Airship Guide

Your coming at it from the wrong angle. Think more along the lines of gaining many more in addition to the amount gain from beastman tribes. You can gain 12 from beastman tribes a day, much more if combine that with airship voyages.

Are you saying you can get 12 crafting/gathering T4 materia a day? How are you doing this from beast tribes? I see us only get 3 a day.

I never said got 12 DoH/DoL ones from beastman tribes. I collect as many T4's of 'all types' as possible including from airships and beastman tribes plus fish deysnths then convert them all north of black bush station into quite often DoH/DoL T4's and sometimes T5's. The fact can gain additional T4's from airships is a good thing in my opinion alongside those from beastman tribes and those from gathering/deysnths plus soulbind conversions.

Okay that is what I thought you meant but I was double checking. Also the loss of airships as being useful is not supplemented with beast tribe tier 4s. Yes we can go and spirit bind whole sets of gear to convert, but the problem lies in the fact that we are losing a reason to use airships for materia and losing their viability overall because of this. Why would SE want to make this fall out of favor is the question. I have airships going out all the time to try and get materia to supplement my FC's melding. Just today we lost 45 CP 4's to the 5th slot of one of the new Ironworks (it still isn't pentamelded). With the low retrieval on materia in combination with RNG there is no way for the ten crafters in the FC to be able to meld fully. (they all spirtibond, MB, and Ixal) So I don't see the reason in the nerf.

Don't really know about you guys, but even if it's less often than before i still get between 12-30 lvl IV materias regularly. So still worth it for me.
