Obtaining a Submersible

In order to craft a submersible, you must first obtain the required recipe from the schematic board in the company workshop. After gathering the required items, select the plan of your desired recipe. It will then be added to the company crafting log.

Submersible Performance

The combination of parts used to build a submersible will determine the distances it can travel, as well as the rewards you will receive from voyages.

When a voyage is complete, submersibles will gain experience points depending on their selected route, and eventually increase in rank. Higher rankings will allow you to outfit submersibles with new components to improve their performance on future voyages.

Registration

After obtaining the requisite components and dive credits, access the voyage control panel in the company workshop to outfit and register your submersible.

Undertaking Subaquatic Voyages

Registered submersibles can be deployed to explore uncharted waters. These explorations are carried out automatically, with submersibles returning after a fixed amount of time. Upon completion of a subaquatic voyage, you will be provided with a voyage log detailing the results. You will also receive various items depending on the results of the voyage.

It should be noted that both airships and submersibles can be deployed at the same time. However, there is a limit to the number of airships and submersibles that can be deployed simultaneously.

Ceruleum Tanks

Submersibles require ceruleum tanks to be deployed on subaquatic voyages. They can be purchased using company credits from the resident caretaker in any of the housing districts or mammet voyager #004A in a company workshop.

* Your free company must own a house before purchasing a workshop or undertaking subaquatic voyages. The size of the house has no effect on crafting or exploration.

Charting a Voyage

As you continue to deploy submersibles on voyages, you will eventually discover new areas to survey.

Housing

* The timer for auto-demolition will resume with the release of patch 4.2. Further details can be found on the Lodestone.

Wards 13 through 18 have been added to all residential districts.

The following adjustments have been made to provide more players access to housing and its features:

Plots designated for free company use will be limited to purchase by free companies with at least four members.

Individuals will be restricted from purchasing plots for personal use for a limited time.

* Following the release of 4.2, we will evaluate the housing market and decide when to remove the restriction on sales to individuals.

* Players may still relocate private estates.

Players will be permitted to own only one private and one free company estate per World per service account.

* Players may still relocate any private or free company estates they presently own.

To discourage the resale of plots, any plots relinquished by owners will be unavailable for purchase for a limited time.

* During this period, said plots will still be available for relocation.

* Further details regarding these measures will be made available after the maintenance for patch 4.2.

When viewing a duty, you may switch the camera's point of view between party members or set it to idling mode. You may also use group poses.

Requirements
With a level 70 Disciple of War or Magic who has completed the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon," speak to the wandering minstrel at Mor Dhona (X:21.7 Y:8.7) to unlock this feature.

Using the Duty Recorder
Please follow these steps to use the Duty Recorder:

Select Duty Recorder under Duty in the main menu, then select Enable under Recording Settings.
Begin a recordable duty with a party that meets the minimum size requirements.
After entering the duty, initiate a Record Ready Check. Approval from all party members is required before recording can begin.
* Recording will begin once all party members have agreed to the Record Ready Check and will end once you leave the duty.

You must have at least 210 MB of free space to record.
Recordable Duties
The Jade Stoa
The Jade Stoa (Extreme)
* More duties will become recordable in upcoming patches.

Viewing Duty Records
Duty playback is only available in inn rooms.

From Duty, enter the Duty Recorder menu, and select the recording, followed by "Play."

Up to three recordings may be saved at once. Once this limit has been reached, any new recording will overwrite the oldest existing recording. If there are particular recordings that you wish to keep, they can be locked to prevent them from being overwritten.
* When a new patch is released, any previously saved recordings will no longer be playable. In rare cases, older recordings may also be rendered unplayable after unscheduled maintenances.
