Aether Current Locations

[Dicejss]

I think it would be a good idea if we can start an image collection of where all the Aether Currents are for each map area. Because there are so many we have to attune to just so we can fly in the area. If other people could provide theirs that would a great help! The last 5 yellow locations are rewards from Main Scenario or Side quests. Also it helps to drag the Compass to your hotbar to spam it while looking for them.

I want to thank Causality for the added input.
Here is a helpful list guide as well compiled by Getignited on Reddit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...aring&sle=true
Now there's a wiki on Aether currents here: http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wi...an_Hinterlands

Green = Aether Currents
Yellow = Quests for Aether Currents (Keep in mind some quests have to be unlocked to appear and the Main Scenario unlock an Aether Current)

[Nadrojj]

Awesome idea. I'm stuck on collecting them in the Sea, the one i need says it's north but I can't get anymore north without flying.

[Dicejss]

I'll make a starter one once I get to that area, since I may have to update it . Still trying to find the rest from the quests and other ones I may have missed in this area of Coerthas.

[Nadrojj]

How did you get on top of the one all the way to the west on your map?

[Shadowsun]

are red ones locked behind quests or what?

[Nadrojj]

are red ones locked behind quests or what?

Yes they are.

[Dicejss]

How did you get on top of the one all the way to the west on your map?

Someone showed me just get below the hill where it is and you can jump up the hill. Took me a few tries to get the angle right myself.

[Shadowsun]

Yes they are.

Main story or side or both? hmm

[Dicejss]

Main story or side or both? hmm

It can be both. But I know one is MS and the others are side quests for this area at least.

[Shadowsun]

btw use the compass (key items, put it on a hotbar) to find the green ones faster
