[2020] How to mine Brandstone

I've been seeing a lot of people not knowing how to mine the brandstone meteors so I figured I'd make a quick guide.

 
Step 1: Goto the Astralarium Volatile Magic Collector and get the multitool.

Step 2: Wait for a brandstone meteor to land (the Astralarium Volatile Magic Collector will mention when this happens)

Step 3: Use your multitool to find where the impact site is (Either special action key while on mount or 1 skill on the multitool while on foot)

Step 4: You will either encounter a glowing crater surrounded by branded elementals or a giant crystal

Step 4.5: If the impact site is a giant crystal just smash it and collect the materials from the inner chunk of brandstone

Step 5: If the impact site is a glowing crater use your 1 skill on the multitool to find the location of a buried brandstone chunk around the glowing crater (do not use the dig skill IN the crater)

Step 6: Look for the beam of light caused by the 1 skill and use the 2 skill near it, wait for it to surface then collect your materials from it

Step 7: Rinse & repeat steps 5 and 6 until it says there are no more brandstone deposits

 
Tips: The Astralarium Volatile Magic Collector sells upgrades for the brandstone multitool.

Always use the 3 skill on the brandstone chunks if you have it (Extractor upgrade)

Make sure to mark the glowing crater with the 5 skill before mining the brandstone chunks if you have it (Marker upgrade)

This concludes how to mine the brandstone.
