[Thaumcraft 4] Good sources of primal aspects?

[Salamileg9]

Hey all, I've been working in Thaumcraft lately, trying out all the new things that have been added (the first time I've played it since warp was introduced) and I find myself running low on primal aspects for research, primarily Aqua, Ordo, and Aer. Is there any way to efficiently get all these aspects back? And if destruction tables are the best option, what items would be best for each of the primal aspects?

Decon table would probably be your best bet. As for what to feed it, crafting tables are your best bet. 100% chance of any of the primals iirc.

Apples also work decently in the deconstruction table (maybe 1 in 3). Scan every node you can get your 'ometer on (they give 10-25% back as research aspects?). Its almost worth making a flat dimension solely for a node run.

If you want specific aspects,

* Ordo - chiseled stone bricks
* Aer - sugarcane

Scan ALL THE THINGS! Seriously on a big modpack you never run out of research points doing this.
Or scan nodes

I always make a flat Mystcraft mining world for my quarries etc.(I hate ruining the overworld.). This doubles perfectly for finding lots of nodes easily to scan/bottle/whatever.
I also find that nodes are quite easy to spot on water with JourneyMap in night mode(the light they emit is easy to spot and there are no other sources on water to confuse them with).

Never had a problem with research points because of it and scanning other things.

There's the Whisperweed from Botania.

Give it mana, and free research points.

Yeah. Ten whisperweeds from botania will give you around 1000 aspects of research for water, air, order, fire, perditio, earth after 30 minutes.
