Airship Guide

[Nyalia]

Also, the quick reference guide now has a tab with a map on it, courtesy of the captain of the Gaelicat. I'll have to check with him again, but last I heard, he did not have coordinates for the sectors missing from that map yet. I wish it were easier to annotate the map... once it's complete (ie: once I have coords for the other sectors), I'll convert it to an image so I can mark it up. It might reveal a pattern for the unique items - I'm really curious if there is one.


EDIT: Using an older post to add new info to curtail my post spam:

I believe I know what the "High Quality" and "Several High Quality" messages mean. I could be totally wrong - we haven't been tracking HQ status. I think that some items are marked as "High Quality" and some are not. Regardless, if the item itself is HQ, the quality increases by one step. So, if an item would not normally have the "High Quality" message, if you get HQ items, the message states that they are "High Quality." If the item is one that is already marked "High Quality," then the message changes to "Several High Quality" instead.

That said, I don't think there are any items that are not naturally "High Quality" that even have HQ versions, so who knows if an HQ non-"High Quality" item would list as being "High Quality" or not.

The items marked as naturally "High Quality" appear to be oddly chosen. As far as I can tell, the common crafting materials are all "High Quality." If you get, say, NQ Birch Branches, it'll say they are "High Quality." If you get HQ Birch Branches, it'll say they are "Several High Quality."

Marked as naturally High Quality:

• Common crafting materials (NQ = "High Quality," HQ = "Several High Quality")
• FC crafting materials (NQ = "High Quality," HQ = "Several High Quality")
• Unique housing/minion crafting materials (no HQ versions exist as far as I know, as that would be meaningless)

Not naturally High Quality:

• Materia
• Crystals
• Schematic materials (including Dusk Leather)

Please, please let me know if what I said above is wrong. Again, we haven't been tracking NQ/HQ status in the spreadsheet, so it's hard to verify the above. But I'm pretty sure all HQ items have had "Several" in the message.

What does this mean? Well, if it's correct, it means we can ditch the "Rare?" column(s) in the spreadsheet, as they are meaningless. The category of the item would determine what that message said.
