{Stormblood} A Quick Guide to Aetherial Reduction [Rough Draft]

[bluewindangel]

Much like Heavensward before it, Stormblood has given gatherers new Ephemeral nodes to gather from. Although some of the mats used from these are required for some crafts, most of the time the only use for items from ephemeral nodes is for Aetherial Reduction. Aetherial Reduction, in many ways, is like a desynthesis system for gatherers. Lower purity items will only grant you elemental crystals and clusters, but gaining the maximum purity has a chance of yielding special aethersands that are used for certain high level crafts.
