"Dead Man's Chest" found in the Stone Temple. Also imaged: "Glamour Prisms" and "Wool Top" from The Upwell, and HQ "Darksteel Ore" from Stone Temple.



Sub parts are CCSyC.

Kamacite Ore does indeed exclusively drop from the Rimilala Shelf (V) and Flickering Dip (Y). We've speculated in this thread that the minimum requirement for the item is around 135 Surveillance (at least, it has been the most consistent so far). The drop rate is on the rarer side, but having either a faster boat or a hauling boat to hit the zones usually yields more drops over time. Like I mentioned above, a shiptype that I might suggest looking into would be a CWWC ship due to their tendency to explore two anomalies per zone during their 3 day, 11 hour voyages.

Thanks! Funny thing is, I got some kamacite. In the meantime, I changed nothing at the subs. And now they don't bring anything. Can't really explain this lol.

It's a dice roll every time. The ore is just on wheel'o'loot as long as you meet the minimum surveillance, but it doesn't guarantee the drop. I think I've gotten ore two of the dozen-ish times at 135 surv.

So I'm currently using the full syldra set on one of my subs, hoping that the stats would give me a better chance for the otter. It's disheartening when the sub with these parts (SySySySy) returns like this


Tbh, I'm not aiming for quicker duration of voyage inasmuch as a higher chance for the otter. Any suggestions? I've tried the CCSyC for weeks, and nothing.

An all-Syldra sub only has a surveillance of 130. That is mostly likely not high enough to put the Otter on your loot table. CCSyC looks like a good build that SHOULD work for the Otter, based on what we think we know, but there are no guarantees. You should check the weather from your trips; so far it seems like the Otter only drops in clear, calm weather.

Abroader Otter only comes from conditions being clear and calm. Even then I've had that and I only get Belahdian Glass.

Your surveilance is too low, retrieval is probably wasted and speed is nearly doubling your run time - if your going to run DS7 only use CUUC(25hrs at 170 surv 110 fav).

First Otter, Clear and Clam weather, UUUC build.

Thanks for all input about the full Syldra set. So in that case, what are these parts best used for? Seems like what would be the "end-game" submarine parts aren't even considered highly efficient.
