    Auridon, grabbing a node by the anchor I was there for. Coldharbour on an alchemy node by the clothing survey I was doing. Cyrodiil on a silk node I grabbed while running away from Roe.

    It’s crazy some have found 3, another have found 6/7. I feel I definitely should have found one with the amount of farming I do.

    Anyone ever have one drop from a survey?

    I've gotten ONE aetherial dust ever. And it was in a treasure chest in bal foyen on my random low level farming alt....

    In a chest? Are you sure? I thought only from nodes. Interesting if correct.

    It was definitely from a chest, I actually thought they only came from chests because of that incident... It was probably like a year ago though. I don't know if the timeline matters, but yeah...

    You mean people actually find the Dust?

    I am a farming fool and have yet to see this. The only thing I farm more of is mobs and I have yet to get a Cypher either.

    I've found 3 and I barely even farm. In fact, none of the 3 were from when I was farming anyways.

    All 3 were just from grabbing nodes in between questing or whatever. One was in Rivenspire for sure, one was in Bleakrock iirc. I forget where my first one came from (Alik'r maybe?), but I'll always remember the context. It was the very first day they were introduced to the game, and I hadn't been keeping up with the patch notes so I had no idea what it was. I asked around in game and got no answers, so I sold it in zone chat for 20k thinking it was similar rarity to potent nirncrux. I later found out that people were selling them on day 1 for up to 1 mil gold... I sure did feel stupid after that.

      Absolutely no idea.

      I didn't even know I had one until I noticed it in my craft bag one day. Perhaps a pixie truly did place it there?

      I have two.

      I spent quite a few hours "farming" these when the first dropped in the game. That resulted in me getting zero.

      So I gave up.

      A guildie was saying they wouldn't sleep until they got the cipher and a dust. I never did find out whether they survived.

      The first one I got was from a flower node near Tarlain Heights dolmen. With a lady's smock. About a year ago. On a Thursday. Not that it was memorable or anything.

      The second was from a ore node in Reapers.

      I am happy with two so I have given up again.

      There is definitely something about starter zones or new characters about it. The first one I got was on the alchemy node next to the Dalmora wayshrine in Bal Foyen. Saw a flower, made a detour, got a dust. I got another some time later, don't recall where.

      However, on my NA account which had only a handful of hours on it, was looking for some flowers for my first daily writ, bam. Dust found in Bal Foyen.

      Never found one.
      To add to this, I find that the trophies needed for the in game achievements drop frequently on low level chars, but I rarely get them on my main. So possibly it could be the same with atherial dust and the cypher.

      TBH, I was farming in Vvardenfell when I discovererd it in my craft bag but it could have been there from before Vvardenfell so I'm not 100% certain where it came from. I thought Vvardenfell but if they don't drop there, then it must have been from somewhere else.
