Perhaps you havent done much work on the airship yet? Have you considered how long it would take to make several thousands of HQ materials?


Making them yourself would still increase time spend by a large factor, something else I would not advise, as it offers no benefit in airship construction.

Why would one waste so much time to craft that many HQ materials for absolutely no reason?
Even the extra exp you get when turning in the items is not worth it. 3k or 6k exp is way too low to matter when GC turn-ins give over 1 million exp for HQ stuff + daily bonus and leves easily give 400k+ for HQ items....

There is a counter argument though. You really get a massive amount of exp across the board crafting all your mats. A lot of our crafts hit 52~ on relevent classes just from purely doing Airship turn-ins.

Its not a terribly good argument for a system thats already 100% RNG but its one way to look at it.

With airship parts being limited by capacity and multiple people working on the project it goes down to like 30-50 low level mats per day that can be HQd in about 10-20 minutes.

I agree that NQ made in quick synthesis is better though.

HQing items for the turn ins was reasonable enough when doing it for just one part. But once you build 10+ of them and in addition peoples interest in the airship wanes theres no reason to spend the extra time for HQ, now that we know it has no noticable benefit.

Airship capacity is only limited on paper. You will still want to build 1 of each part as you progress as you will continously add more to your ship. Once you get the second one you will use your old parts to put it together.

We have built 3 tier II parts for the ship and had to wait about 6 days to put all of them on, because capacity wasn't high enough.

Yeah, but depending on where you send the ship on the voyage you will want to exchange parts. In addition, you will need the parts later for your second ship.
