Reward Token

Overview

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 per month of paid subscription time and one additional Reward Token for every full 12 months of paid subscription time.
  • These tokens are available immediately after paying. For example, buying a 12 month subscription plan immediately credits 13 reward tokens to your account (12 "monthly" tokens plus the one "year" token).
• VIP Players are granted one Reward Token for spending $15 on the Paragon Market, which equates to 1,200 Paragon Points.

Premium Players

• Premium Players who were previous subscribers will gain a variable number of reward tokens based on previous paid subscription time.
• Premium Players are granted one Reward Token for spending $15 on the Paragon Market, which equates to 1,200 Paragon Points.

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

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 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.

You can find the number of tokens you are entitled to by finding your highest veteran reward on the following table, 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.

Reward Tokens and Paragon Rewards Badges

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