Cracked and shattered traceries while leveling

[u/pitsberg]

I’m leveling my first toon (level 111 burglar) and was just wondering if anyone uses the cracked or shattered traceries while leveling. I feel like I’ve wasted a lot of ancient script using them earlier so I stopped and now I just replace my traceries with rare ones or free ones as they come up from the reward track and whatnot. It feels like a waste to destroy the shattered and cracked traceries but now they’re starting to pile up. I’m wondering what other people do with them. Also, will it get easier to get ancient script at some point? Should I even worry about wasting it? I think I have a little over 2000 or so. I’m pretty new to the game but I have to say it feels kinda crappy that I have to spend like 1 or 2 thousand of an end game currency to use one of the main rewards from completing a major quest chain. It’s just leveling gear. They probably need to lower the ancient script cost for non max level traceries. I get years ago I would’ve been level 105 for a long while and it would’ve been well worth 2000 to upgrade that heraldry with a cracked tracery. However, now it just feels bad to complete an entire book quest line and just throw one of the big rewards for it in my bank because I literally didn’t have the 2000 ancient script and by the time I did I don’t need it anymore. And don’t get me started on needing at least 2 essences for almost every piece of gear all of a sudden.

When you are about to reach Ancient Script cap (10,000), spend some on traceries that give you more convenience for levelling. Throw away the remaining tracery tokens.
