These are for the new Endwalker expansion only. You can also view old Shadowbringers nodes here or view old Heavensward and Stormblood nodes here
Ephemeral Nodes spawn for 4 hours. There are three nodes around the area marked. I like to use my raid markers to mark them up (A,B,C) when I first get there, it makes it easier to get around quickly.
Use Collector's Glove: Collectable items gathered from Ephemeral Nodes are used for Aetherial Reduction. They convert into Crystals, Clusters, and varying types of Aethersand. The resulting Crystals and Clusters are of the same type as can be found directly on the node.
