Suggestion [remove Aether Currents as a catch up mechanic]

[Juun]

Open your inventory, click the button on the far right to see your key items, drag the compass onto your hotbar and then click it while navigating to each quest objective and it will tell you how far away the nearest Aether Current is. If it's close you can go and get it.

You would have been given one in the course of the MSQ. It's in your key items.

I think I screwed up somehow I finished Shadowbringers and the only thing in my key items is food I never brought to starving soldiers and Khloe's journal.

You can get another one by visiting Gibrillont at the Inn in Ishgard (Forgotten Knight) or Gaufrid in Rhalgar's Reach. If you did a story/job skip you'll have to go see one of them, because it doesn't automatically pop into your key items list.
