Welcome! I’m Ghanna d’Lyrandar, and I’m here to help you select the right airship for you and your guild! There are four lines of airships in Dungeons & Dragons Online, which are:
Windspyre (Sparrow, Falcon, and Gryphon)
Volant (Signet, Manifest, and Alcazar)
Stormglory (Bolt, Tempest, and Typhoon)
Daedalean (Glaive, Trefoil, and Kraken)
The Windspyre and Volant line of airships are available to purchase for platinum, provided that your guild meets the required minimum level, while the Stormglory and Daedalean airships are available to purchase for Astral Shards, and have no minimum level nor “upgrade path” – simply select the airship you wish to purchase and it’s yours!
Here is a comparison of the benefits each ship has to offer:

All airships can be purchased by visiting the Airship Showroom in The Harbor, and then speaking to either Vordrik or Taelyn d’Lyrandar (they both sell the same ships.)
The Airship Showroom can be found in The Harbor
The Airship Vendors in the Airship Showroom can also be used to deposit Platinum and/or Astral Shards into the guild’s coffers! Remember, once deposited, it is not possible to withdraw the funds, so check your numbers before hitting “Deposit!” The guild’s balance can be used to purchase Airships and Airship Amenities, though only a guild’s Leader or Officers can purchase an airship!
Once a new airship is purchased, you are trading in your old airship for a newer, shinier model! This means that once an airship has been purchased, you no longer have access to your old airship, so choose carefully before buying a ship! Once purchased, your airship is automatically upgraded, and existing amenities that have been placed will be automatically placed onto your new airship (although they can be swapped out or changed at any time by visiting your airship.)
Guild Leaders and Officers can purchase airships and amenities, and only guild Leaders and Officers can place amenities on airships. However, all guild members can deposit funds, use amenities, enjoy the Buff Bar, and take a dip in the Hot Tub (if your ship has one!) Favor-locked NPCs in amenities require the character to have met the favor requirement to use. The airship captain can be found on the top deck, and can take you to locations unlocked by airship amenities in addition to many other locations.
The Airship Hookpoint Button can be found near the entrance to every airship level
Leaders and Officers can place and purchase new amenities by first selecting the Hookpoint Access Button located near the entrance to an airship floor. Once the hookpoints are visible, a Leader or Officer can place an existing amenity, or purchase a new amenity, by clicking on the hookpoint where they wish to place an amenity, and then select the amenity to place or purchase. If purchasing an amenity, note the selector at the bottom of the UI which allows you to either use your character’s Personal Funds, or your Guild Currency.
The Airship Amenity UI
Old (pre-Update 22) guild airship amenities are placed in the Cargo Hold of your airship, and largely function as they did before. The Buff Bar does not automatically grant you old airship amenity buffs. New airship amenities never expire, and can be placed and re-placed without ever needing to purchase them again. The amenities that are available to be placed at a hookpoint location depend on the type of location (Hold, State Room, etc.)
New airship amenities do not disappear upon death, and last significantly longer! We hope you enjoy your new airship, and that it gives you endless miles of adventure and travel!
