Overview

also called: Goodie Packs, Booster Packs, Item Packs

A small expansion pack previously available exclusively through the NCsoft Store. Each pack was themed and came with various perks, which included costume pieces, powers, badges, and/or emotes.

As of City of Heroes Freedom/Issue 21, these boosters and item packs are generally no longer available unless tied somehow to a box set (e.g. Cyborg/Magic choice with Architect Edition, GvE's goodies, etc). The individual components of these packs have been integrated into the Paragon Market.
