Airship Guide

[Malakai]

My ship is rank 50 and only have sector 1-10. I kept doing 6 and 10 to unlock 11 and 12 but they never shown up. What's wrong with it?

What airship parts do you have equipped on your rank 50? It's all RNG based on when it unlocks but to unlock higher area's you'll need higher survey. So if you are using Bronco parts still then switch to Invincible or Enterprise forecastle after making one of those and it should increase the chances of unlocking the next areas.

so... motes anyone?



I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw this result... holy!

What were your ship stats? Retrieval mainly

[Kalia]

Here you go.

[MeridaQ]

just kidding, found it :3

[ServerCollaps]

idk, all that retrieval makes no sense imo. My crap ships with low retrieval often come back with way more sutff than my fore+astcastle tatanoras

crap ship B rating = 16 control IV materia
"perfect" ship S rating = always less than 10 control IVs >_>

[Jeycht]

I don't know if everyone already know it but I have a nice road for craft materia that i'sn't listed in first post.
Range 98: Sector 7>17>13.
Work well with the "Frugal Flier"

You can obtain 1x Craft materia III and 2x Craft materia IV.

I just share it if someone care. o/

I want to maximize the retrieval of Crafting IV's Materia from all 4 of my Airships, from the end-game builds I feel that the Treasure Hunter is the best build, I don't mind building all of my Airships the same if they can consistently visit Sector 13 & 17 and bring back some good IV's

[PROBOUND]

Imo the best build can travel to 13 & 17 in 57hrs.

Since I'm the only one in my FC who sends out airships and I'm unable to log into game for ~16 hour stretches between sleep and work, I find the best build+routes are ones that wind up multiples of 24 hours. Otherwise, the ship ends up sitting there for a long time doing nothing rather often. Currently considering redesigning all of my ships around this idea...

What I've been doing though until then is sending two out just 13->17, and the third one to semi-random sectors looking for other items (mostly shrub seedlings, 'cause topiaries). The last one sits at home and looks pretty so people can run diadem HM. I'm tempted to see if I can finagle a useful ~20 hour trip for that ship so there can be a window of time that people can run diadem, so people can still run it but the ship isn't being useless otherwise.
