    Default 5000 Favor Reward

    A previous favor thread got me to thinking. With update 20 and level 30 on the horizon, it should be possible to reach 5000 total favor soon.

    What should the reward be to achieve this epic accomplishment?

    I think it should be a BTA +5 supreme tome of ability and skill (+5 to all).

    A reward would be good but that is so ridiculously OP..

    Every person that earns 5000 favor will have a bug of their choice fixed in their name*.














    *Only 4990 favor is achievable through questing; additional favor is available in the DDO Store at 595 TP each. Content created after 4999 favor becomes the cap will no longer provide favor; instead they will give Turbine Tokens which provide bonus TP whenever the owner purchases Turbine Points through the Store or Market.

    I was going to say that's a bit over the top as a reward but Turbine's tendency to obliverate loot mechanisms at an increasingly quick pace has me saying... maybe? I mean +5 Mabar tomes right around the corner, and saga skill tome rewards is about 1/3 an update old (considering how often its been closed...)

    So why not? Drive the final nail into raids and kill sagas cuz, you know, they're popular.

    Considering that there's only 3 ways to achieve this, those being:
    •VIP that bought both expansions
    -or-
    •Premium that bought all content
    -or-
    •Some combination of content ownership and store bought guest passes

    The reward should be suitable to the investment of both the time and finical resources required to obtain it. I was also thinking it should not be quickly obviated like the +2 Tome, or race/class unlocks. As our replaying content is a stated goal of Turbine ("the end-game potential of TRing...") the top favor reward should be desirable to earn on every character and re-earn on every life. It should appeal to as many "player types" as possible, from casual 2-4 Hr/weekers to serial TRers to cosmetic lovers.

    So with ^that^ criteria in mind, I've thought a tasty 5000 favor reward should be a choice of any one of the following:

    •Choice of Epic, Iconic or True Heart of Wood.
    •Any one +4 or +4 to 5 upgrade tome.
    •Recieve a store coupon for any one cosmetic armor.
    •Recieve a store coupon for any one cosmetic pet.

    I think having ^those^ as options would be enticing without being "over the top."
    I would still like to see... Something that tests character versatility and player adaptability rather than character focus strength and quest knowledge.
    I play the quests for the content of the quests not just as an XP/min merry-go-round.
    Actual play experience is worth infinitely more than theorycrafting...

    The thing to remember about total favour rewards is that, while they can be quite difficult to attain for a while, they get easier and easier to get to as more content is added.

    Look at PDK favor. When MotU first came out, you needed all the quests on elite, the raid and the challenges done to unlock the (very useful, and made more useful as time went on) vendor. Now it's fairly easy to get over 500, and the reward for that is.. oh, wait.

    5000 Favor should be a decent extra TP reward.

    5,000 Favor Reward: Congratulations! Your Completionist feat is now auto granted instead of having to take up one of your existing feats!

    Above is a joke... kinda.

    A feat that acts as both toughness and mental toughness at 5,000 favor would be cool. Have the description say something about how you are now a seasoned and well traveled adventurer and that your experiences have made you tougher and junk.

    It would be useful and not be over powered. Everyone can use more hp and sp after all.

    That's not a bad list for such an accomplishment and pretty much gives someone a choice they can make for each time they do it unlike our current list for 1750

    I like it!
    A lot better than a straight up +5 tome, anyway.
    Even with it, I'd love to see an actual list with variety, especially when it comes to Hearts- lets say you have the grit to stick to farming 5000 for 6 lives (or 5 lives + Mabar, or some other combination), then what use of farming it after? It's the same issue as +2 tomes at 1750, but even more painful.
    Actually, what I'd like to see is:
    •+5 Tome -> For those in their early TR lives
    •Choice of any Heart -> For those in their later lives
    •Special Feat, ala Draconic Vitality (via consumable item), disappears on TR -> for those on their end-life

    Covering all the bases, as it were


    (likewise, 1750 should offer XP tokens in its list~)

    How about a feat of your choice, possibly from a limited selection. A single extra feat is useful for everyone, and I wouldn't consider it to be overpowered especially if the feat was taken from the heroic list or even from a small selection of new feats. After all you can get a feat for Argonnessen favour, shouldn't be that hard to create a system to allow you to choose.

    Now I have an idea.
    Its probably over powered, but what the hell.

    For 5,000 favor, once per character (note, not once per account, not once per life, once per character) you get a permanent +1 skill point per level (+4 at level one).

    Also, once per life a free +0 lesser heart of wood.

    I'd like to see some of the "missing" favour rewards dealt with at the same time.

    250 Twelve favour = +10 Tokens of the Twelve, Huge Soul Gem Bag (BTC)
    500 PDK favour = +10 Heroic Commendations, Platinum Key to the City - can be used at will and acts as a bracelet of friends to summon others to Eveningstar
    5000 Total favour = Choice of: +4 Ability Tome, +2 Fate Tome, +5 Skill Tome, +500 TP, +50k Guild Renown, +250k XP

    or
    5000 Total favour = Unlock additional level 1 feat for all characters created or reincarnated on that server

    Then you'd have nothing to do in game, and at the forums!

    oh that would have be epic level feat at least, and of course it would be bugged initially so that the only threads you saw were actually Doom threads. Then once it was fixed it would have to be nerfed so that it only hid some Doom threads and not them all
