Final Fantasy XIV: Thavnair Aether Currents Guide

Thavnair is one of the first zones you’ll visit during your adventures in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, but you’ll only be able to acquire half of its field Aether Currents to start with. No matter how hard you try, it’s impossible to jump down the cliff that divides the zone in two. However, once you return, the full set will be available to you, along with the sidequests after a certain point. This guide will show you how to access the Aether Currents in each section of the zone. In this guide, we’ll show you every Thavnair Aether Location so you can easily grab them all.

In total, there are 15 Aether Currents to be collected in the Thavnair region, and we've got coordinates and pictures of each one!

Thavnair Aether Currents - Field Aether Currents: First Visit

There are 10 Field Aether Currents in Thavnair to be found. It will take you two visits to acquire all 10.

Thavnair Aether Currents - Location #1

• Coordinates - X: 27.4, Y: 31
• From the first aetheryte, head northeast through the water. You’ll run into a dead end, where the first Aether Current is found. Despite what your Aether Compass shows, the nearby Aether Current is not accessible until you revisit the zone.

Thavnair Aether Currents - Location #2

• Coordinates - X: 18, Y: 32.1
• Heading west from the town, you’ll eventually run into a small cliff. If you’re following the main story, this is close to an early quest objective.

Thavnair Aether Currents - Location #3

• Coordinates - X: 11.9, Y: 10.3
• In the ruins overlooking the beach at the northwest of the zone. Can be reached from the beach by heading up the path to the south.

Thavnair Aether Currents - Location #4

• Coordinates - X: 20.4, Y: 7.2
• This one is at the northmost part of the Thavnair, near some scaffolding and the zone’s distinctive magenta rocks.

Thavnair Aether Currents - Location #5

• Coordinates - X: 19.1, Y: 15.6
• You can find this Aether Current at the cliff right in the center of the zone. Said cliff is what stops you from accessing the other part of the map, despite how easy it looks to get down.
