Aether Currents in Final Fantasy XIV are essential for quickly traveling through a region you're exploring, as they allow your mounts to fly. When you reach Shaaloani, one of the new areas in Dawntrail, there will be several new Aether Currents to track down and add to your collection.

You can’t see the Aether Currents on your map; instead, you’ll need to rely on your Aether Compass to point you in the right direction. After you find the ones on the main map, you’ll need to earn the rest via quest rewards in FFXIV, but they won’t reveal themselves until you complete enough of the Dawntrail Main Scenario Quests.

There are 10 Aether Currents that you will find while exploring the Shaaloani region. All locations are available when you enter this area, except for the small island to the north. These are the first Aether Currents that you should grab before you start the quests. It is a similar process for unlocking the other regions in Dawntrail, such as Yak T'el, Urqopacha, and Kozama'uka.

Unfortunately, the Aether Current rewards from quests are not available until you have progressed through the Dawntrail Main Scenario Quests. The quests that you need to grab should have a clear plus symbol on their icon. This will make them stand out from the regular side quests. These are the side quests and Main Scenario Quest that you need to complete to find the final Aether Currents in Shaaloani.
