Overview

Reward Token

Reward Tokens are spent within the Paragon Rewards Program to permanently unlock items, costumes, powers, and perks that are otherwise restricted by subscription or purchase through the Paragon Market. They are earned by having paid for subscription time to City of Heroes, City of Villains or City of Heroes Freedom, now or in the past, and can also be earned by buying Paragon Points.

Reward Token Acquisition

VIP Players
  • VIP Players are given one Reward Token with account creation.
  • VIP Players who were subscribers prior to Freedom launch will gain a variable number of reward tokens based on previous paid subscription time. This is a one-time grant and takes place at Freedom launch.
  • VIP Players are granted one Reward Token for spending any amount on the Paragon Market. The minimum purchase quantity is 400 Paragon Points.
  • VIP Players are granted one Reward Token for purchasing 1,200 Paragon Points on the Paragon Market. (Cumulative; it needn't be all purchased at once.)
  • VIP Players are granted one Reward Token for having applied a retail code. (One token maximum; not one per box.)
  • VIP Players are given one Reward Token per month of paid subscription time after Freedom launches.
    • These tokens are available immediately after paying. For example, buying a 12 month subscription plan immediately credits 12 reward tokens to your account.
    • There is an additional Reward Token granted for every twelve months subscribed. (Cumulative; it needn't be twelve months in a row.)
Premium Players
  • Premium Players are given one Reward Token with account creation.
  • Premium Players who were subscribers prior to Freedom launch will gain a variable number of reward tokens based on previous paid subscription time. This is a one-time grant and takes place at Freedom launch.
  • Premium Players are granted one Reward Token for spending any amount on the Paragon Market. The minimum purchase quantity is 400 Paragon Points.
  • Premium Players are granted one Reward Token for purchasing 1,200 Paragon Points on the Paragon Market. (Cumulative; it needn't be all purchased at once.)
  • Premium Players are granted one Reward Token for having applied a retail code. (One token maximum; not one per box.)
Free Players
  • Free Players are granted one reward token with account creation.
    • Note that Free Players cannot progress beyond this level. Progression requires purchasing Paragon Points or subscribing.

Converting from Veteran Rewards Program

NOTE: All rewards already unlocked with the original Veteran Rewards Program will be automatically selected by the Paragon Rewards Program, even if the reward has been moved beyond the tier an account is able to access.

For a veteran from before City of Heroes Freedom launch, you can simply add up your veteran rewards badges, add one additional token for every complete year subscribed (every four badges), plus one for having an account, and plus one token if a retail code has been applied to your account (ONE TOKEN TOTAL, not one per retail code). To clarify the previous statement, players who started with a Buddy Code from Valentine's Day 2006 theoretically can have never applied a retail code, and still have a valid account. Additionally, after Freedom launches, retail codes are no longer required to play the game. For other ways to earn tokens, see Reward Token Acquisition.

You can find the number of tokens you are entitled to by finding your highest veteran reward on the following table, add one for having an account, then add one if your account has a retail code.

Reward Tokens to Veteran Rewards Level
# Tokens Veteran Level   # Tokens Veteran Level
1 3 Months   19+20 48 Months
2 6 Months   21 51 Months
3 9 Months   22 54 Months
4+5 12 Months   23 57 Months
6 15 Months   24+25 60 Months
7 18 Months   26 63 Months
8 21 Months   27 66 Months
9+10 24 Months   28 69 Months
11 27 Months   29+30 72 Months
12 30 Months   31 75 Months
13 33 Months   32 78 Months
14+15 36 Months   33 81 Months
16 39 Months   34+35 84 Months
17 42 Months   36 87 Months
18 45 Months   37 90 Months

Veteran months listed in blue grant an additional token for the yearly bonus.

Additionally, the reward tiers look as follows:

Reward Tier # Tokens
1 1
2 2
3 3, 4, 5
4 6, 7, 8
5 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
6 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
7 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27
8 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34
9 35+

Owning (but not necessarily slotting) the number of tokens to complete a tier opens that tier's rewards permissions.

Paragon Rewards Badges

For every Reward Token earned a veteran badge is awarded immediately, even if not the token is not slotted.
