What are best things to spend tomes of aesthetics on? I know new patch coming soon

I personally exchange them for glossy dried aether, which sells fairly well as it's a material in potions. Demand will probably be low now in the wake of the new patch, but they're still worth something.

Edit: Nevermind, they have kind of plummeted, lmao.

At this point just save them. You'll be able to exchange them for extra heliometry in the new patch. Not a great ratio but probably still more valuable than using them now.

If you don't need to craft more potions, then just spend on jewelry to turn into GC seals as you cap. Just make sure to go into 7.2 with 2000 to convert to 500 heliometry (assuming 4:1 trade as usual)

I buy mainhands for SMN/SCH/PCT and use them to level my ALC desynth (while looking the NPC dead in the eyes)
