Does anyone have exact detail on how to unlock all 4 submarines? can't seem to find any info

1st: no requirement
2nd: Unidentified derelict
3rd: ???
4th: ???

Wreckage of Discover I & Purgatory. Sectors O & T on the sector table on the first page.

What kind of materia returns are people seeing from "Sector 28 (AB)The Rimilala Trench Bottom" in terms of stack size and amounts?

If it's only like 2 per mission, it's really not worth it.

Those VI Materia are considered rare. You only tend to get larger quantities of previous expansion materia.

Can anyone point me to what minimum surveillance i need for submarine build? Is there just a minimum cap you need to meet (level 50)? Im ready to build, i have all shark components still, i am using a calculator but havent been able to find an absolute number. Thanks!

155 Surveillance seems to be the number to aim for now. Try making CUSyC builds for your ships. If you need to farm Kamacite for that fit, run CUWC.

Hi! How high is the chance to get a second anomaly? I have a favor of 105 and I was told it's enough. I've sent my submarine to the Sunken Vault for several times now but it's "no additional anomalies detected" every time. I only get things like Earth Crystals or Star Spinels. The surveillance is 160, so it should be enough to get the Crystal Boules... (CWSC build, since I haven't gotten any Kamacite ore yet)

[DrWho2010]

hmm i would try to do 110 favor then.

105 favor is enough for 2 tries at Otter. However, for Sunken Vault, Stone Temple (and I think Wreckage of the headway) you need much higher. 120 favor doesn't cut it. 140 favor does. I'm not sure about 125/130/135.

Thank you. Where do you usually get this information, other than asking here? Is there a site where all the needed stats are listed? I was told I need 105 favor for everything. But well, again false information and again all my ship parts are useless for what I want.

It seems I need to build Syldra parts then, because I can't have 155 surveillance AND 140 favor without. Maybe I'll have enough Kamacite Ore until the next expansion comes out, I think I have 12 now or so...

Important question: If I only have 105 favor, do I still have at least a chance to get the blue or green crystal boule? Surveillance is 160 and someone in this thread said I need 155 for them. I'm not sure if I can even get them if favor is too low or if it's only for the chance to get a second item.

Any site out there likely pulls its information from this thread. It's not that you were given wrong information it's that things evolve. As more sectors are released, the more the goals change and over time we refine our understanding of the requirements through trial and error.

As far as I can tell, there hasn't been much in the last few sectors that most people want to farm so there's less data for min requirements on the rare items. 105 May not be enough for a second attempt but it will be enough for one; you're builds may not be the most efficient but they could work if your surv/ret are good.

Hi guys!
I would like some opinions in regards of the Abroader Otter builds. Between CSySyC and CUUC builds, which one you guys would tell me to pick up?(I'm aiming to farm only DSS7 for the otter)

If there any other builds that could be better than these two that seemed the best for me, i would like you guys to correct me if possible! Thank you!

[Orinc]

does any one know the minimum surveillance needed to get a crystal boule? I have 150 surveillance and 140 favor and have gotten a few otters with my sub but no boules on my deep sea-7 / sunken vault trips.
