Ring of Mara..
So, I was playing with a friend for a month. When we first started playing, I had no idea he was going to unsub and quit playing after a month, so I told him that seeing as how we both bought the Imperial Edition, to use our Mara rings, to get the experience boost.
He has since quit, and now I'm stuck with a ring that I cannot use, because he is no longer playing the game. Am I screwed?

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

I would really like for someone to come tell me I'm wrong, but so far as I know you are, indeed, screwed. This is why I haven't used my ring yet... only for love~~~
He will bring life to the dead, hope to the living, and for him the Gate will open.

Which sucks, because now I can't reuse my ring, ever again.War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.1

✭✭✭Only thing I can say is that you don't need Imperial edition yourself to use Rings of Mara - everyone with Imperial Edition has a PAIR of rings they can use, one themselves, the other to give to their partner. But from the way you sound, I imagine you used your rings, not your partner's?0 -

No, imperial edition players are given a scroll, not a pair of rings, that does the ritual of mara when used with someone next to a statue of mara, in which creates two bound rings, one for each character participating in the ritual.
@OP, there's nothing you can do about it. Just hang onto the ring and hope he resubs at some point and wants to play again.Edited by Arsenic_Touch on June 11, 2014 9:57AM☠ Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured? ☠

Ah, k. I wasn't sure because I wasn't the one with Imperial edition in my case:) ANd I stopped using it ages ago anyway, in non-vet I outleveled everything even without it, in vet there're funer rings to use.Arsenic_Touch wrote: »Only thing I can say is that you don't need Imperial edition yourself to use Rings of Mara - everyone with Imperial Edition has a PAIR of rings they can use, one themselves, the other to give to their partner.

Either way, if OP used HER(his?) scroll she(he)'s screwed I suppose. If it was the partner's scroll then she(he)'d need another partner.

reagen_lionel✭✭✭✭the use of the rings of Mara is soooo poorly thought out.
sooooo poorly. Its why I am being veeeery selective about mine. By the time most who has rings get to use them, they'll be near max level already just because of the nature Zenimax has made the rings.1 -

✭yeah u are screwed, its a one time deal, if they made it possible to transferee it would get exploited to death1 -
Well, I know you can transfer the rings between your characters by putting it in the bank. But if my friend has legitimately unsubscribed and does not plan on coming back, then I essentially wasted a % of money. Kinda ticks me off. And it royally sucks that customer service wont do anything about it either.

Yeah, I have the imperial edition, and both scrolls get used when we went through with the ritual.

So do I understand correctly that the experience boost from the ring only works if you are grouped with the person you are linked to? This thread makes it sound that way since the OP obviously still has the ring.0

That is correct. It only works if you're grouped with the character that you performed the ritual with.☠ Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured? ☠

At this point, I'd rather just hire a person from the Morag Tong and assassinate my 'spouse'. That no good n'wah, I know what he's doing. He's behind the local Denny's with those shifty mudcrabs.. selling them moonsugar.War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory.

@Arsenic_Touch
I heard differently. Works as long as you both are wearing the ring and are online at the same time, no group is involved0 -

✭You are mistaken then. Only works while it's equipped and grouped together. Don't have to be near each other, just grouped. This is from eso customer support.☠ Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured? ☠
