Once again, Final Fantasy XIV will have you take to the skies with its new Endwalker expansion. To unlock flying in every zone, you’ll need to complete your collection of Aether Currents by progressing the Main Scenario, accepting tasks from NPCs, and finding stray currents scattered throughout the map. These Aether Currents will help complete your Sightseeing Log, as will our Sightseeing Log locations guide.

Labyrinthos, Thavnair, Garlemald, Mare Lamentorum, Elpis, and Ultima Thule all require you to find and attune to ten Aether Currents and complete five quests. The big blue markers denote quest locations on your map, and you can use your Aether Compass to find those hidden points for attuning. And just in case you missed it—yes, Square Enix did move your Aether Compass location. It’s now available from the Collection menu, which you can find under Duty in your system navigation. Just take a look at our guide below for all FFXIV Endwalker Aether Current locations.

Labyrinthos Aether Currents

You’ll enter Labyrinthos early on during FF14 Endwalker’s Main Scenario questline, but it’ll be one of the last areas you can unlock flying in with its level 88 quest requirement. Aether Currents here aren’t hard to find but zoom in carefully when moving between teleports, as some of the locations require you to use an elevator until you’re able to fly.

Quests

Thavnair Aether Currents

Endwalker’s trading post is another early location you’ll visit but remains unavailable for flight until level 85. Some of its Aether Compass directions can be a little confusing, as the device will try to lead you down into a swampy area early on. Unfortunately, that’s the same spot gated by the Main Scenario Quest, so wait a little while before trying to find your way down.

Quests

Garlemald Aether Currents

The war-torn city of Garlemald is one of the first zones you can complete, becoming fully available at level 83 during the Main Scenario. Locations here are more straightforward, but look out for trickier Aether Currents along the train tracks.

Quests

Children Are Our Future – (X:31.3, Y:13.0) Speak to Azure-haired Woman In Pursuit of Power – (X:15.1, Y:30.0) Speak to Rimelnaud Stranded at the Station – (X:15.0, Y:31.3) Speak to Galla Best Delivered Cold – (X:12.8, Y:30.7) Speak to Commissary Officer Gateway of the Gods – Level 83 Main Scenario Quest

Mare Lamentorum Aether Currents

Endwalker’s Moon is perhaps the most frustrating new zone for hunting Aether Currents. Locations outside on the surface are often not as close as you think they are. You’ll need to zoom into the map closer and look for any small landbridges connecting canyons together, as Mare Lamentorum’s big gaps can’t be crossed with ground travel only.

Quests

True Carrot Crimes – (X:15.5, Y:11.5) Speak to Watchingway Carrots: It’s What’s for Dinner – (X:15.7, Y:11.0) Speak to Yawningway Alurring Allag – (X:19.9, Y:10.9) Speak to Brusque Loporrit Name That Way – (X:22.0, Y:10.7) Speak to Knockingway Heart of the Matter – Level 84 Main Scenario Quest

Aether Current Locations

Mare Lamentorum (X:19.2, Y:19.9) Mare Lamentorum (X:22.4, Y:18.0) Mare Lamentorum (X:22.1, Y:13.5) Mare Lamentorum (X:22.2, Y:10.3) Mare Lamentorum (X:27.8, Y:9.5) Mare Lamentorum (X:34.6, Y:13.2) Mare Lamentorum (X:33.3, Y:23.7) Mare Lamentorum (X:29.3, Y:27.6) Mare Lamentorum (X:11.9, Y:9.4) Mare Lamentorum (X:6.9, Y:6.7)

Elpis Aether Currents

Attuning to everything in Elpis is a bit like a less annoying version of hunting Aether Currents in Heavensward’s Sea of Clouds. The area sports several islands scattered about, but thankfully your targets are relatively easy to spy just from riding around on your ground mount.

Quests

Touring Anagnorisis, Part I – (X:24.7, Y:26.2) Speak to Sokles An Expected Guest – (X:8.6, Y:17.6) Speak to Maira The Perks of Being a Lost Flower – (X:11.7, Y:19.5) Speak to Akadaemia Student You and the Ailouros – (X:9.2, Y:31.6) Speak to Hippothoe Caging the Messenger – Level 87 Main Scenario Quest

Aether Current Locations

Elpis (X:24.5, Y:21.5)  Elpis (X:16.3, Y:20.7) Elpis (X:13.6, Y:15.6) Elpis (X:6.2, Y:19.2) Elpis (X:10.3, Y:24.9) Elpis (X:6.3, Y:29.7) Elpis (X:11.8, Y:31.2) Elpis (X:18.5, Y:32.5) Elpis (X:34.0, Y:23.6)  Elpis (X:13.4, Y:7.6)

Ultima Thule Aether Currents

While beautiful, Ultima Thule can often feel a bit disorienting. The sky is, without a doubt, Endwalker’s most brilliant, but the ground is all the same shade of brown or blue. Try marking your map with your own flags in this area, just to make sure you don’t go speeding by too many similar hills while trailing the next Aether Current.

Quests

Combat Evolved – (X:30.8, Y:27.7) Speak to N-4486 Learn to Love – (X:31.6, Y:27.6) Speak to Inquisitive Omicron Ending as One – (X:22.4, Y:11.0) Speak to Thinking Ea A Most Stimulating Discussion – (X:23.5, Y:12.3) Speak to Noh-nookh You’re Not Alone – Level 90 Main Scenario Quest

Aether Current Locations
