Official droptables have been updated. "Common" Scintillant isn't so common after all.

[DraekoSilver]

TLDR: DE are lying to us again.

[Aldain]

Blatant lies on the bounty screen eh?

DE ya REALLY dun goofed this time.

[vegetosayajin]

So get ready for everyone to quit after stage 1 of the second bounty. :D
This numbers seem more like the experience that I had.

[chaotea]

Its rare in each section, but does show up alot. Still, it is still too rare, and with no definate way to farm like wisps at night by ponds its alot harder to reliably farm.

Before I realized Necramechs were dropping them over the weekend I gave up on the second bounty, where Scintillant is common, and tried the first one, where it's rare. I had none so far, but easily got 3 scintillant as a rare reward, both from bounty stange 3 and bonus reward.

And now that I can have them from Necramechs I already have what I needed, with not much effort. Don't fall for the second bounty, the first seems to have a better chance despite Scintillant being rare there. This despite any tables and purely based on personal experience, so take it with a whole bottle of salt.

and the "Scintillantgate" scandal continues...

at this point I think DE should just give Otak a Permanent Scintillant BP. make the requirements rare gems and ores if needed, then players will still need to put in some work, but at least they know they would eventually be able to just make the damn things. I haven't seen DE handle a rare resource this badly in long time, even Cetus Wisps were dealt with better than this.

I'm glad I stopped running those bounties for Scintillant as soon as I got 5.

Been running Iso vaults for 2 or 3 days (with boosters), and, after crafting everything that needs scintillant, including two Xakus, I'm sitting on 64 of them. I get some in pretty much every Trivault run.

Looks like another Steel Essence drama 2 : electric boogalo is starting up again...

Ya better do something about it DE.

So yes, T2 bounty is a scam. Do Isolation Vaults instead and farm those things from the mechs.

1 - Farm plat before update releases.

2 - Buy Drop chance and 2x Resource boosters (3 days is enough if you'll have the time).

3 - Use recruit to form a team with one or two Nekros.

4 - Run Iso vaults.

5 - Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you get however many Scintillants you want.

[0_The_F00l]

Seems to be in line with what has been observed.

Mistakes happen i guess,

Not something that needs fixing in my opinion, but a 2.5% chance when others have 25% in same category is sure not common.

How so? Rarity in bounties isn't indication of drop chance, but in which and how many stages it can drop... And it's not like this is the first time something in common table is rarer than others in it. Take for example tier 3 & 4 Cetus bounties: lenses are listed as common, but don't actually have much higher drop chance that revenant pieces which are uncommon and rare. And past stage 1 have actually lower.

[Veridian]

Im pissed off because I spent way too much time trying to get the 20 I need.

I also feel I'll be pissed off when I get it after I no longer need it.

[.Little.]

Just do t3 Iso vaults, I got 16 of them the other day, I have more than I need now.

[ENGINEEEEER]

They need to update their UI if they have a 2 level rarity structure in bounties. 

Don't call stuff common and have sub 10% drop chances. Or just make them all the same. We'll be doing bounties for a bit. No need to screw around with drop chances. 

As it is now it's just misleading.

I have, and got 3 total (6 with booster). One of those, I actually saw and caught. Apparently if you don't jump on the mech right when it does, they fly off.

Thanks! It worked well.

I got a booster from the daily login, and teamed up with 3 other Nekroses. We died like every minute, but the results are amazing. 3 (6 with booster) in a single T1-3 run.

If a player has a problem Developers ignore it, when you take YOUR problem and make it OTHER players problems is when devs start taking action.

The rinse and repeat abort level 2 bounty will likely be the thing that gets this fixed.
