    What mats should I hold in my FC chest for FC projects?

    Hello all \o I'm currently sorting out my company chest so the mats for FC projects are stored in there but I'm curious to see what mats I should store in there. Most of the stuff seems like mining, *mainly been working on Airships* so I've been stocking up on Ores and what not for it.

    I've made it so that Chest 3 contains mining mats and Chest 2 contains BNT mats but I rarely if ever see things needed like Yew branch, etc for it so I'm just wondering is making Chest 2 just for BNT a more waste of space?

    What mats should I stock up on more?

    Coke. I have used like 5000 Coke making FC airship parts. It's ridiculous how much you use. Also Darksteel Ore. Literally use thousands of em lol.

    oh dear 12 that part I know of XD yeah Coke is a pain to get, it's ridiculous how much coke you need. It wouldn't be so bad if you could buy multi stacks of coke from GC's but it's the fact that you buy 1 at a time that makes it a pain.

    Tons of Coke. Hardened Sap, Animal Fat, Aqueous Whetstones, and Peacock Ore are also used. As far as regular mats, Spruce Logs, Gold Ore, Darksteel Ore, Cobalt Ore, Electrum Ore, and Raw Amber are used for quite a few of the components.

    When you go to get regular mats, make sure you can access the Amal'jaa vendor as a ton can be bought directly from him.

    Instead of putting just tons of coke in the box, if you are able to also collect darksteel ore and synth them into darksteel ingots, I would just do that to conserve space. 9 stacks of coke + 6 stacks of darksteel ore can be compressed into 1 stack of ingots.

    If by some chance you end up with more ingots than you can use, you can also HQ them in sets of 5 and sell them on the markets for any of those poor saps that didn't get their BSM/ARM mastercraft books yet. >

    Tip: Material < lvl40 -> Sell

    You can buy every lumber/log/ingot/ore/rivet/plate up to Mythril (Amalja) and Oak (Ixali) from tribe NPCs if you're maxxed on reputation.

    The only thing you need from Botanist are Dark Chestnut and some Hallowed Chestnut as well as Ancient Lumber, Spruce and Flax (for those Linseed Oils youll need to make Varnish)

    Other then those the most recurring materials will be the ones your ships bring back - Vivianite, Raw Celestine, Cassia Logs, Chemically Treated Chimera Hides - but dont keep more then a stack of those, you'll need max 27 of each for one part.

    Decide early which airship configurations you want and get rid of stuff you wont need (like that red moko grass if you're not using Odyssey Bladder or an Enterprise Bladder)

    Oh, and get Cobalt Ores - tons of them, if you got a mining Retainer make yourself 400-500 ingots, youll need them in the end XD
