Hi all, will 135 survey be enough for materia at the higher end nodes?

Hi all, will 135 survey be enough for materia at the higher end nodes?

135 won't cover all the rare items. Thus far 155+ seems to be the goal for all the rare items. You'll want to boost the favor up as best you can on top of that while leaving yourself enough range to cover requirements. I believe 64 range is the farthest needed to hit just stone temple, but double check on your own in case I missed something.

Thanks, ill build the remaining ships with a focus on those, the 155 survey, and the range.
I rebuilt my first ship, well changed one component, so i could get more kamacite and both sectors that have it will take one week to get back, i guess not bad considering each ship takes like 50 days or something to level.
Itll be a month before i can even get any of the end game stuff which sucks because expansion will be here.

Hello, I've been having a lot of trouble obtaining Kamacites, and I have no idea why. I'm running a Coelacanth sub, so it has 170 surveillance, 45 retrieval, 85 speed, 80 range, and 100 favor and I've been sending the airship basically off cooldown for nearly half a year. I've been sending one sub to the Rimilala Shelf and the other to the Flickering Dip. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I went 16 trips without seeing any (8 subs over 1 week)

140 survey
130 retrieval
40 speed
55 range
95 favor

Before that i got about 120 ore the week or so before, just bad RNG you have.

Is there any use for favor beyond, i think 105, to get additional items (if im reading how favor works correctly)? Thanks

None that anyone has found. If there is an effect other than that, it's subtle.

We're discovering that higher favor is required for sectors like Stone Temple and Sunken Vault. The endgame ships such as CUSyC take that into account and function optimally.

I would like to confirm once again.
Which build is the best(optimized build) to farm only abroader otters? CUUC?

I can't remember exactly... but...
if that's the one that doesn't have the range to reach the furthest sector but also has enough favor to hit DSS7 twice and has about a 25 hour return time for only going there then yes I believe that is correct.
