Airship Guide

[MeridaQ]

I never said got 12 DoH/DoL ones from beastman tribes.

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.

While not a huge haul, and potentially not available due to other concerns, do not forget that you can get up to 18 per week (9 crafting, 9 gathering) through the red tokens. That won't be a huge windfall the way that Airships used to be, but if you have no other use for your red scrip, they are better than nothing.

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.

Not sure if it's been said already, seeing as this thread has a 101 pages by now (wow!), but when my FC moved from a medium house to a mansion, we found that the actual crafting unlocks (house glamours, ship parts building, etc) of our workshop remained unlocked. The only thing we lost destroying and rebuilding the workshop was the unlocked airships slots, their progress/rank and their sector unlocks.

Wow, so airships gear and progress are wiped to zero, but you can still have all the recipes unlocked to build things at the crafting station? That is useful information. Thanks!

Sector 4 - Fine Alumen

Can anyone confirm that sectors 11, 13, and 15 drop deep-color crystals and clusters? I've been sending a ship there for weeks trying to get materials for aetherial wheels and gotten plenty of everything listed on their drop tables except those crystals and clusters.

Got deep red crystals on one of the ships last voyages from sector 11 and 3 deep green clusters from another ship that hit sector 15, so yes they still drop there.

edit: Checked the 3rd ship that goes out and it got 9 deep green clusters from 15 as well.

Great, thank you. Just a bad run of luck for me, then.

Since no one updates the loot table anymore, then I have made my own with information from here and the newly reported items.
