Similar to every other Final Fantasy XIV expansion, the Mythbrine Aethersand is a brand-new Aethersand that is very useful for crafting. You cannot just go harvest Mythbrine Aethrsand from a gathering node, in contrast to other crafting supplies. This is the optimal method for obtaining Mythbrine Aethersand in the Dawntrail of Final Fantasy XIV.
How to get and cultivate Aethersand Mythbrine
Cleyran Carp or Longnose Gar are the two things you must perform the Aetherial Reduction Action on in order to get Mythbrine Aethersand in FFXIV. These two products are made of resources that were acquired via fishing. The most expedient and effective method is to get Longnose Gar via spearfishing, after which you may use the Aetherial Reduction action to break it down into Mythbrine Aethersand. You may get more Mythbrine Aethersand from each Longnose Gar you break down in proportion to the size of the fish.
In Lake Toari, which is in the northeastern part of the Shaaloani zone, you may fish up Longnose Gar. Travel northeast to the Mehwahhetsoan Aether Current in Shaaloani, and then east to the northern portion of Lake Toari. Once you're here, grab your spearfishing gear, go under Lake Toari's surface, and search for Level 100 Teeming Waters. The Spearfishing UI will appear when you interact with the fishing site. Before engaging with the Teeming Waters, make sure you have activated Collect as you will need collectible Longnose Gar in order to utilize Aetherial Reduction on them.
At this point, I suggest using your Nature's Bounty Action to boost the size of the fish you capture, which might result in extra Mythbrine Aethersand. You want to search for the Large Shadow swimming quickly on the Spearfishing screen, as that's where the Longnose Gar is hiding. Regretfully, in terms of speed, the Large Midnight Carp may sometimes resemble the Longnose Gar, but you'll eventually get acclimated to the differences.
The following three locations in Lake Toari allow one to spearfish Longnose Gar in order to transform it into Mythbrine Aethersand:
- (X: 32.3 , Y: 9.6) – Lv100 Teeming Waters in Lake Toari in Shaaloani.
- (X: 33.0, Y: 12.8) – Lv100 Teeming Waters in Lake Toari in Shaaloani.
- (X: 30.1 , Y: 11.5) – Lv100 Teeming Waters in Lake Toari in Shaaloani.
Simply apply Aetherial Reduction to every Longnose Gar you catch to have a chance of getting Mythbrine Aethersand on each try.
Acquire using Orange Gatherer's Scrip
There are other solutions available to you if you're in a hurry and need some rapid Mythbrine Aethersand. You may exchange 200 Orange Gatherers' Scrip for a Mythbrine Aethersand, provided that you have unlocked Scrip Exchange merchants. This exchange rate is obviously not ideal, since 200 Orange Gatherers' Scrip may often be better used for something more worthwhile, particularly considering that it may take longer to get enough Scrip for the trade than if you were to only go spearfishing using the previously mentioned approach. Nevertheless, it might be a fast and simple approach to get some Mythbrine Aethersand if you just need a little amount.
