Airship Guide

[BonzaiFerroni]

Awesome thread Thank you!. It's nice to see something helpful once and a while as opposed to all of the other negative threads on this forum.

I appreciate the feedback! I was inspired by Nyalia's desynthesis guide, it really is the go-to best-ever guide for desynthesis! No reason a guide of that quality can't be on the official forum, so that's what I'm trying to work toward

Hey guys, I have an interesting problem that I need more data on. I've read about other people's speculation that some items are higher tier than others, and I've found that in the flight log sometimes it gives the following messages when an item is discovered:

• _______________ discovered.
• High-quality _____________ discovered.

Unfortunately this hadn't captured my attention before so I haven't included this distinction in my notes up until now. So, I'm not sure which items from each sector are high-quality. It would also be reaaaally nice to do some testing based on stats changes to see if any stats influence high-quality or not! In your flight logs, will you look at which items have that distinction and let us know what you find?

Edit: To clear up any confusion, this "high-quality" distinction is different from whether or not the item is HQ or NQ.

maybe the specific combination of ship parts helped boost odds at unlocking 2nd ship?

You need high rank forecastle and low rank aftcastle to maximize surveillance, for example.

Thanks for all the info!

There's something more than Rank 20+ required to unlock second airship.

Our airship, the InvinciDERP (don't ask) went from 19 -> 22 in the last expedition, but didn't unlock second slot yet. It's outfitted with full Invincible components, so stats are 80 all around

It might be worth noting that out of the sectors I've got unlocked, 6 is the closest to the newly unlocked sector 11. And I discovered 11 right after going to 6.


For anyone interested in sector 11: it has a silver icon instead of a bronze one, and 3 stars underneath it. Requires 4 ceruleum barrels.

Ooh, yeah, I like this theory. Maybe this is why I couldn't find sector 04 when I kept spamming 01 -> 03?

Any updates on that by the way? Did you find sector 4 eventually?

It's only been a day! Due to the timing of maintenance, we didn't get the part finished before sending our ship out again. So, I'll let you know. Waiting a full day to get results before re-running an experiment may be totally reasonable in real world experimentation, but it's sooo annoying in a game xD Gimmie delicious data now, dang it!

I'm going to set up a spreadsheet for my FC's adventures to record what happened. I'll throw a link here later, if others want to enter data too.

That would be reaaaaally great \o/ I would add our data to it!

When our ship was rank 25, we had cleared 1 though 8, and it was otw to 8.
It just returned from 5>6>7>8, hit rank 27, and we unlocked the 2nd ship now.

It seems to me that visiting sector 8 does the trick.

Thanks for clearing that up, and I think you are right!

Sector 8: Raw Celestine

Our airship hit 23 today after a solo expedition in Sector 8. Nothing about the log seemed notable but I guess it just decided to let us make airship number 2 now. I don't really understand why but ok. Enterprise propeller, all other parts Invincible. Sectors 1-8 cleared.
