How about a use for...
There is a use: undead runes and undead slaying/defense potions and sigils. yet no one is willing to spend crystalline dust with the T6 putrid to make the best potions hence t 5 being 4 s each for the second best. The sup runes use ectos and the putrid T6, but ectos are easy to come by.

I think ANet could probably come up with some fun additional uses, as the recipes that currently include the essences are very limited.
If there is any comparison value in the bank placement of these items, then they should have the equivalent value to a Lodestone. That’s clearly not the case currently.
Correction: T4 and t5, not t5 and t6. Like lodestones, they only have 5 tiers not 6.
