A glass case containing a wind-aspected needle balanced on a pin. Nearby aether currents exert torque on the pin, "pulling" it in their direction.

— In-game description

The Aether Compass gives you the bearing and distance to the nearest Aether Current upon use. It is used to locate Aether Currents in the field and can be found in the Collection menu. It can be assigned to a hotbar.

Prior to Patch 6.0, the Aether Compass was found in the Key Items tab of your inventory. If you lost it, you were able to talk to Gibrillont at the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard or Gaufrid (x14.3, y9.6) in Rhalgr's Reach to get another.

Acquisition

This is unlocked after completing the 3.0 Main Scenario Quest Divine Intervention.
