What do I do with my Karma
Karma is tough to come by these days. Unless you run across something you really want save it. You may want it for a legendary or something else you may need it for some day. Who knows if precursor crafting ever comes about you may need it for that.
The Burninator
If you plan to get a legendary or do ascended crafting you will need it then. And it doesn’t come in as fast as it used to.
You can exchange it for heavy orrian lockboxes in cursed shore, first outpost to the right, then open the lockboxes which contain random lodestones and trash items that can be sold for a decent profit.
Are you Shpongled?
It depends what you want to do.
A legendary takes roughly 1 mil karma. (base Obsidian Shard x250 for 525,000 karma and then another estimated 231 Obsidian Shards for 485,100 karma for the 77 mystic clovers needed)
An ascended weapon takes far less (30 Obsidian Shards for the vision crystal for 63,000 karma and I think ~21k for the recipe)
You’ve said you don’t care about temple armor (though if you ever level up an alt, that’s a decent first set of exotic for them if you want).
The only other way to spend karma is Orrian boxes as Shpongle suggests. I’ve only done that once (before the karma nerf hit) and I think I spent roughly 9 million karma on Orrian boxes (I think it was 2,000-2,300 boxes) I don’t remember exactly how much of everything I got but there was a good chunk of gold (just guessing but maybe 10-20) from just selling the vendor trash, about 10-15 of each lodestone, 15-20 putrid essences, some of the infinite potions (which are worth <1s on the tp), and a couple copies of the mini. I suggest using an old mouse though…..
Honestly, while karma is harder to get. If I remember, they only changed the daily/monthly rewards (which got hit hard) and failed events. Personally I can still make ~0.5 mil karma in a couple months. I mean since the September 3rd patch I’ve still made 600k-700k (maybe 100k more) karma just doing the things I normally do.
Though you may want to keep some karma for when ascended armor comes up (should be by the end of the year) and also possibly for precursor crafting (some items related to it were just data mined but no one knows what/when it will be).

That depends on what you use as the starting point for the changes. Karma from dungeon completion was also removed and the drop rate for karma from champion boxes were greatly reduced.
