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.

So here's a question for the people having this problem, are the sectors there and just greyed out? I just went to deal with our airship and only grabbed 1 cereleum tank because I wasn't going to send it out. Another member hadn't done it in a few days and wanted to see it. Anyway, what I saw was that only sectors 1-4 were highlighted with 1 cereleum tank in my inventory, because the higher level ones require more tanks. maybe this will solve one or two of the problems some of you are having.

That would be unfortunately. I just finished building the third part, I was waiting for the airship to return to install it. ;( Oh well, time to gather more mats then.

Ship Builder Tool
Go here and click File -> Make a Copy to get your own Ship Builder tool.

This has all the current parts on it, so make sure to go to the ship builder tab on that document, ensure the ship you're editing is set to rank 50 and then you can adjust the parts to see if they'll all work. You want to be at or below 61 build points. Good luck to you, wish I had managed to catch you before you started building, I know those parts are costly!

Has anyone gotten Red or Black Clay as a reward from airship expeditions yet? I'm starting to think they dont exist..

We got some from our most recent expedition. 3 Red Clay from Sector 7 (rank 17 area).

Drop lists to contribute

Sector 6: Deep Green Crystal

Thank you, first we've seen of some of these! Keep the reports coming!

Added; I've also added more information to the 2nd airship question. At least one airship has been rank 25 and still no 2nd airship. It could be there is some RNG to it, and there is just a possibility after rank 20? Thoughts?

The above two posts seem to imply that the route doesn't matter that much... Well, when/if we unlock 4, I'll post the route that did it.

I can confirm that you get these via airship exploration, forgot to check which sector they came from but it had to have come from 2,4,5.

We discovered sector 11 today, but it did not show it in the voyage log about unlocking a sector. Anyone else had this bug?

Edit: Craftman's command materia III drop from sector 3.
