Im guessing level 50 parts will be released in the near future?

Max capacity is your rank +19, so it caps at 69 currently. The new sub parts cost 17 each, max capacity becomes moot at rank 49.

There is a rank 5 airship, but there is no rank 5 sub. Airships released in 3.0 with 6/7 models and the rank 50 was added in 3.2. Subs were added in 4.2 with two models and one model has been added with each subsequent patch, so no idea if another model will be added.

niiiiiiice

so what are the best builds, assuming two things. one, max surv needed is 120 (like airships) and then either range to hit up more places, speed to do places faster (no retri), or high retri for assumed farming of the massive amount of kamacite ore (that will probably come from sub nodes)?

note: need 3 ore per plate and 9 plates per part (or 108 ore for one sub and 432 ore for all four subs)

also note: I think its dumb as hell to add a new building materia that could take months for you to build your subs when there are only months left before 5.0, when subs will become trash, much like airships did when 4.0 dropped :/

I'm looking for a budget Sub! The time it takes to reach my destination isn't so much of an issue. I mostly want to discover new areas and bring back goodies. SO I would assume I would build for surveillance and retrieval? Then what about Distance? Right now I have a Shark I keep sending out to discover the derelict to with no luck.

Apologies if this isn't a good place for this question.

I'd check out the calculator that Quadoline posted. You can narrow it down by removing parts and shifting the scrollbars to the minimum you want of certain stats and then browse what you get with various builds that fit those minimums. CUWC would give you a good chunk of surveillance while middle roading the rest of the stats.

Still trying to unlock other sectors, here's what I got back from DSS6: Bamboo Sticks, Beech Logs, Zelkova Logs, Dark Chestnut logs, and Aetherchemical Fiber.

Could you please provide a screenshot of that new zone? (Rank, EXP, stars, position on map etc.)

RNG can be a real pain in the butt with discovering things.

That said, on the first trip of our three subs with 110 surv, one of them discovered Deep Sea Site 6. The last sub has 135 surv and discovered Flickering Dip on its first trip.

I'm also interested in sub builds. Has anyone been able to find the rare item with 110 surveillance or is the new minimum 120?

Good Morning, minion discovered in deep sea site 7 his name :Abroader otter

Can some one please post the distance between Home and the new zones? (U-Y)
If possible distance to each other point would also be useful.

I've only found Deep-sea Site 6 and Flicking Dip so far, I'm adding them as I unlock them. The distance from a zone to itself is the survey distance

30h Venture with a 110 Speed Submarine to Headway
https://i.imgur.com/c5Bc8Oy.png

Just curious if anyone has come up with some good builds for lvl 50?

Edit: To be more specific I am not good with figuring the stats but I prefer better chance of good stuff vs speed. My previous subs were surveillance and favor mainly and seemed to do well but now wondering if I actually stacked those two stats TOO high. What are some good stats to aim for in a build. Honestly 120 sur seems low to me? Is that really all you think is needed for the new zone farming?

hardsilver sand and Aetherochmical fiber from glittersand

This is the Submarine I'm going with:
https://i.imgur.com/7PR5sss.png
It's Shark Stern and rest is Coelcanth.
This is for Headway only

For Flickering Dip + Headway you probably have to use the new Syldra Bow to get to 95 Range. If we go by 110 Surveillance is minimum requierement for Rare items (which we do not know yet) and high speed.
More options with less Speed of course

If you still aren't sure, check out this Tool from Quadoline:

has anyone in NA side of things gotten an abroader otter yet? I've had my subs out a few times no luck so far. not even any kamacite ore yet :( I wonder what conditions you need to get it (much like how colossus slab needed calm and clear conditions to get one).
