Scintillant, Thaumic and Son are broken


WingR84

Recommended Posts

I think the title says it all.

1) Never found even one Scintillant so far and based on what people say... they seem to be unichorn rare. I cant build my Mech and i cant build the new warframe.... wtf DE? I need at least 7 for WF and Mech but cant drop it?

2) I need 60 and 80 Thaumic for the mech and new Frame... i have like 400 of the other stuff but 60 Thaumic. How is that possible? Is there a day/night droptable for mining? How can i have more of the rare last level ore (that i cant buy the blueprints for so far) than the ore that drops in packs of ~6, but is mandetory for almost any new thing that you add?

3) Based on the artwork i'm not even sure what animals i would hunt. To upgrade to level3 i need a "Medjay Predasite Tag" and i have no clue where to even look for it, because it seems that i cant buy a lure for it.

 

I'm also not even sure what droped the "Spindl Core Sections"... because at some point i got it from the missions (the 4th one with the digging?) but now it doesnt drop anymore.
The "Mech runs" are OK and i will take a break now, because it seems to be a clear bug that you dont drop any Thaimic or Scintillants in that mission, while all the other mining stuff seems to drop.

And i REALLY hope (sad to say) that Son will at some point sell a "Medjay Predasite Tag", because i REALLY dont want to do the whole hunting part. I never liked it... then you added it to nightway (still didnt do it) but now i need this system to level up my rank? I'm ok with beeing forced to wait if i only trade in Father tokens at Grandmother for the big shard that i need for the weapon.... but WHY?

 

Games should be fun and not suffering

It's a resource from fishing. You'll find it also from the Word Altars, I think.

But just go fishing a bit and you'll have loads of it.

 

Unless you have fishing, in which case, those random Altars are probably your safest bet.

Judging by this thread the problems seems to be that you are in fact more clueless than the game is actually broken. Let me help you.

Currently the fastest way to get Scintillant is to do all the three vault and only killing the mechs with a Nekros in your team. Escorting Loid and looting the actual vault is a waste of time.

Thaumic is the rarest alloy that can be received from the red ore veins. Make sure that you are using the mining laser from Fortuna since that has the best chance of receiving rare minerals and alloys. The second way of getting them is to activate the Requiem pylons, or whatever they are, scattered around the Cambion Drift. When enemies are killed under their effect, they have a chance of dropping some of the rare resources. I still prefer mining myself personally.

Medjay predasites are the rare breed of Predasites. They can be lured with the Predasite Echo-Lure, and the chance of luring rarer breeds is improved by using Predasite Pheromone Glands. Both of these items can be purchased at the point of progression you are in. They can also be found in the wild without any lures, which is how I hunted them.

They are a fishing resource. The game literally tells you which fish drop them when cut at Daughter when you hover over the resource either in your inventory or the mission end screen.

The Ore Veins are technically supposed to be Blue/Red. On the other two open areas, they are indeed Blue/Red. Here though they tend to have an orange/yellow tint, either intentionally, or due to how everything else has a tint like that, or some combination of both.

- Scintillant remain rare, until you start doing serious vault grinding for Necramech bits: even with the current garbage drop rates I've gotten a few passively that way. I know people might say it's a lie, but it DOES drop in the T2 bounty, and you can always abort after the first stage and repeat if you don't get it. yes it sucks, yes they should make it mroe common, but it's not impossible to get. unlike Cortege parts...

- Thaumic is the rarest Ore, and you WILL have to do some digging for it. not found any from container/Void Pillar drops, all mine is fresh from the infested trees. I recommend going into caves for it, more deposits, less enemies to bother you.

- conservation can burn in the void for all I care. I did find a Medjay randomly, but they are rare, so your best bet as other mentioned is, unfortunately, to buy the Lure and Pheromones and try to draw one out. or buy the tag. at least it's not those damn birds...

-spines are from fishing, as others have said, got a few doing vaults and Void pillars though. they do exist.

save yourself the agro and buy the tag. if I didn't buy it, i'd still be rank 3 now. it sucks having to do that when i've gotten everywhere else for free, but those birds are bullsh1t. there's more than enough grind after rank 3 to occupy and frustrate you without needing to chase birds.

Got a lot of Thaumic from pylons as well as most fishing resources like Spinal Core Section. I did rank up just doing random pylon on the first bounties I did.

As for the Medjay tag, you can find some Medjay Predasites wandering arounf but rare, best is to use the lure + pheromones to do it quicker. Or buy those with plats its not so expansive.

You better do a Vault for those pillars.

After killing the Mech the infested spawn endlessly until you activade the Bonus part.

Find a pillar, get a good builded Operator and get to killing with their Amp. I suggest using Magus Melt + Virtous Forge.
