Airship Guide

[Nyalia]

Just curious, which parts have you upgraded so far, and in what order? Just anecdotal evidence, but we upgraded our forecastle first (not sure if i'd recommend that) and we always seemed to find new sectors at a pace that held steady with our rank. Others have thought that Surveillance players an important role.

None. We didn't get our first Bamboo drop until just before I posted that, and we haven't had a chance to build the new parts yet. We never found bamboo going 01 -> 03. We only found it when I switched to the less exp-efficient 02 -> 03, and they were found in 02. We have two full stacks of Vivianite though, and I think one of Red Moko Grass!

We're upgrading Surveillance first though, which should be done soon. I could have just done it all myself while the majority of my FC was asleep, but it's more fun to work with people and spread out the work.

Awesome! Let us know if you notice a difference after upgrading the forecastle!! If you do unlock sector(s), it will be the best support yet that surveillance (or favor?) is important.

You might be interested to know that materials such as balsa or bambo can be traded. Even if they arent listed on the mb you can still obtain some from another player; if you know someone that has spare/is willing to sell them.

That is quite interesting, I'm tempted to add it to my "quick tips" section because it is a bit unexpected and could really help some folks out!

We can pretty much confirm you need to clear the rank 20 area, Sector 8. We just unlocked it today (21 -> 22), and will know tomorrow morning. Some got lucky unlocking it earlier I guess.

I haven't heard of anyone unlocking it before 22, have you? And thanks for the report, I'll add it to my list!

My FC has the Rank 25 airship, and we cleared sectors 1 through 9, currently otw to 10, and we did not unlock the 2nd airship.

Thanks for this report, it really adds to the mystery. And I like that you've included which sectors you've unlocked, that rules out any of the sectors 1-9 as being the necessary component.
