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 first major region players will come across is Old Sharlayan, the new hub city, but right behind that is Thavnair. This island nation has long been at the forefront of the world’s trade. It’s led by the satrap, the ruler of the shining, colorful city of Radz-at-Han.
One thing to note is that Thavnair is one of two maps that you’ll visit twice. The first time will only cover half of the map and you won’t be able to get all of the aether currents. You can collect five of them, and two currents tied to quests. When you return to Thavnair later in the story, you’ll be able to access the second half of the map and the latter three quests that will allow you to unlock flight. For the purposes of the map below, everything in the Shroud of the Samgha region is off-limits until later in the story.
