Zariman voidlplumes are glorified syndicate medallions

[Pieape]

I never enjoyed syndicate medallion hunting in the first place and now I'm forced to hunt them to advance the new standing reputation. No one helps with mission objectives in favor of hunting these dumb medallions which usually end up in a mission failure.

I'd find it so much less jarring if there was some way to convert between the different tiers.

they're not glorified syndicate medallions, that's waht voidplumes are. I'm just more taken aback by the fact that bounties give no rep.

Because you get get a lot of rep from one single mission if you collect of the voidplumes laying around the map

[Hiroshi]

Yeah but that means you have to clear the entire map to get some rep instead of having a flat amount per bounty. Doesn't really makes things less grindy by removing rep gains like you would in with other factions.

The part that sucks is needing the voidplumes to level up your reputation and the only way to acquire them is by running around the map to collect them. Don't even mention getting them as bounty rewards because the only thing I get from bounties are the highly sought after greater lens'

The strange thing is you get tier 4 plumes (quills) from everything. The AI girl always drops them and I'm pretty sure bounties give you them guaranteed on top of the random reward. If they made it so you get each tier guaranteed based on the level of bounty, it would be fine.

Each run is usually 15-20 min long if you collect everything, dont know if thats a bug or something but the 2 tier where you have to kill an angel never spawns enemies, so i can run around and collect the stuff and kill the angel wich gives a flat 5k standing item+ the 5~ you get from the other found ones.

And no they should absolutely not tie the rewards to each tier. Why would anyone even want that.

The bounties are supposed to reward a plume tier relative to the bounty tier, so if you keep getting the fourth tier, that's probably unintentional (but nice bonus standing). The first three tiers spawn randomly in the maps, the vending machine Cephalon drops the fourth tier, and then the Angels are guaranteed to drop the fifth tier when you kill them, so it seems spread out fine to me

Bounties give Voidplume Quills. Quills are worth 2,500 rep each, and you get 1 Quill per bounty level. With the max level bounty being 4, you get up to 10,000 rep worth of Quills per bounty. The big thing is that it's like Deimos where instead of directly giving you rep, you instead get a resource that you can exchange for rep later, allowing you to grind out bounties for as long as you want so you don't have to do it every single day.

Ok but that doesn't happen. They all give quills

Op is right it is just as bad as void fissure mission runs. we don't need another solo yolo !
it is really about time that the player base should make a choice of going solo/group up and farm much needed or wanted loot/rewards. Or join randoms in public and just play the game without being a rushing selfish bully.

[Jono]

they're not "glorified medallions," they're literal medallions... end of missions stats literally call them syndicate medallions lol

That's because Zariman bounties are modeled after Deimos bounties - instead of direct reputation, you get tokens (or in Zariman's case, Voidplumes) that you redeem for standing later.
