Final Fantasy XIV Aether Currents allow you to soar through the skies with a flying mount of your choice to let you lord it over your puny land-based compatriots. There really is no finer way to drink in the stupendous vistas of one of the best MMOs on PC than amid its beautifully fluffy clouds.
In Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker, to fly in each region players must find ten Aether Currents, and obtain five of them through quests. We’ve provided the coordinates of all ten Aether Current locations, as well as which quests provide the extra five Aether Currents.
Another method when it comes to how to unlock flying in Endwalker is to equip the Aether Compass. This Key Item tells you the direction and the distance away the nearest Aether Current in FF14 is. That said, why would you need such a device when you’ve found the article version of it right here. So let’s get started, here’s where to find all FFXIV Aether Currents locations in Endwalker.
