    Umm no. You can use em to help you get to Gold.

    The instant to Epic Mk 15 is called "Ultimate Tech Upgrade" These are Universal Tech Upgrades.

    Unfortunately, no, those are Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrades: 30,000 Tech Points, No Quality Improvement Chance.

    As a comparison, the Phoenix Universal Tech Upgrade: 51,200 Tech Points, Standard Quality Improvement Chance.

    misleading quote from the blog. the papers won't even give any quality points ^^ this last giveaway is in the "meh" category. omega upgrade papers would be better. and of course, key ring bundle ones would be much better.

    Yeah, I just collected. It is the Universal Enhanced Upgrade...like the ones we used to get once a week on those FE Mission Events.

    +30,000 Tech Points
    No Quality Improvement Chances
    No Dilithium Cost

    Use on Any Upgrade-able Item.

    phoenix upgrades are better... these cant improve quality at all.

    Yeah this seems like a step back from the 5 Phoenix Prize Packs which for me ended-up being 5 Greens so transformed into upgrades so this is less than yesterday. I thought with Cryptic's giveaways they try to end on a high note? Then again free is free & these 2 upgrades I'm sure will eventually help-out down the road. Now 1 or 2 "Ultimate" account upgrades would've been a spectacular end to the giveaway & a generous surprise which is why it probably didn't happen lol.

    No, not Ultimate or even Mucho Grande Upgrades. Better than Romulan though. ;)

    I didn't see an official thread for the bank and inventory slots, so I'm posting this here.

    There's no reason for the "Anniversary Services Giveaway" pack to be bound to character. It should be bound to account so that we can give it to the character who needs the inventory and bank slots the most. Now, we're stuck with opening the box on whichever character we happened to claim it on.

    Same here,since this thread for the previous giveaway wasn't closed with a new one created I'll just post here. Today's anniversary giveaway was a big surprise to me. I thought yesterday was it & it was luke-warm imo. Today's 12 Inventory & Bank slots are well done & appreciated Cryptic. Sure it is only for 1 character but that still helps that character & an account overall. Thanks again for the extra day, imo, surprise gift.
