i cant recall if i had to unlock the booster pack costume stuff at the vendor or if it was there already just because i had them.

can anyone confirm or deny that the boosters had to be purchased at the vendor or not? i checked Pwiki and it didnt answer my question.

You can use tickets to unlock the costume pieces and booster pack costume pieces for use on your custom critters in AE.
However, this is only for AE creation. You cannot unlock booster packs for use on your active toons using tickets (you have to buy them with real money on the NC Soft store). Also, having the boosters on your account does not unlock them in AE creator.

On the other hand, unlocking the costume pieces in AE unlocks them for any of your characters who are creating or editing mishes in AE.

They might not have gotten around to putting the Science pack in the AE yet. If so, feel free to bug the devs about it.

I was actully wandering about this myself. There are a few costumes that I unlocked in AE that I don't have for my own characters such as the GvE cape with the Arachnos Logo on it. But the booster pack stuff even though I bought it at AE I still don't have access to in AE. I thought you had to buy them AND have the booster packs to get them but I couldn't figure out why I have the GvE cape when I never bought it.

Basically.

I don't own GvE.

I unlocked the GvE cape in AE.

I'm still able to use the GvE cape but only in AE.

I don't own the Magic Booster Pack.

I unlocked the Magic Booster Pack costumes in AE.

I'm not able to use the Magic Booster Pack costumes at all.

Actually, the Arachnos logo cape isn't from GVE, it's from the City of Villains Collector's Edition.

And you have it right, you can unlock virtually all the costume pieces in the game with tickets, but they're only usable within the AE.

Incidentally, a lot of people use the AE enemy creator to test out new costumes for their characters (see the Save and Load functions at any tailor) before they buy or unlock them.

Funny, the only costume sets I've purchased is the costume recipes and vet pieces but I have NPC's using the Justice/Sinister from GvE and the Bolero from the magic pack. I happen to own both. In fact, I was using kilts and cropped shirts before I bought the AE vet pack too now that I think about it.

I'm pretty sure that anything you can do with your own characters you can do with NPC's in AE PLUS anything you've purchased with tickets.

hmmm cause i sorta remember not bein able to use my vet rewards or booster packs in AE till i got them from the vendor.... which is why i made a mad dash to get then all unlocked cause i was workin on an arc that most all of my actualy player toons where in and they all use booster pack stuff.


does anyone have the science pack stuff for AE critters or not?
still wondering which dev to talk to about this.
