Airship Guide

[ColdestHeaven]

Hey guys, thanks for the guide - I've been following it since ages even though it took me a while to understand what each stat did (and most importantly, how the trips worked...the distance thingie always looked strange), and it's been very helpful so far.

However, I've had a problem for about three weeks straight: I've been sending the ship repeatedly to sectors 13, 14 and 15 in order to unlock sector 19 and find the last Aetherochemical Fiber (as in: we have 13 of them and have been missing the 14th for weeks) to unlock the Tatanora set. Thing is, neither of these things are happening - so either I'm having horrible luck or there is something I'm doing wrong. In that case, I have no idea what it is.

It is possible that the build (which I can't remember right now, I'll have to wait tomorrow) far from optimal for either of those things, yet I'm having a hard time understanding which stats I should prioritize. Is the Fiber counted as a second drop (thus Favor?), is it confirmed that Surveillance helps with finding new sectors?

It is just bad luck. I had the same problem trying to find SE18 from SE17.

Had the same problem, was stuck on 12/14 fibers for 2 weeks - just search for one via Party Finder - offer 200k or so and youll most likely get one within the hour at prime time - worked for me and my first Ship is using its tatanora heal wisely ;3

Sector 22 has Deep-Blue Clusters. Here is a pic of our Trip there.

I can concur with the bad luck. Running airships on 8 FC I have definitely gotten a feel for the RNG. My first FC to have a 50 airship had a 3-week lead on my 2nd-8th FC getting a 50 airship. Some RNG later, my first FC ended up being the 3rd one to unlock S01-S22 with all components being equal. Currently I have one FC that has been unsuccessful unlocking S17 or S19 for over a month now and have 3 other FC which are all around 0/10+ on S17 unlock. I swear some airships are piloted by Mr. Magoo.

Funny how we've only seen them coming from sector 16

Already had SS over two months ago and not from S16

We just sold 14 Aetherochemical Fiber to another FC for 700k (50k each). PF is your friend!

Got HQ Deep Blue Clusters from sector 22.

I updated the logs spreadsheet to use a drop-down for item-entry. This way, you can start typing in the name of an item, and it'll jump right to the item. If you somehow find something that isn't in the list, please put it down as "Other" and explain what it is in the Notes column.

This should make entering logs faster and more convenient!
