Need a Ceruleum tank to do a FC airship exploration

Quote:

Free Company Exploratory Missions
When undertaking exploratory missions using a free company airship, players must form a party of at least two people. Players can also form an alliance of up to twenty-four players. There are no role requirements for entering the Diadem as an alliance. Each party or alliance member must have a tank of mission ceruleum in their possession, which can be purchased in exchange for company credits. One tank is required for each mission.

These tanks can only be purchased using FC credits. The ability to use these credits is controlled, and usually not given to everyone (and not everyone is even in a FC). They can't be sold. I think they can be traded but I'm not sure.

Looks like getting a FC airship exploration PT together will be a PITA and particularly painful if you are not in any FC (such as might be the case if trying to fill an airship PT through the PF).

I usually buy 99 at a time and stuff them in the FC chest where people can access them as needed.
It's not very difficult to hand out. They're tradable and easily stacked.

Just don't let a blm near one.

Good suggestion. Won't help you when trying to fill out a PT using PF with those from other FC's and those w/o a free company at all will likely find it tough to get a PT to accept them.

Note that it is not the same tank that we use to send the ships out on voyages. (So don't go hog wild buying extras for exploration ;).

Ya having fuel tanks to do content?!?!? That's so lame, they should use hourglasses instead!

I'm hoping they might have meant *Grand* Company credits or I foresee some bitching ahead. What about those 'super-FCs' with, say 250 members, all wanting to go on airship adventures every two hours? That's a hell of a lot of ceruleum tanks & credits!

Mission Tank is only 80 credits, I don't forsee an FC having too much of an issue keeping up with those.

"Ishgardian Exploratory Missions
Players can also journey to the Diadem via Ishgardian airships. Players can undertake Isghardian exploratory missions solo or in a party of up to eight people. Each player of the party must have a mission ceruleum voucher in their possession, which can be purchased from the NPC Jaquoinie in the Pillars (X:14 Y:10) for gil. One voucher is required for each mission. There are no role requirements when entering as a full party. However, parties with less than eight players must adhere to the standard composition of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS."

For those in an FC, well, it's a matter of trust. Deal with it.

Seems to me that the best thing would have been to allow these Ishgardian ceruleum vouchers to also be used for the FC ships (and vice versa I suppose).

Well... It doesn't really make sense in-game. I mean, in Ishgard you're renting passenger space on some NPC's airship, and the vouchers are pretty much your tickets to pay the NPC back for having fuelled his ship up. But for the FC airship explorations, you're going out with your own airship, so why would you pay yourself with a ticket/voucher instead of just getting the fuel straight up? ^^;

Great - now who is going to stay online to guarantee a steady supply? Has to be someone with company credit purchasing powers. Can be a bit rough for those of us who play on servers in different time zones who only have company officers of the opposite zone. I still think that it should have been via gil at the FC Junkmonger or via GC credits.

Can you simply not have someone buy a bunch and put them in the FC chest for people to use later?
You're asking other people to try to negotiate the way your FC is run. I don't think that's how your internal politics should be working. Externally, that is.
