Airship Guide

In case someone hasn't mentioned this yet, experience needed from rank 35 -> 36 is 295,384.



EDIT:
In the Airship Logs spreadsheet, under the Ship Builder tab, the formulas for the Forecastle are wrong (currently show the stats for the same tier as whichever Aftcastle is selected).

The Forecastle column formula should be:

=iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!$D$2:$I,'Ship Parts'!$A$2:$A=E$3,'Ship Parts'!$B$2:$B=E$2),1,row($B6)-row($B$5)),0)

instead of:

=iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!$D$2:$I,'Ship Parts'!$A$2:$A=F$3,'Ship Parts'!$B$2:$B=E$2),1,row($B6)-row($B$5)),0)

Also, the Build Points formula in G3 needs updating as well.

=concatenate(sum(iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!D2:D,'Ship Parts'!A2:A=C3,'Ship Parts'!B2:B=C2),1,1),0),iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!D2:D,'Ship Parts'!A2:A=D3,'Ship Parts'!B2:B=D2),1,1),0),iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!D2:D,'Ship Parts'!A2:A=F3,'Ship Parts'!B2:B=E2),1,1),0),iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!D2:D,'Ship Parts'!A2:A=F3,'Ship Parts'!B2:B=F2),1,1),0))," / ",11+B3)

Should be:

=concatenate(sum(iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!D2:D,'Ship Parts'!A2:A=C3,'Ship Parts'!B2:B=C2),1,1),0),iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!D2:D,'Ship Parts'!A2:A=D3,'Ship Parts'!B2:B=D2),1,1),0),iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!D2:D,'Ship Parts'!A2:A=E3,'Ship Parts'!B2:B=E2),1,1),0),iferror(index(filter('Ship Parts'!D2:D,'Ship Parts'!A2:A=F3,'Ship Parts'!B2:B=F2),1,1),0))," / ",11+B3)

Oops! Thanks, fixed.


EDIT: Actually, looking at it, all references to E3 were replaced by F3, and the formatting for E3 is incorrect and it has F3's formatting instead. I think someone used cut/paste in a way that messed up the formulas... Please don't use ctrl-v/ctrl-x in the spreadsheet. Instead, rightclick and choose "paste special -> paste values only" if you want to copy/paste... Otherwise stuff like this happens because Google is helpful.

EDIT2: Yeah, that's definitely what happened. The conditional formatting was also messed up, as was the "rank too low" formula that's hidden from view and which was definitely working before...

So now, our aircraft is rank 30, so we sent him to sector 11, 5 and 4 but still no sign of sector 7 for us :/

It is possible to obtain the same item twice from the same sector on the same voyage. We found 11 Red Clay and then 7 Red Clay in sector 7. We discorvered both sector 8 and sector 13, after 3 weeks of searching for sector 8 (airship at rank 34 and full enterprise). Unlocked tier 5 airship parts (Odyssey) aswell. That is what I call a comeback

2 pieces of Dusk Leather from a trip to this spot.

Awesome and helpful guide! Thanks for doing this.

So today we obtained S rating from sector 17 and got 15 Toy Box Schema (optimal retrieval) and 7 HQ Red Cluster (several high level retrieval). I might think the retrieval level in logs (normal, sub-normal, high, optimal) have something to do with Rating and exp bonus. I have seen it clearly from our last 20 or so airship voyage.

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.

[LillithCale]

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
