Locations of All Aether Currents in FFXIV Amh Araeng
A complete guide to unlocking flying in Amh Araeng. Includes the map split details, coordinates, and quest requirements for Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers.Amh Araeng is unique among Shadowbringers zones because it is split into two distinct halves. You will visit the eastern half (Mord Souq) at Level 70, but you will hit a wall preventing you from going west. You must return later in the story (around Level 76/77) to access the western half (Twine) and finish collecting your currents.
Since the release of Endwalker (Patch 6.0), the number of field currents has been reduced to 4. You will need to find these 4 field currents and complete 5 quests to unlock flying.

Essential Tips for Amh Araeng
- Don't Panic at the Wall: If you are Level 70-75 and see currents on your compass that you cannot reach, ignore them. You are physically blocked from the western half of the map until the Level 76 MSQ takes you back there.
- Use the Trolley Tracks: Several currents in the Twine area are located along the mine cart tracks or high up on the mining structures.
Embarking on this quest for Aether Currents in Amh Araeng is not just about gaining the freedom to fly; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in the mysteries of the First. From the bustling trade of Mord Souq to the desolate mines of Twine, every discovery brings you closer to mastering the skies.
