This guide will go through all of the aether current locations that you can find in FFXIV: Shadowbringers. Note that for all areas, you likely won’t have physical access to all of them until you’ve restored the night sky there.

This is because some aether currents in FFXIV: Shadowbringers are locked behind areas you can’t reach until you get there in the story, but also, there’s a portion of aether currents that are locked behind side quests and main quests.

So our order of operations would be to play the main quest until you’ve restored the night sky in a certain area you are hunting. Then, go and look for all the side quests that offer currents, you can tell which ones are which on the map as they have a bluish tint and plus besides the question mark. Then after that, go ahead and start hunting using the guide below.

Spoiler warning: Obviously, we’re giving you the location of all aether currents which includes every area in FFXIV: Shadowbringers, if you don’t want to be spoiled on the look of certain locations don’t use the guide until after you’ve completed the main story quest.
