Ephemeral Nodes

See also: Folklore Nodes and Aetherial Reduction

Introduction

Collectable items gathered from Ephemeral Nodes are used for Aetherial Reduction. They convert into crystals, clusters, and varying types of aethersand. The type of aethersand you get upon Aetherial Reduction depends on the item you reduce. Each Collectable will only reduce into one kind of aethersand. As for the Crystals and Clusters acquired, they will be the same type as the ones already gatherable from the node.

• Players can unlock Collectables by completing the level 50 quest Inscrutable Tastes.
• Players can unlock Aetherial Reduction by completing the level 56 quest No Longer a Collectable.
• The higher the collectability of the item is, the greater are the chances of getting higher quality and/or quantity of items.
  
• Link to gathering rotation (5.4)

See the tables below for when and where Ephemeral Nodes spawn, as well as which Collectables reduce into which aethersand.
