Fisher and Aetherial Reducution

Hello fellow fishermen!

I checked the forums but could not find any thread according to what was on my mind.

After doing a little research i found out that the fisher apperently cannot obtain items to use Aetherial Reduction on.
If its really the case then i wanna congratulate SE!
Ok, we got a handfull of abiltys using GP, right. WE got new fishing logs that include what....3-5 fish and so far it seems not even one big fish was added...and now we have not even any chance in obtaining Aethersands?
I hope someone out there can tell me it's not true...but if it is it's very very sad!

have a good day!

You CAN obtain aethersands through fishing.

pteradactyls can be aetherial reduced.. need to mooch sky fairies in churning mists or somethin like that to catch them..

I'm finding that phrase a lot funnier than it should be. I also can't stop imagining Dr. Grant kicking pterodactyls into aether shards.

I was pretty sure you could...
Since Miner can only get two elements (fire and lightning), I was guessing Botanist can only get two elements as well, with Fisher getting two...
And Aethersands being a byproduct... well... yeah.

Is this the only fish we know of? I just unlocked Aetherial Reduction, and I'm pretty disappointed by the fact that we can't use it on anything I've found so far......

only 1 ive heard of yeah.. pretty sure its mooched from somethin in churning mists :3 saw it mentioned in DoL sub forum

Here is a screenshot of Pteradon caught (nonhq) but is already grade 8/8

So far on my List of Useful Fish have found 4 fish that are able to be broken down - Manasail, Pteranodon, Caiman and Tupaxuara. The trend is that none of those 4 fish are turn ins for blue scripts. I have a theory that they may be turn ins for red scripts, so I’ve been keeping my highest collectability ones and only breaking down the lower ones.

I have not caught sufficient numbers of them to do much testing as to the collectability rating compared to the purity of the Aetherial Reducution. I have caught about half a dozen Manasails and breaking down the lower collectible ones have given me only Ice Crystals and Clusters. A friend has gotten Dawn & Duskborne Aethersands from some Tupaxuaras.

That said, it's only 4 fish so far and that's not a lot

There's something inherently disturbing about taking a whole, sometimes several meter long living creature and turning it into a mass of crystals and clusters. At least botanists only take bits of plants. Are Fishers the Real Monsters?
