Merit stones - how to use?

Header says it all. Have stones from elite and ult. But desc not helpful in explaining how to invoke them. So what’s the secret?

Give a stone to one of your low level characters via the smuggler in Devil’s Crossing or in Crucible (if you have that dlc). Then right click it. Voila. It unlocks all the skill / attribute points from Normal and Elite (for ultimate merit). Besides it all rifts (portals) are unlocked too. So once you use the Ultimate Merit you can play at any difficulty - Normal. Elite, Ultimate . For example you can take all the shrines at Normal / Elite and then start playing at Ultimate or keep playing at Elite.

Thanks, will give it a try.

Like Garfunkel said, it’s a consumable item and works like any Potion or faction mandate/writ.

Well, it didn’t work. Right-click did nothing. Message at bottom of desc:

“You must be in the correct game mode to use this item”.

Same for both elite and ult stones.

Any ideas on what’s up here?

Don’t use the merits in Crucible. You must be in Campaign.

Don’t have Crucible. However, playing in a mod. Does that make a difference?

Probably. What mod?

Don’t think it matters, toap. Did some experimenting last night and it seems pretty clear the merits don’t work in custom. On the other hand, the shard waystones work fine. Dunno why one and not the other. Guess I’ll just have to live with it, unless someone else has a suggestion.

I recall merits being unusable on mods until Crate enabled them in some patch. I could be wrong, though, or maybe the mod doesn’t support merits.
