Sector 24 (spoils) and 13 (Crafting Materia except Control...)

I have a question regarding airship parts. I have several spare left over parts I don't need. As my FC has four ships with builds I am happy with. I know you can use FC binded furnishings etc on one's personal housing, but does the same apply to airship parts?

Basically I was going to invite a friend into my FC, give them access to take the parts then leave - go back to theirs and use the parts. Would that be possible at all? Has anyone tried?

I hope this is the right thread to ask in. ORZ

So I'm not 100% sure of the answer to your question but I will say that you'll want to make sure that your friend's house is a FREE COMPANY HOUSE and not just a personal house. Personal housing doesn't allow you to buy or build a workshop to use and therefore no airships.

I can confrim that yes, you CAN do this. I transfer used airships parts to all of my alt FC's. Its the main way that i've been able to outfit my fleet of 28 ships without having to craft new parts everytime i unlock a new one. Saves alot of time and materials.

Thanks for clarifying hun, much appreciated. =3

Going to sector 13, 17 and 24. It brings me crafting materias pretty often, more handmanship than control but that's not so bad. I hoper they will raise the level of the airship next update.

Updated 3 airships to inv/bronco/vilt/ody, let's see how they go wtih crafting materia.

I just built an airship with invincible hull, bronco sail, oddysey forecastle and viltgance aftcastle. I think this was the best way to get the retrieval from the forecastle and still have over 90 surveillance. Is this the best build for getting things? I don't care about the speed or range, as long as it can get to the furthest places

Total stats are:
Surveillance- 102
Retrieval- 154
Speed- 46
Range- 84
Favor- 122

61/61 components

I'm having a real hard time discovering sector 23; is it true that it is discovered from sector 19? I'm using 90+ surveillance, is there any other stat that's required to discover it?

After we upgraded one of our airships a bit, I log on last night to find out that we unlocked sector 24! It's only taken several months, LOL!

Sector 19 is right
You need 90 surveillance to reach it
Then burn one or two lalafel to RNGesus

(Or leave the airship management to the luckiest person you know... that's what my FC do by asking me to do everything)

I'm curious, is anyone preparing for 3.3? I'm wondering if I should make invincible II or Odyssey Forecastles in case there's a raise in the necessary surveillance level needed to unlock new areas.

Not really much you can do without info, apart maybe stack up on dark steel ore and coke we all know you need mountains of this items when crafting new Airship parts.

ive had zone 24 unlocked for a little over a month, for close to 3 weeks i got a zu mount every day, for the last two weeks ive gotten ZERO. I am using the airship builds in the first post for zu mount farming...is there a nerf or something going on? I refuse to believe the RNG is this bad....

Dude, a zu mount every day for 3 weeks? I would say that's just RNG balancing out the extremely insane luck you had.

It took me 11 weeks to get around 30 zu mounts, with 7 airships.

THanks for the reply, i dont really know the RNG truth be told, i figured it was a guaranteed type deal with the setup it had listed as i had good luck. Trying to get a few FC people mounts but should have not sold them when they were dropping :(

I have been sending my 16 Airships to sector 13 and 17 for the last two months and it is my believe that wind silk no longer drops from this 2 sectors. If anyone can confirm this

Thank you

If your looking for wind silk sector 21 drops the most from my experiences. Since your running the Crafting materia sectors (something i havnt done in months due to Tier V DOW materia) have you noticed any difference in the Materia Yields? Some friends have suggested that materia drops less frequently now.

It's not that I'm looking for Wind silk, It's that I used to pay help with crafted items made with wind silk when I need to craft in the workshop. Yields for me are the same as they wear before 3.2 but I have very slow builds with high Favor and Retrieval.

I'm wondering what's been added to airship mission rewards with the new patch.

Most likely Lv5 crafting materia and some Glamour. Will update if I get any materia, all my airships will be coming back during the maintenance.

I have 3 set to come back as well, will report as soon as I am able!

I've been sending two ships out to sectors 19 & 21 since 3.2. One ship is fast and can only hit one sector, the other hits both sectors but takes much longer.

Does anyone have any anecdotal, circumstantial, or otherwise evidence that helps to unlock sectors aside from RNG? Is the Survey required slightly higher or is there a minuscule higher chance to unlock sectors by having other players send the ships out?

It's been >100 days trying to unlock two sectors... At this point after sacrificing all Lala's I've seen I'm willing to try anything...

Can't really give any tips other than keep at it. The only way to fight rng is throwing more dice.

16 Airships no Lv5 crafting materia from sector 13 and 17 with inv/bro/tata/tata and inv/bro/vilt/ody builds.

HI guys got some "new" items from one of my airships,
Got Silver ore from Sector 17
Electrum Ore from 18
and
Minium (HQ) from sector 24
This was on one of my worst airships though

One ship back upon login got a new item:
Sector 11: Bag of Althyk lavender seeds x 10
(sorry if I spelled that wrong, eyes are barely working atm)

Minium from Sector 24, now. Other ship came back with already-known items.

minium x10 from sector 24

One ship came back today, got 3 Althyk Lavender Seeds from Sector 13. Hopefully someones maintaining this thread still to update as we give new info!

Enjoy music collectors. :P

Voidrakes also from S12.

No pics, but I found a rather disappointing result from Sector 20 : Mythrite Sand.

Several high-quality handfuls of mythrite sand@ discovered. Commencing extraction upon determining ideal sample.
Normal retrieval levels result in an average extraction yield.
11 handfuls of mythrite sand@ retrieved!

IMO: Airship Crafting / Gathering materia got nerfed in patch 3.3. With the addition of lower level materials to each sector, the loot tables are now much larger and in-turn, have less a chance of dropping materia. My sector 13-17 route now returns with chimerical leather and minium (wooot!). Thx SE! QQ

I just received Silver Ore from Sector 17. Silver. Not Hardsilver. What the what, SE.
