Is this against the rules?

Seeing as all adventure packs are free for now, I had an idea, but if it's against the rules I dunno if I want to risk it on my main account.

If I were to create 5 new accounts, and have my main account help them farm the 100 favor on all 8 public servers (1000 TP/account). could I buy 50 Jewels of fortune/account (2 of the x25 minor jewels/account), and use them on my main account's character without it being considered cheating and getting banned?

Hell, you could buy 2 of the x10 huge jewels per account (total of 800 TP/account), which would total to 120 hours of the buff/account, or 600 hours of +2 loot on your main character...

Better yet, what items are unbound from the store and worth buying instead?

Edit: Astral shards could be purchased, but to use the astral shard exchange would require going premium (defeating the purpose).

Please PM me if this is risking exposure to a fun exploit, and I'll delete the post.

Not an exploit so it's not cheating.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

OP, if your goal is to increase drop rates of named items, you need "Elixirs of Discovery."

They are NOT available in the DDO Store. You can only get them from Silver and Gold Daily Dice rolls.

Is there a better use for alternate account TP? Tomes were bta, as were xp pots, and it didn't look like the xp pots could be cast on a friend.

Should I use the TP on shards and gold roll with it all?

Edit: Augments/Cannith Crafting Mats look like a better alternative/ I could also grab mimic bait on the alts to help farm for the main...

You can even do exactly the same with free quests before the "everything is available" patch.  You end up effectively making around minimum wage even if you did the run to 100 with an Elite opener higher level character running the quests for you, so I wouldn't bother doing this as a way to earn money, but if you're super broke at the moment, it's at least possible.

This is false. They are exclusive to Gold Daily Dice.

Ok, I've done so many Silver and Gold rolls (including on the HC server), I might have confused getting a 5% Elixir of Discovery on a Silver roll.

Sue me.

They are as exclusive to gold rolls as your mom is to your "dad".

You get two elixirs in each Improved Epic Box, dumdum.
