Cetus Wisp

"Strange stone lifeforms that call the Plains home. They are a rare find, clustering together, floating above a patch of ground they've taken inexplicable interest in. They are an enigma."

- In-Game Description

Cetus Wisps are odd beings found hovering near bodies of water on the Plains of Eidolon. They are a strange cross between a loot pickup and a non-hostile NPC, as it will wander around slightly but vanish and be deposited in the player's inventory should the player touch it.

The wisps are a widely used crafting component for gear bought from The Quills, such as Operator Amp components, Operator/Amp arcanes (Magus and Virtuos), and Operator cosmetics.

Behavior
Cetus Wisps will stay at the same location, floating around, until approached by the player. If not picked up quickly, it will circle a few seconds moving towards the sky, and disappear in a small burst of light.

Tips

 * Gara Toht Lake has several spawning locations, sometimes up to 4.
 * ,, and can be used to find them, greatly reducing time searching around large lakes.
 * The Itzal Archwing allows the player to fly around the lakes looking for loot icons while using Cosmic Crush ability to suck up wisps. However, doing so limits the player's loot radar to only Loot Detector, as non-aura mods do not carry over to Archwing.
