Our airships finally discovered the last sector of their exploration map, sector 18! This means that as soon as we manage to visit it (by early Wednesday morning) we will be able to christen our fourth and final airship. It will be named the EDEN in accordance with the member poll we ran last month.
Now that this task is complete, I am putting the Highwind on permanent Diadem duty. The ship will be left in dock to be available for gathering or gear grinding trips to the Diadem. All officers, as well as members at rank Flare Warrior and above, may take the ship out to the Diadem at any time. If you would like to know how to do this, just ask and I'll show you (it's not difficult.) The first FC Diadem Hard run took place late tonight (Monday 1/26) and was very successful; speak to Quelana Izalith if you wish to go along on future trips. We are also looking for someone to organize a second weekly Diadem Hard trip at an earlier hour for those who can't be up late; if anyone is interested in taking on this job, speak to me and I'll get you set up!
I plan to use the other three ships to farm the exploration region for profitable items we can sell to benefit the FC. So far we have made just shy of a milllion gil for the FC selling materia retrieved by our ships; once we have all four of them leveled to 50 and outfitted, they should provide a consistent source of income for the FC (RNGesus willing!)
Over the next few weeks I will be working to create the ship parts we will need to outfit our craft. Keep an eye on the FC Chat for ways you can help! As I've mentioned before, even if you have a crafter at level 1 with no gear, there are still things you can do to help make crafting progress in the workshop.
