What's the official word on Prestige and old faction missions

Scarab Sages 4/5 5/5 **

Okay, so I'm planning to run "The dissappeared" tonight, and I'm reading through it (I've played it before, but haven't run it yet.) I'm prepping it and I've hit a snag. I know that old faction missions are supposed to be Kaputski, but the disappeared's faction missions are the way to get the second prestige point. If they are gone, there is literally no way for the PCs to get a second PP.

Now listen, I'm not stupid. I know that PCs don't earn a second PP every time, but I feel that I should at least give them a chance. Is there any official errata for this? Or is The disappeared no like "We be Goblins" in that there is only one possible PP from it now?

You are not stupid, but you should reread the Guide to Organized Play - specifically the section about playing scenarios from season 0-4.
If you do that, you might find a reference to the Secondary Success Conditions Document.

Basically the factions missions are gone, but the characters have to perform better than just fulfilling their goal just as in modern scenarios.
The Disappeared Spoiler

Spoiler:

#4–11: The Disappeared
Primary: The PCs acquire the necessary evidence and
information to identify Zarta Dralneen’s whereabouts
and confirm her being framed.
Secondary: The PCs complete the scenario without
having the guards called (see the sidebar on page 6).

Thanks! I was tearing my hair out trying to find the errata (I knew their HAD to be one) but my google-fu was weak.

Thanks again!

Note to Paizo: make that document easier to find :)

There's no link to it on the GM Resources page, to begin with, at least as far as I can tell.

Keep in mind that you should still have the faction missions available. They can contain important flavour, and some players request them specifically.

Cuz they put it right at the top of the Scenarios page.

That wasn't intuitive enough for the OP, and I've been here since forever and didn't consider looking for it there (and I'm sure we're not alone). I think I originally got it from a blog post link.
