Mysterious AP/VP in Cyrodiil

Have anyone ever get those mysterious AP/VP from Cyrodiil?
Sometimes when I was walking, even far away from my group, I get some AP / VP (sometimes a large amount up to 4k AP)!

I don't know where those come from... I did not stand near any big events like capturing fort or anything. Sometimes it just appear when I died and just reborn at the keep.

Anyone know what those AP/VP are rewarded for?

    If you are at a castle that has PVP near it you can get AP points as if you are defending even though the all out attack may not have started.

    So you get ap for defending too? That's nice!
    Anyway, it still didn't explain getting 3k-4k AP though :'( I will capture the screenshot next time this happens

    Yes, you get the MOST AP from defending. :) 3-4K sounds like a valid defense number.

    Wow thanks! Didn't know that before. I hope there are some guides on AP gaining though.

    One more tip. You get more AP solo than in a zerg. You have to split that number with 20 people if you are in a group of 20. If a guy is worth 800 points and I kill him solo I get all 800. If I am in a zerg of 20, I get 800 divided by 20... so 40. And if multiple people attack you split the number accordingly. Small groups are good though since it's nice to have back-up with you.

    Probably being in a keep range that was defended by your alliance and the enemy was defeated!

    I got 50k+ AP the other day, I still didn't figure out why. I gained a complete level (7 --> 8 ), more than 15 PvP rewards at once, and a lot of PvP money. I was roaming next to a contested scroll, I guess this have to do something with it ...

    (sorry for my broken english)
