    Well, aside from looking on the exchange under "Systems Engineer" (I believe it's a subcatagory of "Operations" doffs) and crying about the 30 million EC price tag...

    I know Aegis sets sell well and Fleet ship modules do as well if you can afford the zen to get them or the dil to make them (in the case of the Aegis set)... sell 5 FSMs and you'll have your doff.

    the keys normaly sell best...especially inbetween lock boxes, when they reduce the zen price on keys.
    1 key = 1,7 to 1.9 million EC
    that is like 18 million for 1000 zen
    Go pro or go home

    Did you even read the wiki link? It tells exactly where marion comes from and how to get said item...

    If you don't want the exact answer your looking for, what the hell do you want?
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    Thats a great answer, thanks for the contribution, I was curious how to find Marion in the game if I wanted to grind vs. pay but you give me the solid answer of telling me to be friends with WIKI. Been there, done that but thanks for being the smartest guy on the planet. Next.

    To break it down simply: You have to use a Temporal Beacon (which can be obtained via the Temporal Lockbox or via the Exchange) to initiate a Duty Officer mission associated with said beacon. If you critical success the mission, it will award one of twelve Duty Officers. One of these officers is the Marion doff.

    That's why it costs 30 million EC on the Exchange. It isn't exactly easy to get. Even if you have a doff setup that almost guarantees a critical success, you only have a 1 in 12 chance of getting the Marion doff.

    Ha! I think you might need to put your handbag down. That page tells you how you can get the doff without using the exchange which is exactly what you asked for.

    Either you buy Marion for 30-40Mil on the exchange (Sell Master-Keyes, check current prices before selling)

    or

    You do these Temporal Beacon Doff missions, what is a lottery and no guarantee to get Marion.


    You have those 2 options, deal with it. We must to.

    Using Marion is like using Quantum Singularity Manipulation. It's an 8 second fleeting bonus. I'm convinced the Voth diplomat is the counter Cryptic came up with since it drains weapons power.

    I got a Marion today by opening a temporal duty officer "box" I got from a temporal lockbox. I was rather shocked to see the "cheapest" KDF Marion is 50 million ec. Get mine for 49 ! :D

    Doh and No. I did not realize he had even actually added a link. My apologies all and thanks!

    Wow, that does explain some of the extreme cost, always thought they were well over-priced but now I see at some of why it is so high. Thanks for the detail.

    Yep, thanks. I should have realized he actually put a link in the response. But I am going to use "you might need to put your handbag down", instant classic I got a good chuckle from.

    I'm seeing an awful lot of "Marion is worth 30 mil" in this thread.

    If ANY of you have a Marion doff you're willing to part with for just 30 mil you let me know. :eek:

    *Chuckle* If I could unbind mine to sell a couple of em, I would.

    Bought 3 on a Fed a LOONG time ago when they were only a couple million each.

    It's just a figure I pulled out my TRIBBLE, really. I haven't logged into the game for 2-3 months, so I don't know what the prices are :)

    I just know they're really expensive.

    I must have really missed out on when all of this stuff was cheap. I still hear of instances when things like the Plasmonic Leech only cost a million, where as now it's 20 mil a pop. ( I got a real bargain at 7 mil compared to todays prices) It sure is tough for casual players just starting today to get to a point where they stand a chance considering the significantly higher cost of entry compared to what Veterans paid. No wonder pvp is so neglected by the player base.

    Plasmonic Leech was 1 million when Cryptic stabbed the KDF in the back and gave the Federation access to it via the Tal Shiar lockbox (which dropped last summer). As the lockbox was dropping at the time, there was a huge supply of the Plasmonic Leech consoles. Hence the low price. KDF still have to buy it via obtaining the Vandal destroyer from the C-store for 1000 zen.

    Parallel to that, I bought all of my characters and friends in my fleet rechargeable shield batteries when they were going for 60k EC each.
