Exchange faction members playing older modules - what do they get?

[Keldin]

Okay, this isn't the first time this has come up for me, but it's the first time someone else actually spoke up about it, so I thought I'd ask...

A member of the Exchange faction playing an older module. Which of these is true?

1) The character gains any boons intended for the Qadira faction.

2) The character gains any boons intended for the Sczarni faction.

3) The character gains any boons intended for either faction.

4) The character gains NO boons intended for either faction.

I've already checked the roleplaying guide. It says that Exchange members treat Qadiran faction missions as Exchange missions, and to ignore Sczarni missions.

But that doesn't say anything about boons on the chronicle sheets. So, any kind of 'official' answer to this?

If it matters any, the character who inspired this is more Sczarni than Qadiran, but I didn't start play until season 7, so that was never an option.

I also checked additional resources and the campaign clarifications. No relevant information could be found in those.

Just Qadiran.

Can you point me to somewhere that I can cite for this, to point out to others? (That is pretty much what I expected, but better to have a cite than note.)

Guide 7 page 18

Liberty’s Edge faction PCs qualify for Andoran faction
vanities and mission boons available in past seasons.
Likewise, Dark Archive faction PCs qualify for Cheliax
rewards, Scarab Sages as Osirion, The Exchange as Qadira,
and Sovereign Court as Taldor. Without a boon that states
otherwise, a PC cannot earn Sczarni vanities or boons

Which is one of several reasons why the Exchange is... not quite as good as it could be.

They ARE trying to make improvements to it, but once again in a recent scenario there's a push to 'only legitimate business here, kplsthx'.

Huh. Well, that explains why I didn't find it. I was only looking in the most recent version of the guide.

I took the fetch trick twice

The most recent version had a bunch of format changes, and in the translation some things disappeared. They'll likely be back in the next version.

Which was also, unfortunately, said about v.9 when they were missing in v.8 :(

Confirming that the text will be back in the next version. It's on my list of changes to apply to the guide before the next release.

Just getting back in, but that's a shame. Both my level 11 'exchange' and my level 4 'exchange' are Sczarni (One by original faction, one by family) so I prefer the less legitimate business options.

aside:

Recently played Salvation of the Sages and my Archerologist was the only one who has had interactions with Torch. "Grandmaster Torch is, a businessman. He's one you can always expect to hold up to the exact wording of the deal, even if it isn't what you thought those words meant. My family has worked in the past with him, we *pause* understand him."
