I had no idea this could happen but I just got my first "SS" Rank. Also... 66 Gathering IV materia. Good grief!

What components do you have on Ragnarok?

What components do you have on Ragnarok?

Hull - Invincible II
Rigging - Bronco (firm believer in always using the worst Rigging possible)
Forecastle - Odyssey
Aftcastle - Odyssey

Right now the trips are taking about 100 Hours but its an S Rank almost every time.

That's my setup that i'm planning to do for the fleet. Enough to hit everything with every airship. Also, Bronco rigging is a godsend for small FCs as we're only able to handle about at most a total consumption of 20 fuel/day without having a credit deficit right now.

If you don't mind answering, how long was the overall travel for an airship with that speed?

Probably really close to 93 hours!

One thingy to keep in mind is that using your Aetherial Wheel Stand can save your company up to 3,000 - 4,000 Credits per day on activating company actions! If you're large enough to sustain a daily company action, then you can probably support 3-4 Airships at once with the Credits you save

I have an airship hitting up the big boy sectors (18>17>21>20) on bronco sails and it is a 156 hour trip ^^;

Considering that double sector trips (18>17) with Odyssey sails were taking 55 hours or so it doesn't seem so bad really.

Which sectors did you send it to? I can see 16 on the screenshot but I'd be curious to know about the others

I'm interested in this as well. I see synthetic resin there which points to sector 13 (As far as I know it's the only sector with this item from Bonzai's chart). There are also chimera hides and cassia logs which can come from those sectors. The battle materia are what suggests at least a 3rd sector. This info plus the info from the Pom Exploration group on flight distances might help explain why they're looking at 100+ hour trips Their flight path is pretty non-linear

Edit: Can a ship return more than 2 retrievals from a sector? If we assume no, that means the Cassia logs did not come from sector 16 which would suggest either sector 14 or 15 was visited in this trip which is consistent with finding heaven's eye or savage aim materia.

The sectors I went to were 14, 13, 16.

14 to get Cassia Logs for the Tatanora, 13 to unlock Sector 15, and 16 to unlock Sector 17.

whats your success rate with unlocking new sectors with your airship build? is it down to rng in your opinion or do you find new ones fast?
