FC Airships leave out most players?

Do you really think you're missing out on much though? Currently it is effectively the same as Retainer Ventures, it's not the most thrilling piece of content.

You may not think it's thrilling, but most of us understand that retainers are hugely important, especially for a crafter. They are not just important; they are vital.

Retainers sure are, for inventory space though, I don't think their ventures are, though. Outside something wonderful like "OMG I never have to farm shards/crystals again!", they're hardly vital. Most of the rare rewards from retainer ventures are either minions or odd materials like floss silk, which are mostly used for glamour/furniture IIRC. So far airships seem no different to me, though perhaps their rewards are more significant...

Curious, what kinds of rewards are we seeing from airships? What rewards are Free Company leaders hoarding that you'd like, exactly? Might be worth remembering that it is still early access and very few people have been focusing on things like gathering, what might seem extremely rare right now might be tomorrows Darksteel Ore...

Being able to get an assload of Kill-only materials from 8 retainers makes LTW, ALC, etc. much easier.
