Paragon Rewards Program
From Paragon Wiki Archive
Template:Issue21
Overview
The Paragon Rewards Program was introduced to take over from the Veteran Rewards Program. Instead of granting a specific reward every three months, it allows a player to choose which reward they want out of a tier-restricted "tree" of rewards by spending Reward Tokens.
Description
The Paragon Rewards Program includes powers, costume pieces, base items and other additional gameplay perks. It also allows Premium Players to access to game features otherwise restricted to VIP subscribers. Content and features unlocked via Paragon Rewards stay unlocked for that account, regardless of subscription status, except for Tier 9 VIP rewards.
Reward Token Acquisition
VIP Subscribers
- VIP subscribers 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).
Premium Players
- VIP subscribers and Premium Players are granted one Reward Token for spending $15 on the Paragon Market, which equates to 1,200 Paragon Points.
- Premium Players who were previous subscribers will gain a variable number of reward tokens based on previous paid subscription time. This will help someone figure out how many Reward Tokens should be awarded.
Free Players
- Free Players are granted one reward token with account creation.
Rewards Tiers
There are nine tiers of rewards. Tiers are composed of one to seven reward slots, which include previous Veteran Rewards Program items and new items. It also includes a set of Tier 9 VIP rewards at that are restricted to VIP Players.

Converting from Veteran Rewards Program
For a veteran from before City of Heroes Freedom launch, it takes a simple math formula to assess the number of tokens an account will have.
N/4 + N/12 (N = Number of months subscribed; round down)
For those that prefer not to have to do the math above, you can simply add up your veteran rewards tokens and add one token for every four veteran badges. You can find the tier you are entitled to by finding your highest veteran reward on the following table.
| Tier | Veteran badges |
|---|---|
| Tier 9 VIP | Tier 9 status + being a current subscriber. |
| Tier 9 | 84+ Month Veteran Rewards players. |
| Tier 8 | 66, 69, 72, 75, 78, 81 Month Veteran Rewards players. |
| Tier 7 | 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 63 Month Veteran Rewards players. |
| Tier 6 | 33, 36, 39, 42, 45 Month Veteran Rewards players. |
| Tier 5 | 21, 24, 27, 30 Month Veteran Rewards players. |
| Tier 4 | 12, 15, 18 Month Veteran Rewards players. |
| Tier 3 | 6, 9 Month Veteran Rewards players. |
| Tier 2 | Premium Players, 3 Month Veteran Rewards players. |
| Tier 1 | Free to Play players that have not purchased anything. |
