An 以太 Cylinder
以太 Cylinders, often referred to simply as cylinders, are items which house various forms of energy, and are a component in creating Gems. There are two 主色调 types of Cylinders in 异度神剑.

燃料 Cells
The first type of Cylinder found is a type of 燃料 used to move the 破坏移动炮台. This type of Cylinder is found at the Cylinder 停机库 but otherwise is not found elsewhere in the game.
Gem Creation
The 其它 type of Cylinder available in gameplay terms is the type used to create Gems. Gems are items that equip onto 武器 and Armour to give players an additional edge in battle. The rank of the Cylinder determines the class (I-V) of the Gem, whilst the colour denotes the attribute. Cylinders posses only one attribute (like Strength Up, Muscle Up etc.) unlike 以太 Crystals, which can have 复数部位.
Obtaining
Cylinders are dropped by non-living 敌人 such as Mechon, Andos, and Astas.
Cylinders can be created throughout 异度神剑 by mining 以太 Crystal deposits and then selecting "unused attributes" during the Gem Crafting process which did not turn into gems (at 100%). These 以太 Crystal deposits are large, rocky structures that glow the colour of the element they are aligned with.
When players have collected all the 以太 a specific area has to offer, they may return later to find the 以太 restored.
Naming
以太 cylinders used in gem crafting are named according to their rank and the element of the Gem attribute they hold, for example Bright Wind Cylinder or Rare Ice Cylinder. The elements are Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Ice, or 雷电.
The first word of a cylinder's name always indicates its rank, while the second denotes the element of the Gem attribute it holds. So, for example, a Rank II Cylinder with a Gem attribute of Agility Up would be a Large Wind Cylinder.
