Deep-green Crystal discovered in Sector 3.

Discovered The Diadem (Hard) by doing a voyage from sectors 18 to 20 since our FC doesn't have sectors 21 and 22 unlocked. If I recall correctly it got unlocked after leaving sector 18.

We have found Wind Silk on sector 16. We got 3 NQ.

In our FC we wanted to figure out the best combinations of parts for our airships and their roles. Given that there are so many possible combinations I decided to quickly write a crude script to first generate all possible combinations of airships (with < 61 components) and then filter them based on stats we chose. It turns out that it works really well.

Awesome! This is a very handy tool for planning your fleet! \o/ Do you mind if I put a link to it in my guide?

I think most of us went through a parts shuffle when we were trying to outfit our new airships but also send our higher level airships out to sectors that have a minimum surveillance requirement. Something like this would have been really nice!

Thanks for the screenshot evidence! It was really starting to look like the diadem has some special unlocking conditions, it has been reported from 18, 20, 21, and 22. This could be useful knowledge for people still trying to unlock, might as well hit as many of those higher level sectors as you can!

On an unrelated note, for the new items I've started putting links to the reporting posts for attribution rather than mention everyone's username, just for the sake of readability. Thanks everyone for the continued reports!

Is there a list of all the items you can trade in for at the Diadem? Like a link? This is my go-to thread of everything Airship related.

[Lazrex]

You can check the vendors at the Ishgard Airship Landing, they have the same items to trade in as the vendor inside Diadem.

Fyi,

You can check the spoils in housing zones too.

[Dezwaan]

Does anyone know if your airships get experience from Airship Missions to the Diadem (Easy/Normal)?

I haven't read all of the thread so apologies if there is already a calculator.

If you raise the stats slowly in order of importance you can quickly reduce the number of results to a manageable amount, even right down to a single ship combination. Yay!

I think others can make use of this tool, so i'll post here it.

Maybe one day I will have enough time to write a better looking or more functional version.

Converted to in-browser Javascript, to remove the dependency on that server (or Internet access at all). Also, and probably more usefully, added sorting capability.

(I hope at some point to add the ability to specify a set of available airship parts, since very few FCs are going to have four of every part. Alternatively, I may wander off and forget I made this. The future is mysterious and unwritten!)

Sorry for vanishing, but babies are complicated. I'll try to update the spreadsheets within the next few days.
