DC Cyrodil Grind spots

With the higher exp enemies what would be a good place to grind for a DC player? I'm tired of quests right now and just want to push a few levels without running everywhere to do it.I was going to try some spots in crag lorn but the spell scar gave me 163 exp a kill while vr 1-5 zones were giving me 400-600 exp a kill so it wasn't worth it.
If all are brethren
How could my hands not tremble
As breath fled my prey?

What blinds my vision?
My hands are tools; it must be
The haze of blossoms

    Try Kings Crest. Should give you plenty of XP opportunities.

    Try Bruma, good daedra respawns, and one of the daily quest hubs can be done without leaving town. Easy to get to provided DC has control of Dragon Claw keep. So be prepared to ride back to defend on short notice, and watch out for EP gankers.

    South somewhere of Chorral should be a bandit camp. They figure into one of the quests from the hub just to the east at the Priory. Chorral is just south of Rayles, it would help if you would keep an eye on your map for any activity there while you grind.

    Smaller scale, there is an Imperial fort just behind Glade mine. Not really enough to support more than two bored scouts watching the keep.

    There is also a line of wolves north of Ash that are good for filling soul gems.

    Ok great I'll try those places. Hopefully I get more exp from killing vr 12s then I get from killing vr 1s. when i saw my exp drop when killing vr 11s I was very surprised.

    Pretty funny. Hint: they increased XP from player kills. You grind mobs, PVPers farm you.

    Bruma is kinda famous already. both DC and EP says "be careful out there for DC/EP ganker, kids!".

    The little damaged town just south off Arius is famous for EP grinding spots, I got ganked there a LOT back in the days. You can have a couple gank squads both DC and AD there.

    Same thing with DC/AD. The closest PvE town to their base keeps usually have a lot of low VRs grinding.

    When you enter Cyro, it's a given that PvE spots are gank spots. You just gotta sneak a lot more often everywhere you go...

    That's because Cyrodiil is a whole different animal than Craglorn. Grind at your own risk.

    i suggest hiring a pvp centered bodyguard, cause all the grind spots have just become the new 'murder time fun time' area

    I think cyrodil is big enough to accomodate enough people if they look hard enough Those suggested areas helped out a lot. 1400 exp a kill outside or 700 inside is much better than the 400 I was getting.

    Now that I've grinded a bit i think something is off. My FTC exp notification is showing 1400 exp a kill but when i look at my actual exp it's only going up by a little over 400. That's basically what I'm getting at vr 1-5 zones with much less trouble. Is the exp really boosted?

    Try the MXPV (my XP view) add-on. It displays correct XP while enlightened, which would be the lower number, along with XP/hour.

    While enlightened you are earning XP at the same rate, you just need less of it to get a champion point (100K instead of 400k).
