What the Aether Compass Is and How to Use It

The Aether Compass is one of the key items that will have a great need to be utilized in the game. They can be used to find aether currents and these aether currents are what will unlock the ability for your vast array of mounts to fly in the air within that particular region. Each region has its own aether currents so finding all of them is essential to unlocking the full potential of your mount and travel speed options.

In turn, ensuring you have the compass ready at all times is a surefire way to find the aether currents you need to find. In terms of how to use it, you can simply activate the item when you’re wanting to search for aether currents and there will be a U.I pop-up provided about if there are any aether currents nearby. If there are, your compass will start showcasing the location by letting you know how far away from it you are and in what direction it is located for you to find them.

The Aether Compass itself is obtained from ‘Divine Intervention’ as a quest reward. However, if it is lost at any point it can also be obtained again by visiting Gilbrillont in Foundation within the Forgotten Knight. There is also another character you can visit to obtain it again and this is Guafrid in Rhalgar’s Reach located in The Fringes where players can once again be able to grab the Aether Compass for utilisation.
