Airship Guide

Has anyone tried to calculate how "rare" the rare items are for each sector? It looks like on Phoenix, a total of 4 Far eastern coins were found since HW launch... the drop rate seems abysmal. Are we just unlucky?

In my last 2 voyages I've gotten a total of 14 Far Eastern Coins (7 each time) from Sector 16, so I think you're just getting unlucky. My airship build, FYI, was Invincible Hull, Enterprise Rigging, Invincible-II Forecastle, Tatanora Aftcastle.

Sea of Clouds - Sector 17, 18, 19 - Requires Surveillance Level 90

We lost our omni crafter, so we been a bit behind on airship parts. I just ran into this today.

I have two quick questions and this was the best place I could think we ask.

--If we already have 22 and 21 unlocked, do we have to visit them to unlock hard, or will it already be unlocked?

--Can we do exploratory voyages and exploratory missions at the same time? I haven't had time to poke around on anything in game to find out if this is possible or not.


Also: Received 4 wind silk from Sector 17. No idea what they are used for yet. http://imgur.com/2s6AXds

You can't do the hard mode unless your airship has been sent to sector 22 to 21 and discover the mode. Even if you've already discovered them you need to send the airship there.

And you can't do both, you have to choose, exploratory missions or airship exploration. not both.


Edit< Avn> yeah but it takes almost 3 days to go there -_-

Remnants of Cetra discovered Hardmode from sector 22!

[JeromeChong]

For the sake of data, this is my third time sending out the appropriately geared ships to sector 22 and no Diadem hardmode yet.

Logged in this morning and our 1 airship unlocked diadem Hard from Sector 22

[ftom]

I had 5 motes return from a venture to Sector 6

Not sure about journey tracking but our ship hit 6 first and then went to 12

It appears you can access Diadem (Hard) by exploring sector 21. I haven't unlocked sector 22 yet, but obtained access to Diadem hard after exploring sector 21.
