Scintillant is worse than plains Wisps

[Mr.Holyroller]

Really tedious material with no alternative.just bounty roulette unaffected by boosters. sucks

[ScarlettQueen]

It is much worse that any other grinder I've ever had to do. MR29, I've done them all. But this one? Six hours of doing the bounty where Scintillant is supposed to be "common", and I only got two. Just two. Something is prodigiously wrong with that bounty. You don't even get the bonus, because the final step with the upload of samples never completes the full 25, no matter what.

Are they really only available as rare drop in low level bounties? That's horrible!

[Skaleek]

Yeah its pretty bad. I've been doing the bounty where its a "common drop" and i've gotten the rare 12 times and i have 0 scinitillant. Have run this 3 stage bounty 23 times. so 69 individual reward cycles with zero scintillant.

[(PSN)Hikuro-93]

Completely agreed. 0 this far, still need at the very least 10. And I assume there's other gear pieces needing 5 Scintillant.

I haven't even seen an endless tier 1 bounty yet, and no scintillant on the Isolated Vault. Plus this is one od Dad's favorite resources to ask. Truly bad.

Adding my voice to this.  It's a baaaaad grind and needs to be adjusted.  Hotfix, please.  Either add it to more bounties or other drop locations, or slash the prices for it everywhere it appears.  I've been running t2 bounties on repeat and only have 1.

I've been at this for a day or so, and I've never seen this thing. I guess we can never just have fun content. There always has to be some massive grind for an individual resource that's needed for everything.

Have you tried soloing it? When soloing it's only 10 samples. I've never seen it not upload all. That should also be faster than 25.

Doesn't matter. Scintillant still doesn't drop. I've been running those missions for a combined I've lost track of how long exactly, at least 6 hours, and I still only got TWO. When I'm on hook for ~at least~ TWELVE (5 for Xaku, 2 for mech part, 5 more for fans). I'm with the mounting Scintillant riot on the forum. I swear, the drop rate does not exist.

I didn't whish to imply otherwise. I don't even know if the bonus can be the commen reward. For me it usually is an uncommon reward.

It is a hollow soul sucking feeling. If the warframe partner program was still running the negativity would be flooding the video waves.

Do the Tier 1 bounty; it's a guaranteed Rare drop because it's the only Rare drop.

Edit: I lied, you can get credits even tho that isn't listed as a Rare drop. Ugh.

[Hardwood]

The worst part is it forces you to run the trash missions that give almost no mother tokens so you can't even farm rep efficiently.

[DeltaPangaea]

What the ingame bounty loot table calls 'common' has been a lie for ages. They're in no way equivalent even though it's presented as such and are all pretty much designed to #*!% with you.
