[UPDATE] "Virtual" leitmarks no longer virtual I just got some mail this morning - the two leitmarks that I have on the leaderboard (red and orange)
They're a lot like the other leitmarks that we've seen except identical to the graphics of the ones on the leaderboards I'd show pictures but lost me camera ages ago
Came with a little letter from the Perplex City Academy saying:
Dear Player,
I am pleased to award you your Leitmark, in recognition of the hard work you have put into helping the people of Perplex City find the Receda Cube. We are very grateful for your assisstance, and hope that this will be the beginning of a long relationship between our two worlds.
Regards, [signed Sente]
Master of the Perplex City Academy

Got my 4 too, the green one has "AND GYVANN SAID DOUBT NOT THAT THE CUBE SP" as the white letters.
Also the red and green leitmark have small squares of the same colour, where the yellow has none, and the orange has a yellow square.

The envelope was addressed to 'Red Orange Yellow Green'
which is rainbow order, implying the next will be: Blue Indigo Violet??
The green one has letters across it,
The highlighted ones read:
"And Gyvrnn said doubt not that the cube sp"

Surely the other ones will be blue purple black silver, like the card categories ?

It was just conjecture on my part,
It's just that you don't get the red one for completing all the red cards etc.
but yes, most likely the colours will match the other cards.

Ah man! Beat me to it Kraed! Well done!
Very intriuged this morning when I saw the envelope!
I managed to get Green, Orange, Yellow and Red.
I did hear that silver and black were awarded for certain points, so perhaps they are next in line after blue and purple?
Green pic isnt up yet I noticed but I wont put mine up cos my camera is crap and you'll just see a green blur

Ahem *Great oratory voice*
"And Gyvann said doubt not that the cube speaks or that its voice is heard"
*bows*
thank you[/b]

Here is a pic of the green one,
I'm not brave enough to remove it from the packaging yet.
The card colours are kind of in the rainbow order anyway,
I've just never noticed before.

Red leitmarks are awarded at 950 points, orange at 2,300, yellow at 4,500 and green at 5,900. Academy sources say the leitmarks are available through to black and silver,
This is from the Sentinel, The leitmarks are obviously frollowing the card colours, possbibly once all the red cards have been released they will add up to 950 points? (inc set solves) and so on for the other sets

Nice idea but the total number of points available from red cards will almost certainly be 144 (288 with set solves) - so unless there was an über-bonus for solving all cards of the same colour I think this is unlikely.
Also it would mean that solving all yellow cards gives you more points that solving all greens.

Good point but why would solving all yellow give you more than all green? Surly there are the smane number of cards per colour and it goes Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Black and Silver.
