research as to which of these sells well, but at a guess I'd say Arachne Webs are probably a good buy since Arachne gear is very popular for glamour. Raziqsap may sell well, as well, now that Platinum accessories are available for folks who want to min-max stats for raids. Don't just take me at my word, though - check the boards and see what sells well! Probably good to diversify, too; buying up a hundred webs and dumping them on the market all at once is a great way to see prices on those mats drop like a rock...

If you work on a relic:

3 * Superior Enchanted Ink
4 * Sacred Spring Water

I think you have to finish the Animus weapon first before you can also start to buy Mysterious Maps for Alexandrites.
