Earning Turbine Points
You gain 25 Turbine Points for each full 100 Favor gained by every character you ever make. Each character is tracked separately. Deleting a character does not erase the TP he or she earned.

Special Rewards
You gain bonus Turbine Points the very first time you reach certain total Favor thresholds on each server.

You can gain each bonus only once per server. (The first bonus may not be awarded until you talk to Dax

Boon in Korthos Village, check your award mail in-game in Stormreach, or both.)

A common recommendation for earning TP is to reach 100 favor on each server.

For each server you will earn 100 bonus TP for reaching 5, 25, and 50 favor for the first time on the server

and 25 TP for reaching 100 favor.

An example of the in-game Turbine Point Reward mail:
 From: The DDO Store Subject: Special Reward - Free DDO Store Points

Congratulations! As a special bonus to you in recognition for the first time your achieved ## total favor on the {SERVER} game world, you have been given ## additional Points to spend at the DDO Store!

To enter the DDO Store and start shopping, just click the gold coin icon at the far right of the main menu bar.

The more new quests you complete, the more points you will be awarded. Happy Adventuring! 

Spending Turbine Points
The only method of spending Turbine Points is using the DDO Store from within the game. There are many things available that you can spend them on, from Adventure Packs to XP & Loot Boosters. Go to the DDO Store wiki page for a list of items.
