}} Aetherial Reduction allows the player to break down specific [[Collectables]] {{collectable}} into [[Crystal]]s, [[Crystal|Cluster]]s and rare [[materials]] called aethersand. The higher the collectability, the higher chance for it to yield aethersand. The specific kind of aethersand produced is fixed for a given [[Aetherial Reduction#Aethersand Items|collectable]]. As of [[Patch 5.4]], hitting the max collectability of 1000 ''guarantees some amount of aethersand'', with a potential for a bonus quantity. There are types of aethersand exclusive to [[Miner]], [[Botanist]], and [[Fisher]], the first examples being {{item icon|Landborne Aethersand|x}} [[Landborne Aethersand|Landborne]], {{item icon|Leafborne Aethersand|x}} [[Leafborne Aethersand|Leafborne]], and {{item icon|Seaborne Aethersand|x}} [[Seaborne Aethersand|Seaborne]]. Aethersand is only used in [[Endgame Gear Guide|endgame crafts]] from the [[Master Recipe Tomes]]. Additionally, [[Endwalker]] has added [[Prime Collectables]] that yield materials exclusively used in recipes from [[File:Island Sanctuary icon.png|link=Island Sanctuary|20px]] [[Island Sanctuary]].

Beginning with [[Stormblood]] items, the different kinds of aethersand can also be purchased from the [[Scrip Exchange]] with Gatherers' [[Scrips|Scrip]].

==Unlock==
Complete the level 56 [[quest]] {{questlink|feature|No Longer a Collectable}} by speaking to [[Lydirlona]] in [[Mor Dhona]] (X:22.3, Y:6.8). Player must be a level 56 or higher [[Disciple of Land]].

'''Description'''

It is believed that in the basin's pristine depths, the currents churned by Ku'uxage's falls transform themselves into aether-rich wavekin. Thus does the purple palate surely share the refined tastes of its Ku'uxage parent-waters' grand "tongue."
