btw I've been trying to conjure up certain builds that don't overlap parts and was wondering what you guys think of these 3:

100,90,30,115,65 (Unkiu, Whale, Shark, Shark)
45,75,125,85,75 (Shark, Shark, Unkiu, Unkiu)
25,140,70,120,100 (Whale ,Unkiu, Whale, Whale)

I assume the first stat listed is surveillance? If so the second two set ups may not be worthwhile after the next set of nodes is released. I'm expecting a min surveillance requirement similar to airships.
Surveillance is also your chance of discovering items so a low surveillance seems like it would be self defeating; no point going anywhere if you can't see anything to get.

Low surveillance isn't that bad if you're after the common items. With high retrieval you'll still end up getting two big wads of viviantines or junk materia most of the time.

[geekgirl101]

Yeah that's what I thought too. Unfortunately there's not a lot that can be done about the other 2 builds getting severely nerfed surveillance without going about builds using multiples of the same types of hull/rigging since it gets slashed by shark parts. I may have to give up on the idea of trying to make 3 builds using unique parts for each sub.

[Alien_Gamer]

There's a lot of RNG involved with what the subs/airships bring back, good luck with your ventures.

Since weeks i sent my three submersibles to the spot for collussus slab and i get all but not that item. Anyone has similar experience or a tip how to get that?

What parts are you sending them out with? That slab is one of the harder to get items so it could just be rng, but if you've got low surveillance then you're not going to get it at all.

Remember to send your subs out on an uber mission asap. The 5 highest ranking destinations give the most exp, and will probably unlock the new zones coming out Tuesday.

Shortest Route, UUUW will get it done in under 3 days 6 hours:
1 - Deep-sea Site 4
2 - The Cobalt Shoals
3 - The Central Rimilala Trench
4 - The Wreckage of Discovery 1
5 - The Mystic Basin

The items obtainable from certain destinations have been changed. (source)

Well that's going to be fun. Would be nice if they just told us what sectors got changed.

Yes, I would really love to know what got moved. I've been working on updating the wiki and it's really frustrating not knowing if I should remove any of the items we've already got listed. Like how someone got a Faded Copy of Ambient Abyss from Kanayama, does that mean it's no longer at The Mystic Basin? I hate being sent on wild goose chases or sending others on them.
I've been dealing with something similar in trying to get the last couple of Iron Giant Scrap needed for the Iron Dwarf minion, but 3 months of to high geared Lvl 70 DoW retainers going out daily hasn't found a single one, which leaves me wondering if the same wasn't done with the Venture items/locations (though, happily and annoyingly, I got one from a Quick Exploration yesterday).
