In this FFXIV Shadowbringers Aether Currents Location Guide, we will detail all the locations where you can find the Aether Currents. There are various maps in the new expansion which brings the Aether Currents scattered around the locations. Our guide will detail their exact location coordinates for you to go and collect.
Each zone in the game has a number of Aether Currents. Collecting an Aether Current of a zone will give you the ability to fly in the zone. Fling is like a reward for getting to know each of the regions the game has.
While Aether Currents are specifically placed in the zones, and waiting for you to be collected, there are other ways to get the Aether Currents as well. Not all Aether Currents can be collected from exploring the zones, but some are tied to quests.
Playing through the game will unlock quests that will reward you with the remaining Aether Currents. So if you are looking to get all of them, you have to complete the quests as well. But don’t worry, this guide will also show you the quest location coordinates.
To track the number of Aether currents in your collection, you can go to the Aether Currents tab in the Travel side menu, at the bottom of your screen.

This conludes our FFXIV Shadowbringers Aether Currents Locations Guide. Post your comments below.
Can you please make a note of where the quest starts if it starts outside the zone? I was confused because I was missing one quest in lakeland but it starts in crystarium and the quest listing on here isn’t marked as such and it might confuse other players
It would be even more helpful to include information about the level at which each district can be completed. As far as I can see, they are:
Kholusia = 79
Lakeland = 72
Il Mheg = 73
Amh Araeng = 77
Rak’tika = 75
Tempest = 80
TYVM for this VERY helpful guide!
