Qualifying for Tier 5

I am at tier 4 of the Paragon Reward scheme, currently. I have completely filled in all the tokens for tier 4, so that's 8 tokens in total.

If I receive one more token, do I then become tier 5? Or do I need to complete the tier 5 rewards (i.e. earn 5 more tokens) to qualify?

I ask because when I go to Premium I wish to play my MM characters, and I'd like to know if I need to spend £10.50 for 1 token or over £50 for 5 in order to do so as a Premium. Obviously if it's the latter, I'll spend 1 token on unlocking the archetype.

Cheers.

The first token you spend in a given tier elevates you to that tier for the purposes of unlocking features (subject to any known issues, which I don't think there are any of at the moment).

Paragonwiki says otherwise.

In order to get the Tier Bonus, a player needs only own that many Reward Tokens. The tokens do not have to be used in order to count for a Tier Bonus. For example, simply by earning eight Reward Tokens, a player will unlock the Tier 4 Bonus rewards, even if only one of those tokens has been slotted into a reward.

Tier 5 Bonus
Unlock Requirement: 13 reward tokens earned.
Owning 13 Reward Tokens grants the following to Premium Players: Access to Controller and Mastermind Archetypes, +3 Salvage Inventory, +3 Vault Inventory, +2 Recipe Inventory, +1 Auction House Slot

I'm in exactly the same boat with my second acct, 15mths Vet Rewards gained me enough tokens to completely fill tier 4 but it's a lot of money to unlock tier 5 to access my trollers and masterminds.

Thanks for the replies. I'd thought maybe to buy one month's VIP at £8.99 to earn the token to get me to tier 5, but if it's uncertain I may just buy the 1200 points to be sure, and spend them on the unlock if needs be.

You need to earn 5 more tokens.

I'll buy the unlock, then. A little disappointing, but ho hum. At least this game will cost me nothing more after that.

Did you make any Paragon Points purchases on that account? If not, you get +1 token for buying 400 points. You'll get the next token 800 bought points later and after that for every 1,200 points. So for your first 1,200 points you get 2/5 tokens. After that, 3 months subscription or 3,600 points bought and you'll complete Tier 5.

My second account is 10 tokens away, so I feel your pain.

I know you're trying to make it simple, but it's a lot less confusing to just say:

You get a token for the first time purchasing points, even if it's only 400pp. You also get a token every time you buy 1200pp, cumulatively, including bonus pp for buying large chunks.

I don't see myself playing this game regularly for the next three months, and paying for enough points to get to tier 5, even with the bonus token thrown in, defeats the point of the exercise as a budget option - it's still going to cost me £40.

I return intermittently to COH, but there really isn't enough to the game for me to justify paying the equivalent of the cost of a brand new game just to have the option of playing the characters I enjoy when the mood takes me. £10 is fine.

It's all good.
