Seperate CP advancement paths

Ommamar

So at the moment I have two different VR characters that I can use to gain champion points. The thing is that they don't have equal advancement showing on the experience bar. I usually play them until enlightenment runs out then switch to an alt, or craft, or pvp. Here is the thing on the advancement bar of my highest VR it says that I am 83% of the way to the next point. On my lower level VR character it says I am 8% of the way to the next point. If I happen to swap between them the experience I gained doesn't correlate on the two advancement bars. As an example the higher one is a healer with some tanking ability so if I log on to run a pledge earning 24% experience advancement when I log back on to the lower level it will show 5-7% advancement gained. So they are both tied to the account pool but some how by swapping between them I lose advancement. I generally just try to stay on one until enlightenment runs out but one is a heavy DPS the other a Healer/Tank hybrid so sometimes guild mates will want me to fit one role or the other.

Enlightenment is account wide while progression for a CP is not.

OK, it might help to understand what is account-wide, and what is on a per-character basis.

Account-wide:

• Enlightenment
• Champion Points earned

Per-character:

• Progression towards earning a Champion Point
• Champion Points spent

So basically each VR character has his own progression bar for earning a CP, which is totally unrelated to, and unaffected by, the progression of each other VR character.

Thanks for Clarifying. So how is it that when I swap characters to say do a pledge which earns me 24% advancement towards next CP then log back into my lower level VR, I seem to have gained 7% advancement?

Addons? This shouldn't be happening. Progress towards a champion point is per character. No interaction between characters happening until you actually earn a point.

So you think it is a false read? I do have one that shows expereince advancement I am just not sure what one it is, maybe FTC? Now I will have to go through them.

Here is how it works.

You have two characters, each earns CP at their own rate. For example if C1 (character 1) had 95% towards a Mage point, and C2 had 20%, then playing on C1 and earning that 5% to take you to the next CP will not increase C2 to 25%. Instead, when you log on to C2 next they will 20% towards the Warrior point, no longer the Mage.

So your advancement towards CP is not being lost, it is just tracked on each character. And each character's progression is towards the current CP point you will earn, so either mage, thief or warrior.

In an extreme example, if someone had 8 VR characters, they could play each to 399,999 towards their next CP on every one, and then log in to each, kill a mob, and earn 8 CPs within the span of a few minutes.
