Wreckage of Discovery I: Platinum Ingots


Using an 85S/80R/85F setup, guess 80 isn't enough retrieval to give a positive-sounding results but survey/favor seems ok

If it follows the same formula as airships you'll need at least 90 surveillance to reach the further sectors. Beyond that:
Surveillance increases your odds of finding something
Retrieval increases how much of it you get.
Favor may or may not have something to do with getting rarer mats or HQ vs NQ; I've seen people talk about it but haven't seen anything confirmed about it.
Range increases how far you go, IE more sectors per trip.
Speeds is simply how fast you make the trip.

Most profitable builds seem to focus on maximizing Surveillance and Retrieval with a Range good enough to hit multiple sectors in a trip. Speed is more of a luxury, nice but not worth sacrificing the main stats for.

I have the shark build submarine (30 Surveillance) and I already reached all the further sectors (3 stars rank) using the shark build submarine

Yeah the all shark build is fine for discovering sectors, you will need higher end surveillance to snag the rarer goods though from mostly Unkiu parts.

Retrieval increases how much of it you get.

It feels kind of like Retrieval is the G3 shroud soil. It works to get more out of some of the basic plants, but the rare plants (items/materials) will only give 1 regardless. Surveillance or Favor seems to have a chance to tack additional chances on, but I don't think we know which because we're stuck with no stat info and the rng/time per trip would require years to decode it. Maybe something to ask in a live letter? Would be nice if someone from the community team could just get us that info without all the hoop jumping though.

Sorry, by further sectors I'm referring to those that will be released in 4.4 or 4.5. It was only the last 10 or so sectors that had the surveillance requirements for airships. For now there is no minimum requirement to reach anywhere.

Nice what are your ship parts?
I made an error in judgement and don't have enough speed on mine at the moment >_<
