We need a way to spend the various mist essence.

I reckon that most players who run T4 fractals on a regular basis would have an overabundance of Shards of Crystallized Mist Essence. With a negligible demand for the item, only needing 1 to infuse any ascended back piece or ring, I would very much like to see a better way we could spend these. Maybe not in huge lump sums, but in small amounts, adding in a new tab on one of the merchant golems to convert them into fractal relics at a comparable conversion rate to what it costs to buy them. Otherwise you'll eventually end up with too many mist essence, especially since the changes allowed the vials and globs to drop from the higher fractal levels.

I'd like them to be used in food crafting (account bound food) that are just alternatives to commonly used foods but make them a fractal only variant (like the potions).

would be cool to get a meaningful sink. just recently i hit a stack of the shard essences :+1:

When they talked about fractal currency sinks I expected more of the account bound elements being spent (shards, globs, golden relics, etc), instead they went ham on the gold heavy elements
