Airship Guide

On a side note, the only thing I have not tested is the actual parts on my ship. I have all the ships at 59+ component setup but not all ships have a Tatanora part on it, could this be part of unlocking Diadem? Having at least 1 tatanora part on a ship?

Possibly in the future put what your ship setup was after unlocking Diadem?

Took my FC 10 trips. 4 solo trips to 22 (failed), 2 solo trips to 21 (failed), 2 trips to 21->22 (failed), 2 trips to 22->21 (unlocked on the second try).

None of my ships have tatanora parts. The one that unlocked it has an Enterprise Hull, Invincible Propellers, Odyssey forecastle, & Odyssey aftcastle.

Got Oriental Grass from Sector 14.

For the sake of data this is the 6th time my ship has come back from 21 > 22 and still no Diadem hardmode. This ship does has a tatanora piece and has since it hit 50 months before the Diadem came out. I had another ship with a tatanora pice do 17 - 18, and nothing.

SE clearly just wants the salt of my tears for their fries.

We have 4 airships rank 50. One ship has Tantanora body and forecastle on it and takes literally 5 1/2 days to go out and come back if we send it to sectors 18-22. We just did that and no unlock for diadem hard mode and it brought back junk as well (so much for that huge boost to favor and survey). Been sending the other 2 airships to 6 10 13 for chance at motes and potter stones and still nothing as well just 2 items per trip. Crystals and junk items that are no value/use (resin/clay/empty crystals). This dang RNG crap is holding up the entire workshop progress and there's only a small few stages left to do, can't buy the mats either cuz they are beyond overpriced on MB atm as well. It wouldn't be so bad if the trips didn't range from 17-32+ hours in hopes at a RNG chance at obtain an item you need. May have to start using the 1 airship saved for Diadem runs to farm as well to increase the odds.

I can also confirm we found Oriental grass as a rare drop in area 14!

I've been sending two ships now to various combinations of the higher rank sectors and since the patch has started we have still not unlocked Diadem Hard. Is it just that our parts aren't good enough? We have well over the 90 surveillance required and I'm just not sure why I'm apparently having two weeks of nasty RNG.

Don't feel bad, my fc's airships are doing the same. We've got 90 surveillance on one and 110 on two I think.

Don't worry. We just got the Special Slap rating from RNGesus today. "Oh you spent how much time and effort making those Tatanora Parts? Oh your speed is super slow cuz you have super high favor, survey, and retrieval so you can get goodies? Here ya go!" Seriously this incites me to rage.

Finally, after 2 weeks sending our airships to sector 22, we've unlock the Diadem Hard mode

Be brave guys !!
