Aetherial Dust

I dont do all the daily quests or try to find certain things. I was randomly running and killed a pesky menial monster and it dropped the dust. Didnt realize it would sell for over a million. was in Grahtwood

Been playing on and off since 2015. >60 days play time on my main, and I do tons of harvesting. It's compulsive for me. More often than not, if I see a node, I stop to grab it. Needless to say, I progress very slowly in this game. Despite all my OCD harvesting, I have never seen an aetherial dust. I had no idea they even dropped from nodes until reading it just now.

That is quite the time bump. I'm up to 12 now in my craft bag and still have no use for them. But I'm guildless so selling them is rather difficult. Also have a Cipher I like to get rid of too.

One since Summerset which was when I started playing.

I was told that they only drop in base game zones, and that is where I found the few I've gotten over the years.

I got 3 since I started playing 3.5 years ago, and just now after reading this thread, I asked myself why I was keeping them, since the cost of them far outweighs any benefit I could get from something crafted with them, so I listed them with a trader a few hours ago, and all 3 sold (so I guess I chose the right selling price). A nice boost to my gold balance.

I think about 20 odd, after that i bought them at a decent price and sold psygic pots, then after the price doubled for dust i stopped not worth it economically.

I found one in a water node in a Public Dungeon from the base game zone. While waiting for the group boss to spawn I was picking up everything.

I think I’ve found 3 since I started playing in 2019. The first I remember finding was from an rune node in Cyrodiil while I was trying to find the lead for the Sorcerer-King’s Blade. I thought it some consolation for not getting the lead that day, and then I saw the going rate and was happier.

I believe in all my time playing (I started just before DB dropped, March 1st but I forgot the year), I myself only ever found two of them, and never even realized it. It was when I was going through my craft bag did I notice. Took a screenshot of them for myself and sold one? Both? Of them off since I had no need for then.

To be fair though, I don't really remember the last time I did a proper harvest run in a base game zone. Eventually I had moved to Craglorn for the Nirncrux, but then moved to doing my harvest runs in Cyrodiil to also try and find the Torte recipe book.

I've only ever personally harvested Aetherial Dust one time in all of my years of playing, and it was from a mushroom node inside of Bone Snap Ruins. Go figure.

i have pulled a total of three and i have been playing since day one.

i got a few as rewards during jubilee.

5 found but I am usually lucky with Anniversary Boxes, of those 5, 4 dropped in Rivenspire!

lillybit

I've used a few but I think I've found 15 or so in total since they were introduced. I may have a minor master writ addiction tho, so farm mats a fair bit

I have been playing ESO since release on console and I have only found 3. I have only found one from an ore node. The other two dropped from a jubilee container two years in a row. My wife, on the other hand, thought she would try the game out and the very first node she harvested was a cloth node. She plucked the jute and she got it. She was asking what it was and I told her, “you don’t have to play anymore because you just beat the game.” After some good laughs I told her how lucky she was that she had found one so soon on a character just out of the tutorial quest. I would say it’s super rare and the RNGods hate me.
