Aether Current

Main Command 63 Icon.png
In certain Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker zones, attuning to Aether Currents will allow certain mounts to fly. Some Aether Current are rewarded for completing quests, and others are found in the field.

Some of these quests might only appear after progressing through the story. Attuning to all Aether Current in a zone will allow for flight. Hover over the quest or Aether Current on the map below to see its location or how to acquire it.
