Certificate of Mara

SparkleMagick
I was under the impression that the certificate of Mara s account bound, and can be used on alternate characters under the same account. I used the certificate and performed the ceremony, and the certificate has disappeared of my main character, and is not showing under any of my alts. Is this happening with other players as well? I would like the Xperia bonus since I did pay for it via the imperial edition.

    Check your bank for the ring of mara. You equip this ring when playing with your espoused to gain the effects.

    I do have the ring, but it that what is used between characters, or do you use the ring for the ceremony each time after the first time you do it

    It sounds like he/she is asking if the ring is transferrable between other characters on the account. Amirite?

    After the ceremony you can equip the ring to gain the benefits only when the player you married is with you wearing the ring as well. You can bank the ring and switch it between characters.
    The ring will give you no benefits when playing by yourself or with anyone that has not performed the ceremony with you.

    You are correct. Other friends that have done the pledge still have their certificate.

    Not to barge in here, but the thing I always wondered was is the marriage between two characters or two accounts?

    I have not treated this but I recall it was account bound. I know I can equip it to my other characters but have not tested to see if the bonus still works. My assumption is that it does work, but assuming is just that.

    Gotcha. Thanks for the response. Hopefully the OP/we find a more definitive answer soon.
  • SparkleMagick
    I would think you would have to do the pledge for the XP bonus. Hopefully we get more info

    The pledge is between two characters. You will see that your ring has the name of the other person's character on it, not their account.

    I don't know about the Imperial Edition pledges, but the ones from the Crown Store are 1-time use only.

    That's what I thought. I should mention that this is happening on console (Xbox One).
  • SparkleMagick
    Has anyone else had this issue? I still have not been able to retrieve my pledge since this happened. The other player I pledged to has a bugged main quest line and cannot progress in the story...they can't get the Harborage quest line with the speaker. Is this something I should submit a ticket on, or just count my loss and move on

    I would always say submit a ticket, but in my (limited) experience, expect the first two e-mails to be automated letters - so keep all of them and keep replying to them.

    I bought the Imperial edition (pre-crown store) and my husband bought the Explorer edition (pre-release) and in both cases the ring of Mara was a one-time use between characters, not accounts and disapeared after use.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    The certificate disappears upon use. Regardless of what you've heard, this is the truth. As I've used them before.

    This counts for Imperial Edition and Crown Store pledges.

    Speaker?
    Are you still in "The Tower"? (lol)
    I do that too.

    Repeat after me..."The Prophet". ;)
