    Component name: The Mystery Box

    Everyone is so preoccupied with power, prestige, and precision handling when it comes to their exploration voyages. Do you know what I say to that? Just forget it! You're all missing the fundamental spirit of exploration: to discover the unknown. For that reason, I've created the most modern of marvels to remind you why you're going on that journey in the first place.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you--

    The Mystery Box.



    What's inside of the Mystery Box, you ask? What can such a humble box contain that would thrill you and chill you? Well, I don't really know. And you're not going to know, either, because you're not supposed to open it. But, allow me to expand your awareness by telling you how I came to conceive and create this miraculous component for your airship.



    The first thing I had to do was meditate in the placid waters of Forgotten Springs, surrounded on all sides by some of the finest minds. They were rather interested in my creative process, the ardor and rigor of my mind. I basked in their presence, straining with all my might to crack the mysteries of creation. It wasn't long before I had a divine vision of creating the Mystery Box with my own two hands.



    From there, I had to fill the Mystery Box with mysterious ingredients. I visited one of the greatest sources of mystery known to Eorzea: The Last Remnant, a floating island in Azys Lla. "What's behind this lonely, forgotten place?" I murmured to myself. "What, exactly, is the last remnant...? And what happened to the rest of them?"

    After digging the mysteries straight out of the ground, I pieced together the Mystery Box. It was an exhausting process, lasting more than ten seconds, wherein I transferred several mysteries into the container. When you shake the Mystery Box, you might hear rattling akin to small pebbles or clumps of dirt--but you shouldn't be fooled! That's prime, grade-A mysteriousness, and it will always remind you of why you're an intrepid explorer.

    Come on down to my home in the Lavender Beds to pick up your own Mystery Box. For only fourteen easy installments of 14,000 gil, you can be the talk of the town! Supplies are limited, my friends. You must act now. Act now before it's too late.

    Disclaimer: For external use only. Do not use in the shower. Do not use while sleeping. Do not place this product near any aetherial equipment. This product cannot be used to protect any part of your body. May contain small parts. Keep out of reach of Lalafell and annoying children. Do not turn upside down. Side effects may include curiosity, irregular heartbeat, excessive sweating, and concerns that you were ripped off.

    Component name: Goblin Smelting Furnace

    As rumors have it, Mutamix Bubblypots is the only living creature with the skill that can transmute Materia into other forms of Materia. What people don't know, is that Mutamix has kept a secret about his "Skill".



    With some investigative work, with the help of the greatest detective to grace Eorzea, Detective Hildibrand, It was discovered that Mutamix has found long lost "Goblin Coal Fragments" and has kept them hidden in piles of junk around Eorzea.



    The secret in is the coal, found in Mutamix's piles of junk. once added to a smelting furnace, it has the ability to change Materia and even Items to other forms of themselves. Just imagine changing those Deep Red Clusters to Deep Green Clusters, or changing that piece of armor from leather to plate. The possibilities are endless.



    With the coal in hand, the last step was to return to the Company workshop and start work on modifying the Airships cargo hold to house a furnace strong enough to handle to ancient powers of these long lost Goblin Coal Fragments.

    A story to go with the airship component and some nostalgia from old times.

    December 4, 2010, Pre-Calamity
    A pair of aspiring crafting friends makes a vow to invent one of the best airships to sail into the unknown. They part ways to and plan to reconvene in three years. They were to be the best ever in the world!



    (This Image was captured in 1.0 crafting gear in memory of a friend)

    Her research was going well until the calamity after which she learned her friend had passed. She fell into despair and wondered aimlessly and only started picking up the pieces with after finding Cid and eventually seeing and flying the Mana Cutter. She decided to reflect on what she had learned over her travels and went to her favorite spot to think with green tea to sip on.
    She knew it was going to take hard work and determination and set out to find the best materials. Some to be mined from the cold depths of Corethas



    Once she had her materials she poured into a grand crafting setup with some of her most trusted team members. Being sure to lock off innocent bystanders from getting hurt. She and her team worked into the night.



    Finally with success and a great deal of crystals they had success, creating the Aetheric Warp Drive
    Upon testing the drive while it boosted the speed considerably it increased the wear and tear of the of the airship itself. Upon inspection there was an additional 45% damage to airship however it completed in almost 1/2 the time.

    Component name: Leviathan Barbed Bow(front of the airship)

    Have you ever been on a long expedition voyage and finding out far into your journey that you've forgotten to pack food for your crew?
    Fear not for i have a solution to prevent great woe!

    With my component you will be able to get food with your airship.



    The first thing that I did was i fought the great primal Leviathan.
    Upon defeating the sea serpent i removed all the barbs from his body.

    Next i traveled to the port city Limsa Lominsa where i sought out the master of the blacksmith guild Brithael. There I requested for him to attach the barbs to the front of my ship. He agreed and was able to do it after i procured the materials that he required and I payed a hefty amount of gil.



    Now all I needed was information from an expert fisherman about where I would be able to find schools of sky fish.



    He told me that Ishgard is the place to find them and that is where i journeyed to prepare for my future expeditions.



    Now if you ever run out of food in the skies and your crew starts getting all rowdy from hunger you can use your airship as spear and catch some sky fish with my component.

    I Recall all the times being pelted by the Garlean’s and various baddies trying to explore the realm. Much unpleasant. There much be a safer way to fly across the skies of Eorzea undetected, so why not a disguise? Hence! Out airships needs to be fashioned in a Chocobo outfit!


    First to gather a mountainous quantity of Chocobo feather. Those brilliantly reflective feathers will perbfectly cover the surface of the ship. But with all these discarded feathers we’d need some fresh feathers with their strength and lustrous glow intact.


    Plucked from the rear of some very feisty Chocobos…


    And finally…

    To Crafting many, many ingots of Titanium Ingots for the super structure that will envelop the air ship.

    Component: Aether Battery Reserves

    There is no doubt that each individual component of an airship is of utmost importance when striving to build the best vehicle to soar the skies. However, the fuel you use to power that airship is of equal importance - plainly put, you need an exceptional battery of aether to drive your long voyages. After all, the ultimate airship should rightly require the ultimate fuel! And to that end...I pondered where to obtain nothing but the best.


    The Void Ark is rumored to have an extremely powerful fuel source to make it cruise the skies...let's try harnessing some of that.

    Needless to say it did not go quite as planned...

    Luckily, an associate of mine tipped me off about this wonderful place called the Diadem - a place where you can find bountiful harvests of just about any resource your heart desires. They regaled me with a tale of the largest aether crystal they have ever seen! So of course I had to check it out for myself...

    I'm going to need to enlist some help hauling this...
