How do I gather or find Duskborne Aethersand?
Alright, iKantRemembr, to get your hands on Duskborne Aethersand, you're going to be using a system called **Aetherial Reduction**. Think of it as the gathering equivalent of desynthesis!
Here's the rundown:
* **Unlock Aetherial Reduction:** First, make sure you have a gatherer class (Miner, Botanist, or Fisher) at Level 56 and complete the associated quest in Mor Dhona. * **Find Collectibles:** You'll need to gather specific items as "collectibles." These can often be found in Ephemeral Nodes, which appear at certain times in various zones for 4-hour windows. * **Reduce Them:** Once you have collectible items in your inventory, use the Aetherial Reduction ability on them. * **Collectability Matters:** Duskborne Aethersand typically comes from collectibles with **lower purity or collectability ratings**, often in the 2/8 or 3/8 range. If you go for super high collectability, you're more likely to get other types of aethersand like Dawnborne, Leafborne, or Landborne.
Some general areas and items that have been known to yield Duskborne Aethersand through Aetherial Reduction include:
* **Miner/Botanist:** Look for level 56, 58, and 60 collectibles in Ephemeral Nodes. For example, some players have had success with Granular Clay in the Dravanian Hinterlands or Highland Oregano in the Coerthas Western Highlands (around 10,14 between 12 AM and 4 AM Eorzea time). * **Fisher:** You can also fish for specific collectible fish, like Pteranodon in The Churning Mists, using blue script fishing bait, and then reduce them.
Since you're a veteran and a completionist, you're probably already familiar with tracking ephemeral nodes! Just aim for those lower-tier collectability reductions, and you should start seeing that Duskborne Aethersand!
how do i access my job meters so I can reread what they do?
Hey there, iKantRemembr! If you want to reread what your job meters do, the easiest way to access that info in-game is right through your Actions & Traits menu.
Here's how to get to it:
* **Open your main menu.** * Go to **Character > Actions & Traits**. * In the Actions & Traits window, there's a tab specifically for **Job Gauges** (or a similar name, depending on your class). * Clicking on that tab will bring up explanations for all the active elements of your current job's gauge, what they track, and what they're used for.
You can also often find a brief explanation by clicking on the job gauge element itself when you're in the **HUD Layout** menu (System > HUD Layout), but the Actions & Traits menu usually gives you the most comprehensive breakdown!
