Airship Guide

[Zerona]

Thank you so much for posting this guide! Do you have any idea if you have to explore specific sectors to find specific new sectors? Like, if you can only find Sector 04 while exploring Sector 03, or if it's just totally random? We're rank 11, but only have three sectors unlocked, which seems low.

I can't confirm 100% but I was in the exact same situation you describe. I had been farming the same route day after day for optimal exp but was not finding any new sectors. I finally decided to try and change up my route to a less-efficient alternative and sure enough I discovered a new sector. I have since been under the impression that certain routes have the possibility of finding certain sectors.

Do you remember the route that discovered sector 4? We did 1->3 for the longest time without finding any bamboo or new sectors. I tried 2->3 instead a couple days ago, and sure enough, we found 8 bamboo in sector 2 (OP says 1 can drop it too, but we never got it from 1 - RNG, probably). I was planning to keep doing 2->3, but if you have to do something like 2->1 or 1->2 or 2->3 (all of which are terribly inefficient for us), well, we won't find it that way.

My memory is awful but I want to say I either did 3 --> 1 or did 3 --> 2. If neither of those are options I may have simply done 3 with no other selections. I do in fact recall making a single sector flight so that very well might be the case. I need to start maintaining a captains log

*edit*
It would actually be nice if we could gather some data on what route people chose when discovering sectors so we can see if there is a correlation. I strongly feel that there is. I will start keeping notes :P

I unlock sector 4 by going from 1 -> 2. As my airship currently at rank 5, this is the only route I have since sector 4 need rank 7, and i dont have sector 3 yet (rank 4).
