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.

Hey, Thanks DrWho2010!
Yeah, seems like that's the one then. It has 170 surv, 30 retrieval, 110 speed, 50 range(enough to hit DSS7) and 110 favor(enough to roll for 2 attemps for the otter i believe) and it returns in 25 hours yes.

Made a note about this a few posts ago, but I worked out and added a couple more routes for the CUSyC fit:

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


With regards to CUUC for short distance farming, a couple of route options might be as follows:

CUUC
Route 1: Deep-Sea Site 7 (W) = 1 Day, 1 Hour, 36 Minutes
Route 2: Deep-Sea Site 3 (E) > Deep-Sea Site 7 (W) = 1 Day, 4 Hours, 49 Minutes
Route 3: Neolith Island (I) > Deep-Sea Site 3 (E) = 23 Hours, 14 Minutes


Considering the difference between the two fits is a simple swap between an Unkiu and Syldra part, these two shiptypes work really well with each other.


Edit: I guess it's even better that it turned out this way because it makes the leveling guide a lot easier to parse.

Rank 1-15: SSSS
Rank 15-17: UUUS
Rank 17-35: UUUU
Rank 35-45: CUWC (Grind Kamacite Ore)
Rank 45-50: CUSyC/CUUC

So question, assuming gil is no object wouldn't a CSySySy be the best overall sub to farm whatever you might want? It's slow but it has 160 surv, 100 retrieve, 95 range, 40 speed, and 130 favor.

I dislike specializing and would rather just have 4 subs i can send out to get whatever with a reasonable return.
