Finding all of the aether currents hidden in a big zone like Yak T’el isn’t an easy task for FFXIV players. Here’s all the aether currents in Yak T’El in FFXIV: Dawntrail.

Where to Find All Yak T’El Aether Currents in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail

In FFXIV, you’ll need to collect 10 aether currents around Yak T’el before you can start flying in this zone. You’ll also need a few extras that can be obtained from specific side quests (except one, which is gifted during the MSQ). As you get to explore the full map as soon as you arrive, you can theoretically grab them all as soon as you visit it. However, you’ll still need to reach a certain point in MSQ to unlock the aforementioned side quests.

Remember to equip your Aether Compass to your hotbar when searching for the currents, as it can make your life much easier by giving a vague description of where the closest wind formation is.
