The second half of the FFXIV Dawntrail begins in Shaaloani, a desert-like map filled with its own Aether Currents. Here’s how to find all the Shaaloani Aether Currents in FFXIV Dawntrail.
Where to Find All Shaaloani Aether Currents in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail
There are 10 Aether Currents obtainable in Shaaloani, with 4 more rewarded from Side Quests and a last one as a bonus from the MSQ. The map is fully available for you as soon as you step on it (except for its special FATE arena), so you’re free to grab them all before continuing the main story. You won’t be able to fly until you reach a certain point in it, though.
Always keep your Aether Compass in your hotbar when searching for the currents, as it’ll reveal their approximate position, making them much easier to find.

The first Aether Current you can find in Shaaloani in FFXIV is up the stairs of one of the houses in Hhusatawi.
