Indeed. It is still 440PP when the entire pack including it is only 400PP.

Isn't the Magic Bolero something silly like 440 points too?
I'm not sure just skimmed past the bits a few days ago and shook my head at the pricing.

Is there any way to confirm that pack contains it? I couldn't see high collar listed anywhere.
NCsoft support has told me that the 440pp price is not a bug but intended.
Still trying to get official confirmation that it's part of the magic bundle. No one I have found has bought that bundle post-i21 (just because it was part of the booster is irrelevant, as they changed a lot about boosters -> bundles. and the only spreadsheet I found was player generated, and may also just be assuming).
Hi there,
The 440 Paragon Point Price is intended and yes, the Cape you're referring to is included in the Magic Costume Bundle.
Hope that answers your question!

It's really intended that a piece from a costume bundle costs 40 points more than the entire bundle itself?|

Unless you can explain why one piece of a set costs more than the whole set together?
Especially when such a piece has been long time bugged, and AFAIK, still not fixed? (Which sort of derails the anticipated argument: "It gives you access to all cape styles at level 1!" Which is likely a bug, and not for the female model it doesn't, which is also missing a Magic Cape style, Occult.)

I just purchased that package . Both the magic bolero and Magic cape packages came with it.
So, buyer beware, it sounds like.
Seems a little silly.

damn, had I known it was in the bundle I would have bought the bundle and saved myself hassle.
Please take in to consideration listing the contents of all market bundles, rather than just saying how many pieces there are in it

No, it's newbie fleecing.
If you bought it in the costume generator you'd never even KNOW there was a magic pack bundle for sale.

I just bought the Magic Costume Pieces bundle and this is what was included:
Witch Tight Boots
Witch Wing Boots
Baron Boots
Magic Cape Package
Witch Bare Chest
Witch Lace Chest
Witch Leather Chest
Witch Lace Gloves Pattern
Witch Tight Gloves
Witch Wing Gloves
Witch Classic
Witch Wing
Magic
Occult
Renegade
Skull Mask
Wizard Beard
Arcane Hood
Magic Bolero Jacket Package
Baron Jacket
Baron Sleeves
Witch Skirt
Witch Bare Leggings
Witch Lace Leggings
Witch Leather Leggings

This isn't true, for the most part, any longer. The Occult types for the collar and cape are still missing for females, but they do get to use any of the other cape options with the High Collar cape that Male and Huge can right from creation. I'm still fairly certain that it was a bug that Males and Huges could use the other cape types with the High Collar right from level 1, but they decided to proliferate the bug to Females and turn it into a feature that they could charge more than the whole bundle for, I guess.

The Magic costume bundle, which includes a four hundred forty point cape, is four hundred points. You are discounting the cape 40pp and giving the rest of the magic costume pieces away for free.
What kind of magic mushrooms are your marketing people eating over there that that makes ANY kind of sense?
PS; if someone is naive enough to purchase the cape and then wishes to purchase the magic bundle for the rest of the magic items, they have now paid EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY POINTS (that's more than ten bucks!) for something that should never, ever, EVER be rationally possible.
You unlock the basic capes - this includes like 20 different cape styles!!!! - for something like 120 or 160pp. YOU UNLOCK THE MAGIC CAPE FOR 440PP??!!! What are you SMOKING? O.o Really!

This is why we need a Paragon Market forum, so we can warn other players of moronic pricing like this and point them towards the better deals.
Really, over $5 for a cape? Madness.
FYI, this item has been repriced at 300 PP for the last couple months.
Sorry for the necropost.

Yeah. And it's really hard to figure out what is and isn't in a costume bundle. The Paragon wiki usually only has pre-Issue21 information, referring to Super Boosters and such. (I assume it's pre-Freedom, I've only started playing in December).|

It seems they are trying to make the store confusing on purpose, so you buy the same things multiple times and spend more points and thus Dollars/Euros. It's the only sane explanation I have for the way things are set up.
The store does know what's in a costume set. It shows you a list after you bought it.

Mind you there aren't any other items on the market that are significantly overpriced also **cough** **cough**
I want to buy this, please fix it already :/ Saw another topic about this over a week ago, but couldn't find it to bump it. Obviously it's not supposed to be 440 points by itself.
Thanks.
