So people. I need you to read this. Especially all people that are complaining about scintillant drop rates. Instead of complaining you have to play the game more and try to figure it out.

Yes, scintillant is a rare drop from Tier 1 bounty, BUT also it is a resource not unsimilar to cetus wisp.

This is a GUIDE about getting scintillant:

Step 1: Start the Isolation vault bounty
Step 2: Progress until the stage 3
Step 3: Kill Necromech
Step 4: You will be able to find scintillant  flying around in the room. Melee it and you will get it.
Step 5: Grofit???

No it's not, it's there, flying. Probably not always probably, but it IS there.

We are going to make this wayyy more transparent in game, because as it appears now, players have no way of knowing this (unless they just explore, but we need to direct)! 
Soon, the Description of the item will be Updated to state something like: 'These scarce, hovering relics of the Orokin era can still be found monitoring the isolation vaults deep beneath the surface of Deimos.'. We will go over this on Prime Time from Home, aka, Home Time, tomorrow too!

THANK YOU!

There are so many things in this update with no explanation, which leads to bad takes and wrong assumptions. Pretty much all of the Isolation Vault stuff seems like trial and error, which is a bad way to do it. This isn't a Destiny raid: you can give us an objective marker.

I have completed quite a lot of vaults, searched them from top to bottom but I didn't find a single one.

If they work like Cetus Wisp then I suspect they might escape while you fight.

That's great news! But I am still really happy that me and my friend have figured it out by ourselves :))

Can i get a screenshot of a scintillant in action? I just did a vault solo to try and find these.

Wow, just this already helps a tiny bit, even more if it'll be improved!

I'll watch out for them on that area, hopefully after the first one it won't be hard to spot the ones after it.

Still, between rarity in bounties and isolation chamber, 5 units needed per gear piece and father demanding about 10 of them for many token purchases, they still need to be made more common. Or for us to need less of them to build and trade with NPC's

How about the bounties that don't drop them at all?

They drop them. T1 is a rare drop and happens at such rate. T2 is common BUT you also roll between 5 other drops in that pool.

Can you also please address "SON" tokens and the conservation issues.

Speaking of which, can you explain vault tiers while you're at it?
