Aetherial Reduction
- See also: Ephemeral Nodes
Aetherial Reduction is a general action that allows the player to break down Collectable Items into Crystals, Clusters and random rare materials. As of 3.0, there are 3 different levels of items that can be reduced, and what yields is based on the purity of 1-8. The higher the purity, the higher chance for it to yield rare items, such as Duskborne Aethersand. There are special types of Aethersand for Miner, Botanist, and Fisher, being Landborne, Leafborne, and Seaborne respectively. Purity level does not appear to affect the total yield, just the chance. If a HQ item would be produced, it appears to only yield it in quantities of 1. HQ yield does not appear to be possible below purity level 5.
