Plundered Treasure from the Wreckage of the Headway

I've gotten 2 otters within the past week with CWCC and CCCC builds. One otter from each sub.

It took about a month of sending the subs out every other day or so since the beginning of Feb.

CCSyC build. Found Plundered treasure in Stone Temple.

Hello,

Does anyone know what this message means? I have high favor but am unable to get another anomaly? Is this an RNG element? Trying to figure out what build is optimal for otter farming.

See message and build below:





With this same build, I even have a "clear and calm" and yet the same message. Just wondering if i should try to build for more favor or if it's just RNG at this point.

Honestly, I don't think any of us have a clear idea on what's causing the exploration of the second anomaly to fail right now. For a while, I personally was thinking it had something to do with Surveillance or Favor being used as an HP value (reduced by weather or by item rarity), the submersible repair condition being too low, or even the weather condition halting the exploration.

There was a post a couple pages back that had logs recording the repair level, favor/surveillance rating, and weather conditions for every instance of a double anomaly spawn and successful/failed exploration attempt. We're not... seeing a correlation with any of those theories. At this point, we're chalking it up to RNG unless someone has a better idea.

I am very sure thats just rng

Any have a good build for getting the rarer items in the newest sectors? I'm working on updating the subs for my FC before ShadowBringers for something to do

In my opinion, the CUSyC submarine is the best general-purpose submarine for rare-item collecting. It has 155 surveillance (minimum required for finding those blue/green boules) and 140 favor (enough to get up to 2 attempts per sector for every sector). The speed is respectable at 75. The retrieval is kinda low, so it's not great at hauling back the kamacite ore, but if you're after the boules, plundered treasures, salvaged coin, undersea spoils, colossus slabs, marine wax esters, and abroader otters (though for otters only, you should be CUUC), the CUSyC is the sub for you.

In my opinion, the CUSyC submarine is the best general-purpose submarine for rare-item collecting.

I'm inclined to agree with this sentiment. Testing this fit out compared to the CCSyC fit yields results that are a bit more advantageous with regards to common farming routes. Considering the extra range that CUSyC gains and the inclusion of the extra Surveillance to acquire the two new Boules, I'll be refitting my own ships to this setup.

CCSyC
Route 1: Neolith Island (I) > Deep-Sea Site 3 (E) > Deep-Sea Site 7 (W) = 1 Day, 18 Hours, 47 Minutes
Route 2: Deep-Sea Site 7 (W) > The Rimilala Shelf (V) = 1 Day, 22 Hours, 53 Minutes
Route 3: Flickering Dip (Y) > The Rimilala Shelf (V) = 2 Days, 3 Hours, 39 Minutes

CUSyC
Route 1: Deep-Sea Site 7 (W) > Sunken Vault (AD) > Stone Temple (AC) = 3 Days, 1 Minute
Route 2: Neolith Island (I) > Deep-Sea Site 3 (E) > Deep-Sea Site 7 (W) = 1 Day, 20 Hours, 50 Minutes
Route 3: Deep-Sea Site 7 (W) > The Rimilala Shelf (V) > Flickering Dip (Y) = 2 Days, 21 Hours, 40 Minutes
Route 4: Deep-Sea Site 7 (W) > The Rimilala Shelf (V) > The Wreckage of the Headway (Z) = 2 Days, 20 Hours, 57 Minutes
Route 5: Deep-Sea Site 7 (W) > Sunken Vault (AD) > The Wreckage of the Headway (Z) = 2 Days, 23 Hours, 7 Minutes





Side Note: I'm heavily biased towards a ship fit that will give me voyages closer to a 24 hour interval.
