Thinking of how the silver flame pots were annoying to get for barbs but so essential for making them a viable solo toon... How about for 5000 favor they let you buy new potions of heal CL:20. It would be a lolworthy solution to byoh barb problems.
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.

DPS: If it's not solving all your problems, you simply aren't using enough of it.
I know its a specific feat, and somehow I doubt +1 to a specific spell school or weapon focus or a long list of heroic feats are in any way overpowered compared to the power on off through either enhancements or epic destinies. These days the majority of heroic feats pale in comparison to other sources of additional power.
While we are at it, can we please add a selection of +1 or +2 skill tomes to the 1750 favor reward for those TR characters who really don't need another +2 stat tome.
...
If you have become beloved of all, an exemplar of civic service, I don't think the people would chip in and offer a free service to kill yourself at the tree of life. You're a proven hero, they want you around. I'd propose free drinks!
The little guy:
When you go to buy food or drink at a Tavern, someone always buys for you and the barkeep always gives you the best.
[This would have to be a new BTC 'meal' that restores a character to full health and power at a speedy rate]
The merchants:
Since the caravans get through, since there is always a steady stream of stock and since the cities are safe, they are living like kings, business is good and they recognise that it is you that brought it about. +30% stacking on buy/sell percentages [which normally cap at about 50%, so now the merchants would 'only' be taking 20% - they're still merchants!]
The Sovereign Host:
Whether by choice or not you have served the Sovereign Host well and now even the gods recognise your efforts! While in a public place, regenerate 8HP + 16SP per 6 seconds. [Double the silver flame regen]
...no new stat or skill tomes, no TR, LR or XP stones, nothing particularly overpowered, just the small rewards that come from fame and friends.
This is a much needed change for sure.
As for the 5000 favor point, I too like the idea of +4 tomes and +4 to +5 upgrade tomes (of both stats and skills) and want to point out that whatever the reward is needs to be something that you keep when you TR. If the benefit only lasts until you TR then there is little motivation to bother getting to 5000 favor for most active characters. By the time you get 5000 favor you have done every quest and challenge and are probably level capped. At that point it is time to TR or put the character on the shelf because he is done.
i would want to see something that immediately screams "I hit 5000 Favor" the moment anyone see you.

The Lamannia release notes for Update 20 are out today and the reward for 5000 favor is a +5 ability tome of your choice. This does not guarantee it will make it to live but this is definitely great news for those that were looking for 5000 favor to have a meaningful reward.
It does take a fair bit to earn the 5k favor and being a BTC reward...
With DDO store offering +5 tomes regularly, and random drop +5 tomes being available to find throught the realms...
I think the 5000 favor would have been the place to introduce the +6 tome (not a upgrade tome .. a straight out +6 tome...) of your choice from the list... and possibly add other goodies to the list as mentioned in previous posts..
This would encourage players and TR's to run all the content for favor instead of zerg specific rinse/repeat quests for xp.
and ultimatey isnt in the best interest of the game to have everyone wanting to run all the quests all the time instead of a few select quests that are easier/worth more XP for quick completions.

While I would certainly have preferred +6 tomes instead I think the plan is to do much the same thing as the +2 tomes did for 1750 favor. It allows everyone that does not have their +5's already to catch up. We are now all 5 epic TR's away from having all our +5 tomes (can get one from Mabar too). And just like 1750 favor was when the +2 tomes came out, 5000 favor will get easier and easier to accomplish with each new expansion and quest pack until even those that cannot do any epic elite quests will be able to get the tome each life.
I don't have an issue with that.
Earning the 5k favor is a grind in itself and to do it each life essentially means no quests get skipped over the course of the character life as this would be great incentive to finish the life with every quest or at least enough to hit the 5k mark.
(currently you can't hit 5k, next update you would still have to run every quest and challenge Elite to hit the 5k mark.)
In the meantime tomes will drop or be purchased to be capped out at the end of each 5k favor life, I have already filled my main and an alt with +5's across the board as I am sure many others have as well.
As time goes on you will begin to be able to skip quests and still hit the 5k mark but by this point the bar will be raised anyway and we will be running level 60 stuff and be 5 years older.

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~)
