All Heritage Found Aether Current locations in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail

You really do want flight here...

As you progress through Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail’s main story, you’ll soon find yourself in the strange world of Heritage Found. This dome-encased and gloomy locale is pretty hard to navigate, so it’s understandable that you’d want to take to the air.

However, if you want to do that, you’ll need to unlock all of the Aether Currents in the area. There are 15 in total – 10 field Aether Currents, which can be found using your Aether Compass, four side quests to complete and one unlocked through MSQ progression.

As this isn’t a split map, you can theoretically unlock all 10 of these Aether Currents without doing any of the MSQ at all. They’re all fairly easy to get to, even if you do have to travel pretty far to get from one to the next:

  • (X:29.4, Y:25.9, Z:1.6)
  • (X:25.5, Y:7.9, Z:0.7)
  • (X:9.4, Y:26.8, Z:0.1)
  • (X:9.7, Y:12.1, Z:0.3)
  • (X:20.9, Y:28.1, Z:0.8)
  • (X:15.7, Y:16.1, Z:0.7)
