Thanks for the distances! But, where's the confirmation of Ferberite?

Heeeyar!



EDITED LIES: 9x of those 18x Aetherochemical Fiber were found in 23 as well.

Heeeyar!

9x of those 18x Aetherochemical Fiber were found in 23 as well.

I appreciate the confirmation! I still think it's wrong, so it's likely either a typo on SE's part, or they have 23 flagged as actually being 25 internally. Patterns are a thing! They should continue! I wonder if that means 25 will drop Birch? Anyway, I know it isn't important, but I'm obsessive and like my patterns ^^;


EDIT: Err, wait, how can 9x of those Aetherochemical Fibers be from 23? Your log shows Ferberite and Cassia logs from 23. Are you saying you obtained three items drops from one sector in a single run?



Xenora - before 3.2, drop rates for materia IVs in sectors 11-22 were about 4x as high as drop rates for materia IIIs in those sectors. I wonder if the addition of grade V materia to some of those sectors has taken the chance for Vs directly from the IVs? Actually, has anyone obtained a (non-DoL/DoH) IV materia from sectors 18+ since 3.2 dropped? I don't think I've seen any reports of IVs, just IIIs and Vs...

Just went back and checked the actual log (I had taken the ss before your post) and it turns out I'm talking out of my finely molded posterior. It was 2x separate drops of 9x fibers at Sector 15, which was the first stop on that flight.

Okay, thanks, that makes more sense!

(The reason I was doubting the pattern-breaking Ferberite is because mistakes like this where a drop from one sector is thought to be from another are super easy to make!)

Ask, and ye shall receive:

Strictly speaking, SC01 is #0, and said offset continues until Diadem (Hard) appears in the list. SC23 is then #23, and SC24 is #24. There does not appear to be any additional sectors beyond that.

While I now have 23 and 24 unlocked, I won't have a ship return for 13+ hours, so I unfortunately can't answer your other question :x

You can just check navigational charts on one of your airships without needing to recall it I thought.

You can do that to find the distance from home to a sector, but unless I'm missing something, since you can't plot a course in that view, you can't see a sector to sector distance (23 to 24 in this case).

You can plot a course, and I already took a screenshot of the distance between 23 and 24, the distance is 19 + 13 from surv.

Also, to further support the theory that unlocking sector is RNG, here's the result of one of my low surveillance airships:





And for anyone gathering drop rate data of iron voyage spoil, I'm at 1 spoil out of 12 voyages so far.

You can plot a course,

Weird, I must be missing something because if I view the navigational charts for an airship that's already on a voyage, I can't plot a course, I can only see the home-to-sector distances.
