How to activate booster packs?

Hi, sorry if this has been answered before, but im a newbie, a mac user, and still getting used to everything

anyway, i bought the architect edition the other day, and while i was setting up my account, it asked me which freebie booster pack i wanted (i picked magic, not sure if that matters), so now i'm wondering what to do to activate it, because i've dug into the character creator pretty deep with all 3 genders (it still feels weird saying that lol) and have yet to see any costume pieces that look like they were part of the set (witch, wizard, etc.), and none of my characters have the "mystic fortune" power- is there somewhere in-game or on-site i need to activate it, or did i somehow get screwed out of my freebie?

thanks in advance

If you only have one account, it should have automatically applied to your account as you were creating it. If it didn't, contact support and they'll be able to get you fixed up.

What section of the site/game should i go to to contact them?

Welcome to the game!

If your Magic booster was successfully applied to your account, you should have "Mystic Fortune" power in list of Inherent or Temporary Powers (I forget which). It may not be automatically put onto your power trays.

If you log into your PlayNC master account, and your COH account, it should show that the superbooster was applied.

I don't recall the specific names of the extra costumes granted by the Magic pack, but they should show in the character creator under "pre-sets".


www.paragonwiki.com is a great source of information for this game.

Well, with this new information, i double-checked, and no, it was NOT applied- im even looking at my master/COH account thoroughly and i haven't even SEEN the words "booster pack" aside from when i first created the account and it asked me which one i wanted (which they ultimately didn't give me)

For some reason i couldn't ask a question on the support page either

Send a petition in game, then.

You should have an option to "Apply Serial Codes" and the codes you have available will be listed there.

The only unused serial codes i have are for a trials for Guild Wars/Lineage 2, neither of which i can use on my mac- nothing about booster packs

what's the in-game petition command?

Open your main menu and look near the bottom for "support". This will open the petition window.

It won't actually show up as "booster pack" in the section that lists the codes you have already applied. It should be listed as "perk" followed by the date it was applied.

Ok, next thing to check is if you go to Account Summary you should see all the codes you've applied. You should see the Architect Pack, then below that should be "Perk".

The only code it says i've applied is listed as "retail", from when i paid for my first month with a gamecard

I never received an actual serial number for the booster i selected when signing up- is that how it's supposed to work, or under normal circumstances does it give you one after you select it

anyway, i'll try a petition and hope that works

The booster packs (in fact, IIRC, anything you buy from the online store) don't give you a serial number on the webpage, but you do get an email titles "Serial Code Applied" which as the serial in the body of the email.

It sounds like your account was never credited with purchasing the AE Edition, just the (Retail) Mac Pack. Double check your bank or financial records (Paypal, Credit card, whatever you used) that the purchase was completed. If you can't find a record in your payment record it is possible that you just never finished the purchase process.

In most cases, when you buy from the site, at the end of the process it gives you the option to apply the code to your account. You just hit a button and it auto-magically links the serial code to your account without you having to retype it.
