What should I spend Karma on?
give it to me i will spend it then give it back to you i “promised”
I would hang on to it. I ran into the same thing when I couldn’t find places to spend it, then they nerfed karma and I just hang onto it now.

You can buy backpieces for karma, but none of them are visible. Most of the visible back pieces are from the Living Story or fractals, but there are some skins (Ex: Holo Wings, Desert Rose, etc.) that you can buy on the trading post and apply to non-visible back items you can get for karma. The skins are not especially cheap, since there’s a limited supply, but it’s an option.
Most of my karma I’m hanging on to, in case I ever find myself in the position of wanting / being able to afford to build a legendary weapon. A large stock of karma also comes in handy for crafting ascended weapons, for Obsidian Shards.
Speaking of crafting, you need karma to buy exotic crafting recipes, although it doesn’t take a ton.
If all else fails, Lost Orrian Jewelry Boxes are an option for converting karma into materials, coin, and a few odds and ends. I think I’d sooner hang onto the karma, though, unless I’m really impatient for money.

It takes around 1 million karma to create a legendary weapon so you might want to hang on to it if you ever decide to make one.
I don’t believe you can get a visible back piece from karma. There are vendors located in Orr which sell Orrian Jewelry Boxes that you can use to convert karma to gold and the Temple vendors in Orr sell exotic armors of various stat combinations. You can always use it for cooking mats as well if you have cooking.
