  1. Airship Landing, Foundation – The Pillars, at X:15 and Y:11
  2. The Lavender Beds, also known as Senna’s Pride, may be found at X:7. Y:3
  3. X: 1 and Y:2 for The Goblet – Goblet Exchange Subdivision
  4. X:1 and Y:3 The Mist, located in the Mist Beach Subdivision
  5. Shirogane – Akanegumo Bridge, X:9 Y:13

Any place will function as long as you have the Token because all of the locations share their inventories.

The real process of acquiring the Iron Voyage Spoil token will be the one that requires some effort on your part.

Iron Voyage There is only one way to acquire spoils, and that is through Free Company Airship Voyages.

Expeditions to the Sea of Clouds, more specifically Sector 24.

To add insult to injury, the Iron Voyage Spoil is not a guaranteed reward for completing the Quest.

Cassia Log1 – 24
Dark Chestnut Branch20 – 27

Savage Aim Materia III, IV, or V21 – 29, 6, 1
Quickarm Materia III, IV, or V26 – 36, 13 – 26, 3

Sector 24 And More In The Sea Of Clouds

When first deployed, all airships are at Rank 1.

In order to advance in the game, you will need to have them go on a number of Voyages.

A final stop on a long list of potential locations, Sector 24 is the furthest.

Also, these are all accessible after completing earlier Sectors.

Below is a handy chart detailing the various unlocks, as well as the corresponding Ranks, that are necessary to obtain them.

An advantage is that you can acquire new Airships as you go.

Therefore, you can send your entire Zu Mount squad to Sector 24.

They’ll all need separate components and Flight Credits though.

Also keep in mind that Airships do have stats that fluctuate according to components.

As your journey into the Sea of Clouds continues, you will inevitably need to make repairs or replacements.

But be patient too, as each trip can take up to two full days.

With a little bit of luck, you’ll wind up with a handful of Iron Voyage Spoils to acquire your Zu.
