Save from the ones that specifically state they reward X amount (like the Mirror Universe Reward one), if others are opened on a bonus mark weekend when they've been obtained outside of it, do they still reward extra marks?

    It doesn't seem like we will get any of those weekends again...

    Nope. I tested this quite a bit when we had the regular bonus mark events. Boxes that I opened from CEE normally had 60 with 80 during the bonus event. If I earned a box normally and opened it during the bonus event, I still got 60. Boxes that I earned during the bonus event but opened after it ended still gave 80. So the amount of marks in the box are determined when you receive it, not when you open it.

    The regular hourly mark events, the ones that were 3 hours a day, didn't affect mark boxes- but the mark weekend they had last month did. Was that a bug? Will the next mark weekend affect the boxes? Will there be another mark weekend? Only Cryptic knows and they're not going to say.

    Well while we are at it: does trading in epohhs elders give more marks during the event (if we ever GET another one...)?

    Yes, though it doesn't show on the trade in screen it shows in the yellow text in the chat box. We found this out in the the last one for Epohhs and radiation turn ins.

    The 3 hour events definitely gave bonus marks for boxes. If you weren't getting any, then that might have been a bug.

    Summer and Winter event boxes both got the "bonus" marks on the last bonus weekend.


    Presumably it will be the same if they ever have another bonus marks weekend, but given the way things look to be headed I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the next one to happen.

    I can confirm that this does work.

    It makes sense. In the past, the bonus marks event may not have been coded to give a bonus to every source of marks in the game, including items obtained previously, but it sure looks to me like the current bonus marks weekend(s) and bonus dili weelend(s), if any, are coded to add bonuses to all sources of the marks/dili no matter what...that's also what I read in the descriptions of the weekend events.

    (P.s. want the dili bonus weekend very much, and maybe the marks weekend, the rest, not worth setting aside weekend time for...)

    I have a fed science Vice Admiral with a good number of marks packages sitting in my inventory. Does anyone know how many marks are needed if I choose Nukara Marks to reach tier 5 and get the web mines?

    How will season 9 affect these packages if I leave them in my inventory? I don't suppose the Undine rep marks will be added to the packages.
