Aetherial sands

Hello all,

I have a question about Aetherial sands. How the heck do you get those ? I mean I have a skill that technically allows me to do so on collectible from what it says but ..it never works or I miss something .

Can someone tell me how that works please ?

thank you so much for all the help

Which sands are you trying to get dusk, dawn, or land/leaf.sea? Advice changes a little for each.

But for aiming for the top tier (land/leaf/sea) which often still yield dawn instead I do.

1. Go to the ephemeral node
2. Make sure collectible is on
3. If neither hidden item is there, just meth, meth, meth collect no GP used. Respawn node
4. If a hidden item: I.imgur.com/r20AcgT.png

omg..this is the first time I see this..FINALLY I can do something about this stuff. Thank you soo much !! !

I use meth once then collect 3x. Instead of getting ~20 crystals and ~20 clusters, you end up with ~60 crystals. There's also zero chance of getting that worthless dusk sand.

Dusk sand has a few uses. I mean, I still sell it for a good price so it must, right?

Dusk is under 1k each on my server, and I got about 5 for every dawn when I gathered your way. A pile of crystals is worth about as much, and saves me the hassle of the MB.

Right there with you^^^ I tend to send my retainers out because I just can't pull myself to farm shards with my game time xD. This and carbonized matter are my debate points as to why we need gillseller bots. I wont buy your gil, but thank you for selling cheap shards on my MB

I use this link whenever I forget the exact rotations for specific sands (usually dusk and dawnborne)
