I just finished the Hall of Heroes quest which culminated in the hardest battle I've had in the whole game up to my VR5. I won the battle on about my 12th attempt.
I was awarded no experience points for completion of the quest (my xp notifier add on told me I had got points, but my character screen experience total had not changed).
I simply cannot continue to play this game, that I have been playing every day for over a month, if all my efforts are pointless.

See http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/114152/not-getting-xp-from-quests#latest.

The issue does appear to be in the UI, try doing a /reloadui or use a wayshrine and the XP display should update then.

Iv noticed this issue as well.

Example of what my addon showed last night.
+31000 exp for completing the quest.
-22000 exp with no explanation. My exp bar did not move and even though I completed most of the storyline quest in the zone.

I just gave up and did not consider it worth my time. I also noticed this on Dolmens in Cyrodil. I completed 5 Dolmens before noticing I was receiving 0 Vet exp for them. Not sure if that was intended or not.

Ill just PvP and wait for this to be fixed. Earning less then 9k for completing a quest chain is not worth it to me.

Same here. My toon just completed the ghost snake quest in Deshaan. He got the quest reward armor but not a tick of XP. @ZOS_GinaBruno, I'll try that relogging rick.

Let me tell you what is the only, single point of playing, friend. That when you get up from the computer, and you ask yourself "Have I been entertained for the last x hours?" the answer is yes. At the end of the day, your xp is just pixel, your gear is non existent and your progress in this game is nothing when you close your laptop. But if you have been entertained and had fun for your x hours of gameplay, that bit stays with you, that is the only bit that is really part of your life.

So if you had fun bringing down the boss, then those few hours of gametime were worth it. With or without xp.

OK, I finished 2 quests. One gave me the expected XP. The other gave me nothing. I was not simply a part of a quest. It was dealing with Scout Mamyne in the Obsidian Gorge. I received the end of quest message and was given a new one, Death Trap. As I recall, this quest gave a previous toon XP. Is this a purposeful change r a bug?

Yes I play to have fun, but without the xp I can't level up to experience more challenging areas to play in. So the xp is absolutely necessary to continue the game. There are only many quests/bosses/etc in ESO to get xp, so there is no point in continuing to play until the xp problem is fixed.

Hi guys,

Try writing down your XP prior to killing mobs or qurning in a quest, forcing a UI refresh (reload UI, re-log, or zone), and then see if you did indeed gain XP.

I thought I wasn't getting XP either on my VR8 DK, but it turned out I was and it's just the client not announcing it to me. Plus, at VR you get XP so slowly that I probably wouldn't have noticed it unless I wrote down the exact number (mouse over your XP bar in the character screen).

Hope that helps. (If it does't sorry )

That is exactly what I did. It did not help. Odd that some quests gave XP and others did not though.

I had this earlier one quest gave me xp the next did not, however I noted my xp down and then hit /reloadui the missing xp was added. Hope this helps

I got my XP when I logged in after the maint this morning. One thing that I think is related is I no longer get the message across my screen or the noise when I discover a new area. My map still updates by changing it to the filled in white color, but no 'ding' or message saying you discovered so and so wayshrine, or so and so villlage. I say it may be related because normally discoverinfg something new gives you xp.

It looks like some xp appeared after completing some (VR7 quest at VR6) quests, after a /reloadui, but not others. Doing the Haven quests I got xp from the final piece that completed the marker, but not the sub quests before that. Also didn't get improvements in the skills I had slotted when handing them in. Neither /reloadui nor logout and login fixed this.

I guess I'll do something else til fixed. I'm ending up under level as it is. Wish I hadn't trusted the stuff I read here about it catching up later, as that only seems true on some quests, and so I've lost quite a lot of xp. No wonder I was close to VR7 with a few quests to hand in and some areas not done, but one area into the new zone I'm still VR6.

Edit: To clarify a little, hoping I have quest names correct, from today's play:
Take Me Home - Gave no vp or skill improvement
Lost Treasures - Gave no vp or skill improvement
A Little on the Side - Gave no vp or skill improvement
Unsafe Haven - Gave vp and skill improvement correctly
(Eye of the Ancients - Bugged and uncompletable)

I relogged after the first two, and one recently learned skill on the skill bar I had active when I handed in the quests had zero skill learned. This changed only after completing Unsafe Haven.
