FFXIV has launched The Endwalker expansion pack which means it’s a good day for the early birds looking to dive headfirst into the adventure. Gamers are in for a wild ride as they travel to Sharlayan. Endwalker follows in the footsteps of the wildly popular Shadowbringers expansion pack. It is the fourth instalment and the final expansion chapter.

This expansion pack introduced new maps to the game in addition to increasing the level cap to 90. Moreover, it also introduces two new character classes — Sage and Reaper. The Aether Compass helps in locating aether currents, making it a vital item in FFXIV The Endwalker expansion.

Aether currents can unlock the ability to fly for your mount in specific regions so it is definitely an item that you want to acquire. However, finding the location of every region’s aether can be quite a challenge. The Aether Compass is an indispensable tool in this regard in the FFXIV Endwalker expansion. Here’s how to find the Aether Compass in FFXIV.

With the Endwalker expansion finally arriving, gamers are on the hunt for the Aether Compass that seems to have gone missing. However, you do not need to worry. The Aether Compass is not lost, just relocated. It has been moved from the ‘Key items’ tab to the ‘Collection’ tab under the Duty menu. Even if you end up displacing or discarding the Aether Compass, FFXIV will automatically place it in the Collection menu.

As previously mentioned, the Aether Compass allows players to unlock flying in specific areas. However, players first need to locate the Aether Currents with the help of the Aether Compass.

To see how many are left to collect, players can go to the “Travel” menu and select “Aether Currents”. Alternatively, players can also type “/aethercurrent” in their log. This displays all Aether Currents that are collected. Players will do well to remember that some of the Aether Currents can only be obtained through side quests. The specific side quests are marked with a blue background and plus symbol. A few of the quests only appear after certain main and side quests are completed.
