I want to know how the mammets are getting HW materials underwater in a completely different area. They should be bringing back materia & materials that are suited for the content the submarines were introduced with.

OK found-it for "L - Mystic Basin" is "G - The Umbrella Narrow" : http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post4677318

But not for third submersible :/

Can anyone condense the information of how to unlock the different sectors? Not screenshots just "send submarine to X to unlock Y."

neolith island > cobalt shores
offender's rot > mystic basin + deep sea site 4
unidentified derelict > central rimilala
central rimilala> wreckage of discovery

Basically, every 2* node unlocks at least one 3*. The route doesn't matter, just a chance when you visit the node.

Updated the first post. Hoping to get the relevant images soon. :)

Did you guys figure out some bilds for the submersives, like we did on the ariships?
Sometimes I feel like is a waste of time and material crafting a whole set.

Kinda, so far I've only made the whale sterns, make what you think will help your builds

any build is a waste since the items it brings back we have been getting from airships since 3.0

Has anyone run into a bug where it says voyage time is 236 hours and 23 minutes? There is no reason I can see that this voyage should suddenly take so long and it's taking 63 hours for the same voyage on my other sub.

Disregard think I got it ;) unfortunate part mixture affecting speed

You can make any build you want; there's not a reachable component limit at rank 30.

I've made 4 of each piece so far, for complete versatility.

The Wreckage of Discovery I
- salvaged bracelet

I saw someone asking after build info -- not sure if this will help but I did a spreadsheet of all possible 81 builds you can make with any combo of Shark/Unkiu/Whale components along with their stats.

Anyone else get Marine Wax Ester yet?

I'd post screenshots but I can't seem to find an easy image hosting option :s

Central Rimilala Trench
- earth shards

The Wreckage of Discovery I
- star sapphires

I made a sub build/route planner. If you download the file and run it in excel, you'll need to "Enable Content," which is just a bunch of VBA scripts.

Can confirm it comes from Wreckage of Discovery I.

Wreckage of Discovery I
- star sapphires again

I've been seeing a few asks about the best builds to make. Since I've done the calculations for myself, I figured that I'd share what I have.

I based my calculations on how the airship stats were set up for end-game and came up with two significant builds that I have decided to call Surveillance and Retrieval.

The Surveillance build is the ship that you use to discover new areas. It maxes the surveillance, favor, and speed stats in that order of importance. Currently, the best parts to secure this build is a complete Unkui submarine. That is to say, Unkui bow, bridge, hull, and stern. In order to have enough build points to equip all of these pieces, your sub must be at least level 17.

The Retrieval build is the ship you send out to retrieve items from each sector. Depending on how soon you want the items, the main stats will vary from build to build. However, the basic stats to max are retrieval, favor, and surveillance in that order of importance. Although there is speculation that the surveillance stat influences whether or not your ship will retrieve more than one item per sector, we're still not entirely sure what the surveillance stat actually accomplishes. Therefore, I currently have two potential builds for the Retrieval build. In order to have enough build points to equip either of these builds, your submarine must be at least level 25.

Build 1 - Max retrieval with good speed.
Whale Hull, Whale Bridge, Shark Bow, Unkui Stern.

Build 2 - Balanced build with an emphasis on retrieval.
Whale Hull, Whale Bridge, Unkui Bow, Unkui Stern.

(2/2)

There's a certain amount of surveillance needed to even get some of the good/rarer drops from sectors. It seems to be around the 90 mark. Would be nice if we got some hint messages for these sort of things, like "The mammets think they spotted something else in the area, but the submersible lacked the ability to survey the area further."
