“

According to geological surveys, Sinus Ardorum is home to materials comparable in rarity to those recorded in the folklore of Etheirys. Needless to say, acquiring such rarities would benefit our initiative considerably. Locating and gathering these resources will likely be difficult, and therefore require sufficient preparation and a diligent approach. Nonetheless, we deem such activities a key determinant for our future success.

— In-game description

Strategy

Stellar Reduction is an ability that is used on gathered Collectable items. (It is an alternate version of Aetherial Reduction that is available during missions.)

Maximizing collectability significantly increases the number of reduced items you receive from reduction.
Moving while completing an automatic reduction will cancel the next reduction. Manually initiating reduction from the menu is not interrupted by movement, so you can do this while moving between nodes.
Stellar Reduction cannot be executed while mounted.
If you have Aetherial Reduction to a hotbar (from Actions & Traits > General), it will change to Stellar Reduction during a mission. (This may be an easier way for you to begin Stellar Reduction.)
