Work in Progress
This article is currently a work in progress. As such, it may contain some editing notes in addition to information. Please be patient, it is being worked on and will be in a finished state before long! The editor who marked this article as WIP added the following note:
So if anyone wants to go through the market and add a comprehensive list to the subcategories I added, feel free. The categories themselves were taken from the announcement page on the CoH site, so they may not be accurate. Article also needs pictures! For consideration: should there be a list of sale items kept up to date?

Overview

The Paragon Market was introduced with Issue 21/City of Heroes Freedom. The Paragon Market is technically an RMT option sponsored by NCsoft instead of breaking the EULA by buying from "gold farmers". Players can buy Paragon Points with real money, and then purchase items, costumes, archetypes, powersets, and content in the Paragon Market; 400 Paragon Points are also awarded monthly for keeping a VIP subscription.

Any Free Player who purchases from the Paragon Market will automatically be upgraded to a Premium Player.

Items

Items in the store can be manually searched for, or selected using the categories provided. They can be sorted by Best Selling, Price, or Alphabetically.

Paragon Picks

Paragon Picks are rotating featured items (which may or may not be on sale) that Paragon Studios is highlighting. These features may only last a couple hours, or a day, or they may last a week or more.

Developer Clarifications

In a post to the Official Forums on June 24, 2011, Ghost Falcon clarified details about the Paragon Market and Paragon Points:

Q: We’ve been told that all VIP players will receive 400 Paragon Points per month as part of their subscription. What exactly does this mean?

  • All VIP players will receive 400 Paragon Points per month as part of their VIP subscription. Currently, 400 Paragon Points is equal to $5.00 (USD).
  • Zwillinger Clarified that unlike Paragon Reward tokens, the Paragon Points in multi-month subscriptions are awarded monthly. They are not awarded upfront in a large lump sum.

Q: As a current subscriber to City of Heroes, I receive 400 Paragon Points per month starting on July 1st, 2011. What does this mean as we move towards City of Heroes Freedom?

  • From July 1st, 2011 until City of Heroes Freedom launch, *ALL* paying customers that have an active billing "day" within the month will receive 400 Paragon Points. (Please note Trial Accounts do not receive this benefit).

For example:

  • If you renew or start a regular game (non-Trial) account on July 1st, you will receive 400 Paragon Points for the month of July.
  • If you renew or start a regular game (non-Trial) account on July 31st, you will receive 400 Paragon Points for the month of July..
  • If your Subscription ends on July 2nd, and you choose to NOT reactivate your subscription, you will receive 400 Paragon Points for the month of July when City of Heroes Freedom launches.
  • For the months following, as long as you have an active account during that "month" (i.e. August, September, etc), your account will be credited with 400 Paragon Points for each month leading up to City of Heroes Freedom Launch.

Q: So I know that right now, 400 Paragon Points = $5.00 (USD) but what I don’t have an idea of is what exactly 400 Points can buy me.

  • As mentioned earlier, 400 Paragon Points is equivalent to $5.00 (US Dollars), and I’ve gone on record that 400 Paragon Points will allow players to buy a lot of "stuff". I’ve listed a smattering of pricing examples below, including the new Signature Stories, that will hopefully give you a better sense of general Paragon Point values. Please note that these prices (and others in our Beta) are currently the *target* prices, and may change prior to City of Heroes Freedom Launch.
Points Dollar Equivalent Item
20 $0.25 Wizard Beard (From the Magic Pack)
40 $0.50 Classic Steampunk Hat (From the Steampunk Pack)
40 $0.50 Pop Dance Emote (From the Party Pack)
60 $0.75 Bioluminescent Chest (From the Mutant Pack)
60 $0.75 Wolf Head (From the Animal Pack)
60 $0.75 Organic Armor Sword (From the Mutant Pack)
80 $1.00 Smoke Bomb Costume Change Emote (From the Martial Arts Pack)
80 $1.00 Wonderful Wind-Up Wings (From the Steampunk Pack)
80 $1.00 Runes Aura (From the Origins Pack)
100 $1.25 Technology Origin Cape (Impervium Mantle) (From Origins Pack)
100 $1.25 Uncommon Recipes
400 $5.00 Complete Magic Costume Set (from the Magic Pack)
400 $5.00 Signature Stories (VIPs get Signature Stories for free)
600 $7.50 Hoverboard Travel Power
800 $10.00 Character Server Transfer Token (VIPs get one transfer free per month)
800 $10.00 Character Respec
800 $10.00 Street Justice Powerset
800 $10.00 Kinetic Melee Powerset
800 $10.00 Costume Slot
1200 $15.00 an ArcheType (e.g., Controller or MM) (VIPs get all ATs for free)
1600 $20.00 5 Character Slot Tokens

Q: So let’s say I want to purchase more points than my monthly VIP allocation of 400. What different ways will I be able to purchase Paragon Points?

To cover both bases, I want to be sure to clarify the two ways players will be able to acquire Paragon Points:

  • The first is through VIP Subscription where VIP customers receive 400 free Paragon Points per month.
  • The second is through the in-game Store.
    • Points can be purchased in Paragon Point "bundles".
    • The smallest bundle size will be $5.00 for 400 Paragon Points.
    • If a player buys Paragon Points in larger bundles, additional Bonus Points will be added to the bundle. At this time, the "Bonus Points" for the higher bundle purchases is still being determined.
    • There will be several payment options for players, including various credit cards and Paypal.

We are exploring additional options for purchasing Paragon Points, and will update you once those plans have been solidified and set in stone.
