Lightning Spirit Marks

[maestro_3295]

I’ve been trying for days to get the lightning spirit mark. I’ve tried slashing and ranged. I’m level 112 in summoning. Is there an additional requirement I’m not aware of?

Seriously guys, I’m stuck here, please help.

If you don't own the DLC: Throne of the Herald, you won't be able to obtain said mark

Secondarily, if it shows a Sword Icon, that's Stabbing for Attack XP, Slashing is Strength XP aka the Flexing Arm Icon

Ranged & Magic don't have any alternate styles that would prevent them from being able to earn the mark in question, only Melee

Also you may want to make sure that you may have already gotten a mark, you will need to create a Summoning Tablet of the Mark before you can earn marks again for it

Good Luck & Have Fun

I infer from your reply that there are no other requirements I’m missing. Strange. All the other marks I’ve looked for showed up quickly. I’ll just keep trying I guess.

As a final follow up, does Into the Mist have to be completed?

I had tested it myself, with 7 hours offline on a test character in which I haven't done Into the Mist or Impending Darkness Event on & was able to get the Lightning Mark while using the Dragon Sword using Stab

You may be confusing the sword for melee in general, but it's really just using Stab not Slash if you are still unable to get it, I suppose your game could also be bugged, unless you don't own the DLC in question

You don't need to have completed any dungeon, as long as you have the DLC: Throne of the Herald

Be sure you're using the stab & not slash, if the weapon you are using only has slash, you may want to use something that has stab instead

Like I mentioned before, you may want to check & see if you already have the mark, if you do, create one summoning tablet, then you will continue earning them after that

You must create a summoning tablet after you get the mark to earn marks afterwards of any Summoning marks you find

Good Luck & Have Fun
