A flying mount in Final Fantasy XIV is a must for players to traverse the lands with ease, but you can't take to the skies without first collecting Aether Currents. In the Dawntrail expansion, one of the first areas you can explore is Urqopacha.
[FFXIV Dawntrail] Urqopacha – All Aetherstream Locations
You don’t want to go out of your way to find the Urqopacha Aether Currents right away. Instead, it helps to complete the Main Scenario Quests in the FFXIV Dawntrail expansion and work your way through the area steadily, giving you a chance to unlock them naturally. Additionally, some areas of Urqopacha may be blocked off to you until you’re further along in the story, so it’s best not to rush it.
There are 10 Aether Currents that you can find by exploring the Urqopacha region in Final Fantasy XIV. It helps to work your way through the many Main Scenario Quests of Dawntrail's main story before attempting to tackle them all.
The first five in the north are always available when you arrive in Urqopacha, while the southern region doesn't unlock for you in FFXIV until you enter it, making the last five unobtainable. You can also use your Aether Compass to track them down after you've found them for the Kozama'uka region. Manually tracking the Aether Currents takes time, but it might be more fun to see this area for yourself.
