Overview

Super Booster II: Magic includes witch-styled costume pieces for female characters, magician- or wizard-styled costume pieces for male and huge characters, four juggling emotes, a card trick emote, four costume change emotes, and a tarot-reading power, Mystic Fortune, that grants buffs to the targeted player (not a self-buff). This purchase enables these features for all characters on the game account. It is available in the NC Store for $9.99.

Players who purchase the Architect Edition box set get a free code good for either Super Booster I: Cyborg or Super Booster II: Magic only. Super Booster III: Superscience and Super Booster IV: Martial Arts are not available.

As of City of Heroes Freedom/Issue 21, this booster pack is only available by applying an Architect Edition box set. The costume pieces, emotes, costume change emotes, and tarot power are available through the Paragon Market.

You can read the fortune of any player. This grants a random permanent buff for 20 minutes, and they may not have their fortune read again during that time.

Mystic Fortune grants a random "Fortune" buff to your target. Like Vengeance, it cannot be stacked multiple times. The buffs granted by Mystic Fortune are based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot, though not all of the Major Arcana are represented.

History

Two moving parts worn simultaneously. High Collar is used with Magic Bolero
  • This item was made available for purchase through PlayNC.com on April 14, 2009.
  • This item introduced costume change emote technology.
  • During initial release, a character could wear a cape or wings as well as the physics-enabled jackets granted by this booster pack. This was disabled due to performance issues, but characters who had already placed the two on a costume are allowed to keep them, as long as they do not edit and save the costume slot again. The Wedding Tux from the Wedding Pack, despite having physics-enabled coat tails, can still be used in conjunction with the High Collar cape from the Super Booster II.
