With the addition of the new Anima Specialist Recipes there has be a resurgence of gathering for Dawnborne Aethersand. I had made a blog in the past for Aetherial Reduction and you can use that guide to help get the most of Ephemeral Nodes. Here are the list of locations and time:

Botanist:

12am - 4am - Coerthas Western Highlands - 10x / 14y - lv 60 Clary Sage
4am - 8am - The Dravanian Hinterlands - 13x / 19y - lv 60 Black Soil
8am - 12pm - The Dravanian Forelands - 10x / 32y - lv 60 Black Soil
4pm - 8pm - The Churning Mists - 19x / 29y - lv 60 Black Soil
8pm - 12am - The Sea of Clouds - 26x / 35y - lv 60 Clary Sage

Miner:

4am - 8am - The Dravanian Forelands - 17x / 27y - lv 60 Radiant Fire Moraine
8am - 12pm - The Dravanian Hinterlands - 26x / 24y - lv 60 Radiant Fire Moraine
12pm - 4pm - The Churning Mists - 29x / 19y - lv 60 Radiant Fire Moraine
4pm - 8pm - The Sea of Clouds - 34x / 30y - lv 60 Radiant Lightning Moraine
8pm - 12am - Coerthas Western Highlands - 21x / 28y - lv 60 Radiant Lightning Moraine

Since the rotations I apply use 650 GP, I like to reset the node so that I am always collecting lv 60 materials to reduce. I also bring plenty of Cordials in case those lv 60's spawn often. To reset the node all you have to do is initiate gathering at 2 of 3 pairs of surrounding lv 60 nodes. You don't have to actually collect any items, just start and then back out and head back to the Ephemeral Node.

For Dawnborne Aethersand you can use the same rotation for gathering Red Scrip Collectables.

Methodical Appraisal

If any of the Impulsive Appraisals proc a Discerning Eye, then replace the Discerning Eye with a Single Mind. With this method you can gather 1 - 3 times with 482 Collectability.

I average 2 - 3 collections per 4-hour window using Cordials when necessary. If you collect from a Botany Node you can get Leafborne and Miner will have a small chance for Landborne. Enjoy!
