The problem is the dust is a a rare-ish drop from very high level mobs. Headrip Ogre (r85-89)
Someone on YG was also able to confirm a rumor I'd heard.
* Goblin Headman (r90-99) (I think it actually required a full party of 15 r50s to zombie kill it).
I don't get why this drops from such high rank mobs when it's main use is for rank 40-50 equipment. It definitely should be changed, or the red lense recipe needs changing so that gold dust can be used in the future on higher content.
Why don't they add electrum dust that ALC can make from electrum nuggets for example?

I think with all the chaos they just forgot to add the gold dust synth. Alchemists were already making mints at that time people were starting to look for gold dust, so the devs may have been hesitant to add it. Alchys would have probably taken the high price of gold, then doubled it or tripled it for gold dust synthing and walked away with ridiculously broken profits off the bubble economy. making even bubble weavers look like monkeys shaking hands for a dollar.
But now we kindof need a gold dust synth now that the bubble's burst.
This is a joke. There is NO gold dust yet and NO way to get it. Otherwise the people that claim they have seen it or have it or have made it would have proof. A screenshot, a material recipe. Dont waste your time.

I have a silver alembic which requires a red lens I bought said lens for 800k and had someone in my ls make the alembic. I've also seen one gold dust in the wards for like 4 mil.
Some of our shell's gone out to test. Will confirm or deny within a few days.
Would be funny if it were a myth like GVII mining nodes.
My friend saw one in February!
It definitely exists. There's a red lense for sale on our server Peregrine! Some lucky bugger has been making a killing on these for weeks now selling them at a million per lense. I believe our LS ALC has a silver alembic +1 too after purchasing one. They can be turned into glasses too but I'm not paying a million to make an item that would be lucky to sell for half that.
I believe the goblin headman theory, but it's difficult to test since the party cap was reduced to 8. It's even harder to zerg kill these rank 90 mobs now.
