If you’re a veteran player of Final Fantasy XIV, you probably forget all about the Aether Currents in between expansions. These whirling orbs of wind dot the landscape in new maps, and only by finding all of them can you break your shackles and fly free. It’s a one-time hunt that tends to be forgotten outside of launch weeks.
The moon has been a key part of the promotional period of Endwalker. We’ve known for some time that the Warrior of Light was going to break free of gravity and head into space, but even space travel requires the Aether Current hunt. The region of the satellite we’re exploring is called Mare Lamentorum. Below you’ll find a map of the area with major locations marked with numbers, and the Aether Currents are marked with green dots — we have also included the exact coordinates for each Aether Currents and detailed the ones acquired through quests.

If you’re looking for the exact locations of each Aether Current, the coordinates are below. There are also some small notes about acquiring the currents that are slightly more annoying than their counterparts. Finally, there are a few Aether Currents that are only unlocked via quests. When those quests unlock and where you pick them up is listed below.

With all the Aether Currents collected, you’ll soar through the skies (or atmosphere) of Mare Lamentorum. However, they never really get into how you breathe on the surface of the moon. And you can’t just fly your company chocobo through outer space. I think that would kill you both.
