Aether Currents in Final Fantasy XIV are vital for quickly traversing any region you explore as they allow your mounts to fly. When you reach Shaaloani, one of the new areas in Dawntrail, there are several new Aether Currents for you to track down and add to your collection.
You won’t be able to see the Aether Currents on your map; instead, you must rely on your Aether Compass to point you in the proper direction. After finding the ones in the general map, you’ll need to earn the rest via quest rewards in FFXIV—but they only reveal themselves after you’ve completed enough of the Dawntrail Main Scenario Quests.
