Ship has 150 Surv 155 Favor iirc.

I've never farmed for this item, but the minimum Surveillance for the Crystal Boules appears to be 155, so try boosting that stat I would say.

Hi all, will 135 survey be enough for materia at the higher end nodes?

135 won't cover all the rare items. Thus far 155+ seems to be the goal for all the rare items. You'll want to boost the favor up as best you can on top of that while leaving yourself enough range to cover requirements. I believe 64 range is the farthest needed to hit just stone temple, but double check on your own in case I missed something.

Thanks, ill build the remaining ships with a focus on those, the 155 survey, and the range.
I rebuilt my first ship, well changed one component, so i could get more kamacite and both sectors that have it will take one week to get back, i guess not bad considering each ship takes like 50 days or something to level.
Itll be a month before i can even get any of the end game stuff which sucks because expansion will be here.

Hello, I've been having a lot of trouble obtaining Kamacites, and I have no idea why. I'm running a Coelacanth sub, so it has 170 surveillance, 45 retrieval, 85 speed, 80 range, and 100 favor and I've been sending the airship basically off cooldown for nearly half a year. I've been sending one sub to the Rimilala Shelf and the other to the Flickering Dip. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I went 16 trips without seeing any (8 subs over 1 week)

140 survey
130 retrieval
40 speed
55 range
95 favor

Before that i got about 120 ore the week or so before, just bad RNG you have.

Can pretty much confirm CCWC doesnt work, despite it "should" being able to work using stats people posted earlier in the thread. Swapping back to CCYC helped.

CCWC does make a fantastic kamacite farmer though.

CCWC only has 130 surveillance which is not enough for the otter, but does cover the ore requirement. I believe it was 145 surveillance minimum for the otter.

AuricSeagard's quote shows a fit that's CWCC. This is different from the CCWC that you're talking about. The first has 175 Surveillance and works for endgame farming. The second has 130 Surveillance and works only for Kamacite farming (and is a common shiptype people use while working to acquire materials for Syldra components).

I was actually mistaken. The sub had 155 Surv, 140 favor. Three of my subs have 155, one has 150 Surv. Guess I've just been really unlucky or the requirement for the Coinage is even higher. I wonder if it is, just based on the fact that I never ever even see the Coinage on sale on my server. Any idea on the surv required for Colossus Slab? Surely not over 155, but I wonder if it's under 155?

Here's my latest trip on 155 surv sub. Hit 2 nodes on all locations .. too bad the yields were lackluster aside from the Boule:
