One important tool to find in Final Fantasy XIV is the Aether Compass. For those looking to unlock flight for their mounts, it's an essential way to find Aether Currents and the tool changes for each expansion, including Dawntrail.

You can find the Aether Compass by following a feature and clicking on it. If you're only focused on the main scenario missions, it's easy to miss this feature in Final Fantasy XIV, making it more difficult to track down Aether Currents. Here's what you need to know about the Aether Compass and how to get it in Dawntrail.

The Aether Compass is in its exact location in every expansion for Final Fantasy XIV. But if it's been a few months since you last used it, it's easy to forget where to find it. Its location hasn't changed between Endwalker and Dawntrail. You can find it by clicking on the Duty section at the bottom right of your screen and selecting the Collection option. From here, you should see the Aether Compass and Unending Codex items that you always have on your character in Final Fantasy XIV.

If you want to find nearby Aether Currents, you can do so by clicking on the Aether Compass. It should help you track down nearby currents that you have yet to discover, and they're a valuable resource if you're planning on saving time traveling through areas in Final Fantasy XIV. It's the only way for your character to fly while on a mount.
