Every Final Fantasy XIV expansion needs a desert area, and in Dawntrail, that is Shaaloani. The wild west of the world, Shaaloani is filled with tumbleweeds, folks with southern accents, and of course, scorching heat. It also comes with the most impossible-to-pronounce areas, such as Luwateninyawawsa and Mehwahhetsoan. Fortunately, it’s one of the easier locations for collectibles as it’s a flat land with its map being circular.

Taking Flight

There are various Aether Currents to be found throughout the vast map, some that will require going off the beaten path and patience. The latter refers to the first two areas in which, similar to how it has been in past expansion, is split into two sections. Thankfully, these are quick to get to as, unlike its predecessors, Dawntrail closely focuses on each area, making a more linear path instead of something that loops back onto itself.

Fastest Ways to Level Crafters in FFXIV: Dawntrail

It’s not just about getting battle jobs up to max level, but the grind to get crafters in FFXIV: Dawntrail.

In order to fly, though, players will need not only do various side quests in each of the areas, but find currents spread throughout the map. These can be tricky to locate, but thankfully we’ve put together a map for you to quickly get them. These will be required for specific side content, such as unique FATES and world bosses, but otherwise, it’s just so much faster and more convenient to be able to soar the skies.
