— In-game description

Aetherial Reduction is an action unlocked by questing at level 56. It is available for any class or job. Aetherial Reduction allows the player to break down specific Collectables Collectable into Crystals, Clusters and rare materials called aethersand. The higher the collectability, the higher chance for it to yield aethersand. As of Patch 5.4, hitting the max collectability of 1000 guarantees aethersand, with a potential bonus amount. There are special types of aethersand exclusive to Miner, Botanist, and Fisher, the first examples being Landborne aethersand icon1.png  Landborne, Leafborne aethersand icon1.png  Leafborne, and Seaborne aethersand icon1.png  Seaborne. Aethersand is exclusively used in endgame crafts from the Master Recipe Tomes.

Beginning with Stormblood items, the different kinds of aethersand can also be purchased from the Scrip Exchange with Gatherers' Scrip. Additionally, Endwalker has added Prime Collectables that yield materials other than aethersand.

Unlock

Complete the level 56 quest Feature QuestNo 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.
