In-game Item: Bluebird Earrings
Component name: Hull of the Heavens' Ward

What's the use in traveling fast if you don't have enough range to cover multiple destinations? I believe I've come up with the best possible Hull any Airship could possibly hope to be outfitted with.

Allow me to introduce to you the Hull of the Heavens' Ward!

For me, facing King Thordan and his Knights Twelve was no joke. He was able to cut through the thick skies of Azys Lla, after all. However, in the long run, the victory I claimed was all the worthwhile. He fell by my Axe, and I claimed his Sword for my experimentation in flight dynamics back at my Free Company's workshop.

Of course, only the finest metals would work with a project like this. And the vast expanse of Thanalan's wilderness has all sorts of metals in great abundance. I needed to gather plenty of Bomb Ash in the Sagolii Desert to help bind the metal plates together. Then I traveled to Northern Thanalan for Cobalt Ore to help reinforce the Hull further.



Concentration was critical during the Hull's construction. I made it a point to craft the key materials on the roof of my Free Company's house. No one was able to disturb me up there. And what's more, I could feel the movement of the winds as I crafted, and gain inspiration from the open air. Thus, I could shape the pieces of the Hull accordingly.



With a Hull like this, no destination in the Sea of Clouds will be unreachable for you!
