110 Retrieval rates as poor for Ramiliea Shelf, so 80 won't be enough to make any difference in the 4.5 zones.Based on that assumption would it be worth test a CSCS build for 180 Sur, with 80 gathering?
Its only 5 slower then the CWCC build that i see people using. I avoided due to the low speed, but if Gathering could add addtional items to the loot table, then RNG gets checked that many more times.

I assume you thought I meant Coel,Shark,Coel,Shark. Do we have an agreed upon abbreviation for shark vs Syldra?
I was thinking about Coelacanth, Syldra, Colacanth, Syldra

I use Sh and Sy, but I knew what you meant, and it has 80 retrieval
I ran a WCCC build to The Ramiliea Shelf, which has 110 retrieval, and repeatedly received the "poor retrieval levels" message.
In regard to what Favor does: I did a bunch of test runs and data gathering last spring, and with a variety of builds the main thing I discovered was this:
Favor of 90: Ships got two "rolls" (could bring back two items from each sector visited)
Favor below 90: Ships got one roll per sector
My conclusion was that a high favor gave more "bites of the apple", so to speak. I can't tell if it affects the odds that each roll will get you something very rare, but it does appear to determine how many rolls you get.

Since you can have zero and negative speeds with new parts, I just tried it out. They are treated as having a speed of 1.
3x and 2x Battlecraft Materia V found in the Rimilala Shelf (V). Shiptype CWWC.
Unrecorded items bolded for clarity.
Side-Note: It feels like the Favor speculation of it being the stat that determines whether a ship makes multiple attempts at a single destination may have something to it. at 105 Favor, my ships are making between 1 and 2 attempts at the Rimilala Shelf (V) and the Flickering Dip (Y). One of the ships took a couple bad-weather events, so I'm wondering if Favor is possibly used as a form of HP value?

Can I ask you what materia VIs were in 3a? For crafting materias? Sunken Vault does not have any registration of crafting materia VIs yet according to the forum's loot table, maybe this should be added.subs back from mission. Three found items worth reporting.
