All Shaaloani Aether Currents in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, location and map guide

The fourth major zone you will access in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail is Shaaloani, a rain-starved plains in central Xak Tural. Unlike the previous three zones, which are split into two areas requiring you progress before unlocking access to their Aether Currents, all ten in the field are accessible immediately upon reaching Shaaloani.

As with Urqopacha, Kozama’uka, and Yak T’el, there are 15 Aether Currents in total to find in Shaaloani. You can use your Aether Compass to find the 10 on the field, or simply use our map and guide below. Four of the other Aether Currents will be unlocked from side quests, with the final one unlocking after completing a specific MSQ quest.
