I'm adding to this discussion since the core issue is Ravenholdt Reputation.
Mind you, I've not played extensively in longer than I care to admit, but everything I read online seems to indicate that killing Syndicate mobs should yield 5 reputation - at least from friendly to honored. Currently, it yields nothing and appears that once you reach friendly reputation via Syndicate badges, nothing further can be done to improve this until you are high enough level to pick pocket farm 50+'s in BRS etc.
Is this intentional? Is it how it always was? Seems to make the entire faction pretty pointless as, by the time I can earn the item of interest to me, it will be trash.
And yes, this is about the
Olmann Sewar.
