Ephram Sha: Reward Merit inaccuracy

[RikOz]

Upon meeting Ephram Sha for the first time in Dark Astoria, we get a dialog that explains repeatable missions and their rewards. As you can see in the yellow text at the bottom of this window, one of the reward choices is "five reward merits".

 

 

Upon completing my first repeatable mission of the day from Ephram Sha, I was presented with the reward selection window, where you can see that I have selected "2x Reward Merits". Based upon the previous window, this would suggest that I am going to receive 10 Reward Merits. Included in the screenshot is my Salvage window, where you can see I have 40 Reward Merits before clicking the "Accept Reward" button.

 

 

After clicking "Accept Reward", you can see in the next screenshot that I now have 42 Reward Merits, not 50:

 

 

It seems I got 2 Reward Merits, not the 10 I would expect. I can also confirm that, after the first repeatable mission of the day, subsequent missions only give 1 Reward Merit.

 

Either Ephram Sha's window description is incorrect, or the reward calculation is incorrect.

 

I'll also note that the original description says that one of the options is "two incarnate threads", but the reward window offers ten. I can't confirm which of those is correct as I have never selected that option.

I think this is an old dialog box that has not yet been updated. Ephram's (and Maharaj -- redside version) will give you 10 threads, 2 merits, and super insps every 20 hours. So if you do 4 missions for him within the 20 hours, your 4th mission will not earn you any reward (other than the random drops). Note that to get the super insp rewards, you have to have space in your tray.

Whichever reward is correct is fine with me, I'd just like it to be stated correctly.
