These two changes have increased the ease and reduced the time it takes to collect the aethersands, making it less of a chore and more like any other material gathering. This window looks intimidating, but all the information you need to know about it is provided to you when you click the question mark in the bottom left corner of the screen. It will now open a new UI window for the collectible gathering. When you start to gather on a collectible item. The second change they did is with the Collectable gathering. Below you will find a map with all the locations marked for BTN and MIN as well as their exact coordinates in-game. A new one will appear after one has been harvested. You only need to go one by one to the new Ephemeral Nodes. There are now three and they do not require you to hit normal gathering nodes before it resets. There is no longer just one per area to gather. The first part of the change is with the Ephemeral Nodes. This change may seem annoying at first due to the location change of the Ephemeral Nodes, but is a very welcome change that makes the collecting and aetherial reduction a lot easier to manage. This change has also affected how we gather Levinstrike Aethersands, needed for high end crafting recipes.
#FF14 EPHEMERAL NODES PATCH#
This example here shows that lower collectible value results in less rarity and the amount of the items acquired.Since patch 5.4 Square Enix changed the way we gather collectibles. Results:14 lightning crystals are obtained.
#FF14 EPHEMERAL NODES FREE#
well you get the idea.(based on my assumption, feel free to correct it)Īetherial Reduction used at: 9.00 pm Eorzea time A handful of duskborne aethersand is obtained.įrom this particular result, i came to this assumption that the time of the day effects the variety of Aethersand acquired via Aetherial Reduction. Results:28 lightning crystals are obtained. Now I will share some of my recent experiments.Īetherial Reduction used at: 8.50 pm Eorzea time After exhausting the node for the first time, they can be mine several times in the same timeline again by touching other 2 Mineral/Mining Deposits till Ephemeral Node appears. And caution, you will get less gathering attempts on these nodes, which is 4 attempt in total.(Based on my experience)įor people who are curious of the locations of Ephemeral Node, you can find it hereĪlright, We’ve downed the part about where to go and which node to mine to get our collectible item. They’re on timer,you can only get it between certain hours. These are new kind of nodes that behaves just like Unspoiled Nodes. To use this action Gatherers must first find an Ephemeral Node. But you won’t be able to use Aetherial Reduction action on these items. We gatherers who are level 50-60 all know that we can use Unspoiled Nodes to get collectible items that can be exchange with scripts. For DoL to use Aetherial Reduction item should meet 2 conditionsĬondition 1: Item should be gathered as collectible by using Collector’s Glove action.Ĭondition 2: This is the part where people gets confused the most. But unlike Desynthesis, you can NOT reduce any item you want to its core. Let Get This Party Started! Aetherial Reduction action acts similar to Desynthesis action of DoH. But before that I would like to explain how Aetherial Reduction works. Here I’d like to share my experiments and hear from yours. I’ve seen many short lived threads about Aetherial Reduction and seen that people have many questions about it. FFXIV Aetherial Reduction Guide by PopotoSoup
