There is your problem. That is NOT THE POOL AT ALL.
That is your current character's Champion XP Bar. That is PER CHARACTER as I said in my first post.
You are confused.
He's actually correct about that, but he's misstating his issue.
The portion of the bar with the arrow does indicate that the character is gaining Champion XP at an enlightened rate. If they weren't, the bar wouldn't have that light coloring.
But as far as I know, there is no way for that bar to only partially be colored in like that. Either the rest of the CP is going to be earned with enlightened XP, or none of it is.----

✭I don't know any other way of saying this:
That screenshot shows something called the "Champion XP Bar". It shows your CHARACTER'S INDIVIDUAL PROGRESS towards earning another Champion Point. The bar is a 400,000 XP bar (like your main XP bar is a 1,000,000 XP bar). The highlighted portion of the bar in the screenshot is merely showing the CURRENT XP which THAT CHARACTER has earned towards that 400,000 end point.
Again, the default UI of ESO does NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM show you your Enlightenment Pool. You have to use an AddOn for that.0 -

I'm aware that it doesn't show the actual amount of XP in the total enlightenment pool in numerical form.
BUT the image posted is technically showing, visually, that the character is earning Champion XP at an enlightened rate. The light coloring of the remainder of the bar indicates that.
Just to make sure that you don't jump down my throat again: I agree with you. The OP is horribly confused about how enlightenment works and is displayed. But the actual image he linked does show enlightenment.----

OK, I see. To the OP, the pic shows "the enlightened STATE", but not the "enlightened POOL amount". For that, you need an addOn.0 -

Blimey! The darker shade of colour represents the pool, I always check it when I am enlightened, fter it reches the end of the dark orange the enlightment ends... its the POOL!!!!!0

✭✭✭✭✭But I've been enlightened for 6 CP's straight, since friday. every time I hovered my mouse over the CP bar, it said enlightened and everytime I got exp, I got 4x more toward my CP gain. This is my first and only character, and friday I hit VR1.
This doesn't seem normal, and although most people would stay quiet about it and enjoy it, I'd rather make sure I don't misunderstand it.
Once you get about 4 CPs in one play session, you will see your Enlightenment go away. Until then, unless you use up the 4 CPs in a session, you will always carry over some Enlightenment from one log in to another. It was not until I used up 4CPs in one day that I got a limited amount of CPs on the next session.
Since I tend to get 2 or 3 CPs per session of play each day, I tend to remain "perma-enlightened".
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Last try...

For the last time... I am not confused at all... and I am not saying it gives you an amount but it gives you an indication of how much you have left before you get unenlightened... The problem I had is that when i switch between alts the dark bar shortened...

Valymer✭✭✭✭✭The shaded, unfilled (by exp) portion of the bar does indeed show you how much enlightenment you have remaining, but only as far as your next CP. You can't see beyond that without addons.
It is possible for the bar to be partially shaded with enlightenment, as shown in the last pic above.
But if your amount of shaded Enlightenment is changing when you change characters, that sounds like a bug.
The linear distance from the end of the EXP portion of the CP bar and the end of the shaded enlightenment portion of the bar should, in theory, be consistent among all alts if enlightenment is account-wide.0 -

Well it depends on how much of the bar is left to be filled. It will be different on different alts and if the amount of enlightenment is less than the xp needed to get a cp on one character is more or less than needed on another the amount of unenlightened xp will be different.0

Yes, but if enlightenment is account-wide then the numerical value of current enlightenment should not change.
Example:
Your main has 200k of exp and 100k of enlightenment (the shaded enlightenment extends 3/4 of the way to the end of bar).
Your VR alt has 100k of exp, which means that his shaded enlightenment should extend 1/2 of the way to the end of the bar. Because it is the same 100k that your main had.0 -

They should be the same if its account wide... If I stayed on my first alt i would have reached 1 cp before i got unenlightenend but when i switched the amount decreased by like 50% so if on 1st alt was liek 10% light blue and 90% darker blue (enlightment status) on 2nd character it became 60% light blue and like 10% enlightment (dark) and rest (30%) till CP point black

✭✭✭✭✭OP, what I have noticed is that, if you have less than 100K of enlightenment left, it will display differently on different toons depending on how much XP they've already earned towards a champion point.
For example, say I have 50K enlightenment left and I'm on Alnibis, who is 50% towards her next CP. The bar will show enlightenment all the way to the end (because there is enough enlightenment to grant her that point).
If I switch to Potion Ivy, who is only 25% of the way to her next CP, the bar will show enlightenment up to the 75% point (25% + 50K) and then it will be black to the end.
Is that what is happening to you? Because it sounded from what you described that the opposite was happening.The Moot Councillor0 -

We understand, and has been explained to you multiple times by multiple people.
It doesnt show your enlightenment pool, that is your champion pool, which people have also told you, multiple times...cmon man.1 -

Call it what you like... The thing is it should not shorten... if you have a full bar that will get you to the next CP point why shuld it get shorter when you switch on an alt????0 -

What happened to me was I had a bar with 10%xp and 90% enlightment status (If i stayed here i would have had enlightment till i reached cp point), I switched on another alt it had like 50%XP 20% Enlightment and 30% black. Both ar v14 and nothing happened between switches...0 -

Since its stored for a whole day up to 12 days and you can earn 1 cp per hour as enlightened. Its working normally. Also explained this earlier. See link provided in my other post.Edited by Leeric on April 6, 2015 3:09PM0 -

Those images would seem to suggest that Enlightenment is not account-wide.
Or, the enlightenment pool shaded indicator is not displaying its information correctly (a more likely scenario).0
