{{quote|Most common at night, these stone lifeforms are drawn to shorelines touched by the Eidolon. They linger around lakes on the Plains of Eidolon at all hours. Their origin remains mysterious.|In-Game Description}}
'''Cetus Wisps''' are odd beings found hovering on the edge of most bodies of water in the [[Plains of Eidolon]], and are also purchasable from [[The Quills]] for {{sc|2,000}} (available at '''[[The_Quills#Ranks|Rank 5 - Architect]]'''), or during [[Operation: Plague Star]] from [[Operational Supply]] for {{sc|750}} + {{cc|1,500}} .

==Behavior==
Cetus Wisps are generally found on the banks of Gara Toht Lake and the smaller pools of landlocked water. They will be deposited in the player's inventory should the player manage to touch it.

Identified more as a loot pickup than a non-hostile NPC, they are widely used as a resource for crafting. Wisps are typically used as a component in [[Amp]] and [[Zaw]] components, but are also used in {{WF|Gara}}'s chassis and {{WF|Revenant}}'s systems.

==Tips==
[[File:Cetus Wisp Spawn Locations.png|thumb|right|Cetus Wisp Spawn Locations (incomplete)]]
[[File:Optimal_route.png|thumb|right|Cetus Wisp optimal farming route (optimised using genetic algorithm)]]

*Wisp spawn locations are shared between players. They can be picked up and marked by other players.
*Wisps show up as loot on the Plains. Therefore, {{M|Loot Detector}}, {{M|Animal Instinct}}, and {{M|Thief's Wit}} can be used to identify them, greatly reducing time used for searching.
*Wisps are not highlighted by [[Codex Scanner|Codex]] or [[Synthesis Scanner]]s.
*{{M|Vacuum}} and {{M|Greedy Pull}} will '''not''' pick them up and players must manually collect the Wisp, given that Wisps also ignores the 3-meter universal vacuum.
*Wisps can be picked up while in [[Archwing]]. [[Itzal]] allows players to quickly skim fly around using {{A|Cosmic Crush}} ability to suck up wisps. Bring a {{M|Loot Detector}} or a companion with {{M|Animal Instinct}} to see them in the Archwing ({{M|Thief's Wit}} won't work).
*Wisps can be picked up by {{WF|Titania}} while in {{A|Razorwing}} form simply by flying through the wisp.
*Wisps can be picked up by the {{Companion|Chesa Kubrow}}}.
*Wisps can be encountered at any time of day, though they can be harder to see at night. The blue shimmer on the ground at night in fact makes these harder to see. During the day the contrast of colors makes them easier to see.
*Only one Wisp is active at any one time, and collecting it will spawn another one in a different location up to a certain limit, so hunting several of them in one session will take repeated sweeps of the spawn zones. During the day, 3-4 Wisps will spawn across the entirety of the Plains. At night, the number of Wisps spawned will increase to 6-8.
**It is possible for Gara Toht Lake to spawn up to 4, or even 5 at night.
*Wisps have set spawn points and will choose from a subset of those to spawn at upon entering the Plains, after which no more Wisps will spawn for that session. To continue searching for more Wisps, players will have to spawn a new instance of the Plains. They have been found on the shoreline of nearly every notable inland lake and two streams (the one north of Gara Toht Lake leading to/through a set of small lakes, and the forked stream in the far northwest).
*An active [[Resource Booster]] or the periodical {{M|Charm}} buff will double the number of Wisps picked up for the duration.

==Trivia==
*Judging from design, material, glowing light, symmetrical shape, and the fact they are more abundant in the nighttime, the Cetus Wisp is possibly [[Sentient]] in nature. They are likely a harmless, minuscule fragment of the fallen [[Eidolon]].
**When feeding the [[Helminth]], the Sentient Appetite category (unlocked at Metamorphosis rank 8) contains the Cetus Wisp. This confirms them to be Sentients, or at least fragments of larger Sentients.

;Cetus Wisp Acquisition Changes

Another part of a Tenno’s path is improving their gear, especially once they’ve unlocked their Operator. In addition to the Focus Point acquisition changes covered above in the System Changes section, we’ve made the following tweaks to improve player acquisition for Amps:

*'''Cetus Wisps no longer disappear!''' These are crucial crafting costs for many early-game Amps, and while we did add the ability to purchase this resource from Onkko at Rank 5 Quills, this change should improve player acquisition earlier on in their journey. 
**''As similar pickups like Scintillant and Toroids were added to the game, this timed mechanic for Cetus Wisps felt unnecessarily complicated in contrast.'' 
**''The Cetus Wisp description was changed in Update 33.6.8 and now the functionally is live to match its new state: “Most common at night, these stone lifeforms are drawn to shorelines touched by the Eidolon. They linger around lakes on the Plains of Eidolon at all hours. Their origin remains mysterious.”''

{{ver|33.6.8}}
*Updated the Cetus Wisp description to indicate better how to obtain them. 
**''“Most common at night, these stone lifeforms are drawn to shorelines touched by the Eidolon. They linger around lakes on the Plains of Eidolon at all hours. Their origin remains mysterious.”''
**''We have an additional QOL change coming to Cetus Wisps in the upcoming Abyss of Dagath Update - stay tuned!''

{{ver|24.7.2}}
*Fixed the Cena Apparel Blueprint and Vahd Apparel Blueprint requiring 5 Cetus Wisps by swapping it to 5 Eidolon Gems.

{{ver|24.6}}
;POE / CETUS ECONOMY REMASTER LITE:

With Fortuna's release, we applied some general economy changes based on takeaways from Cetus. Now that we have returned to Cetus and the Plains of Eidolon with a remaster, we are applying some 'Economy Remaster' changes to go with the changes in an effort to apply our continued learnings. Change is the name of the game - thank you for all feedback on our economies and for being receptive to change! 

*Replaced Arcane Blueprints with '''Arcanes in Hok's Offerings meaning that Arcanes no longer need to be built.'''
**Owned Exodia Arcane Blueprints have been converted to full-crafted Arcanes
*Removed Cetus Wisp costs from Operator Armour Blueprints, and replaced them with Eidolon Gems.
*Removed Cetus Wisps from Amp Prism Blueprint, and replaced them with Fish Parts or Eidolon Gems.
*Reduced Standing cost of Cetus Wisps from Quills Offerings.

{{ver|24.2.7}}
*Reduced the Standing cost of Cetus Wisps from 10k to 5k.

{{ver|23.0}}
*Moved Cetus Wisp spawn points a bit further away from water volumes in the NW corner of the Plains for gathering ease.

{{ver|22.18.7}}
*Quill Onkko has added a Cetus Wisp to his Offerings in Cetus. These can be purchased with Quill Standing for Architect level.

{{ver|22.16}}
*A special UI message is now displayed when picking up a Syndicate Medallion or Cetus Wisp (similar to Argon Crystal).

{{ver|22.14}}
*Picking up a Cetus Wisp now includes an FX.

{{ver|22.13.4}}
*Picking up a Cetus Wisp will now display the same special UI message like when you pick up an Argon Crystal.

{{ver|22.10}}
*Cetus Wisps added to Ghoul Bounties.

{{ver|22.8.3}}
*More than doubled the size of the Cetus Wisp pickup radius. This will allow you to obtain the Cetus Wisp from further away instead of needing to be right on top of it.
*Fixed Cetus Wisps being updated while the game was paused -- this could lead to them escaping while you answered the phone.

{{ver|22.3}}
*Cetus Wisps are now Uncommon in various tables. 

{{ver|Plains of Eidolon}}
*Introduced.
