Hello everyone. My original post is being edited now to take into effect the 3 Heavy Ammo Synth conversion, and make the post shorter for those reading it for the first time:
If anyone has been collecting a bunch of Strange Coins, you can buy 3 Heavy Ammo Synth per Strange Coin. With these synth, they can be redeemed for 31 Faction Rep each. Therefore, 1 Strange Coin (3 Heavy Ammo Synth) will turn into 93 Faction Reputation. If you buy 27 Strange Coins worth of Heavy Ammo Synth, those 81 can be turned in to completely rank up a Faction. It is believed that the only way to get the Exotic Quest from a Faction is to be a minimum of Level 25 Reputation, so this method can help rank up factions very quickly.
Math as of the 3 to 1 conversion:
2,500 / 93 = 26.8817 Strange Coins, or roughly 27. That's still a fair deal to rank up once, if you have a bunch of Strange Coins, or are trying to get to Faction Reputation Level 25/Shaders/Ships/Emblems.
Additional Information: Be Sparing with your Strange Coins since Xur will sell Three of Coins as well as new Exotic Armor and Weapons so make sure you still have Strange Coins to spend. Also, if you are sitting on a bunch of Heavy Ammo Synth, it is wise to not turn them in yet, as pre-DLC packages will only have pre-DLC contents. Wait until TTK, and then rank up your Factions, so you will get new weapons and armor immediately at the beginning of your journey. :)
This post is under the presumption that the quickest way to rank up through material exchange only (!) is by trading in Heavy Ammo Synth, and using Strange Coins acquired from Xur to do so. With the Nightfall Radiant Light buff, these were traded in for 31 Reputation, so looking forward, we may get more, or less.
Additional testing will be conducted with several variables after TTK:
-What will the reputation be when there is no Radiant Light buff?
-Will the Exotic Class items (From the Collector's Edition and the Faction Marks, Cloaks Bonds) allow more reputation gains?
-Will Xur lower his Strange Coin to Heavy Ammo Synth conversion even more?

125 motes of light for a faction rank up from 0 rep :)

3 RepliesIt's 33 strange coins for almost 2500 rep(2475 rep) without NF buff

1 ReplyOr I can just use the 1,400+ motes of light I have.

1 ReplySo roughly 670 strange coins for an exotic class item? Sounds nice.

Better abuse this quick, bungie will not let this loophole continue as they like to take anything that benefits the player

Radiant Light is not a thing anymore. It's 25 rep for 1 heavy synth

1 ReplyHow much rep does a note give
-
keep in mind that you always gain 5 coins 5 motes back for each lvl up
-
I've goten about 18 exotics in the past 2 days. Got to love three of coins :)
-
I'd recommend just buying the heavy ammo synth and waiting until the 15th when all the new faction package changes have been added, I.e. No more only getting 1 mote from packages, no repeat shaders, etc.
-
1 Replyyou are suppose to post stuff like this the day when xur is already in the tower not a day before so bungie can nerf him.
-
25 without radiant light I believe. Been doing this since the 2.0 dropped. Can also buy synths with consumables and other stuff. Very helpful. Works well. Got 2 FWC shaders off the 2 packages I decided to open, brings my total faction shaders to a grand total of *drumroll* [spoiler]2 lol[/spoiler]
