Fastest Champ XP these days?

Hi - so I quit playing right before the big 2.0 patch. I'm not familiar with the current meta game. I won't go into all the reasons I quit, but suffice it to say, I'm bored and plan to put some hours in this weekend. I mean it's free, why not?

My main is a V14 DK, but I have V14 Sorc, a V14 NB and a V1 Templar. If I want to try to pump up some champion points, what's my best option? Should I just work on Cadwell's silver and gold on my Templar, or is there some kind of xp grind that I should bring one of my other characters to?

    While Enlightened I can get 3 or 4 CPs in a session doing quests and killing the mobs associated. I can also get that many by grinding mobs. Just don't do it in Craglorn, Silver/Gold Zones or Cyrodiil (which is now VR12) is where you go to do that.

    I also get a surprising amount of CPs going back and doing quests I skipped in the leveling zones, so that's another way.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Most of my characters are EP - is there a particular Cyrodiil campaign that is more friendly for EP PVE? Before I left, there were several pretty much dead campaigns (buff servers for various factions).

    Btw, thanks for the reply!

    I have been working on that 1500 quests completed achievement a little bit and I noticed that you do get an impressive amount of exp from lowbie quests (at least it was impressive while enlightened), as well as world bosses or dolmen that you may have missed along the way.

    But for pure efficiency nothing beats aoe grinding mobs in Cadwell Gold or Cyrodiil. You will want to gouge your eyes out after a few hours though.

    Cyrodiil PvE dailies will net you about a million five if you do all 50 while enlightened.

    5 hubs, 10 repeatables per hub, about 25-30k each on Enlightened turn in (plus mob XP's, of course.)

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    The Greenshade zombie circle is the best spot if you can do it at your appropriate VR. There are tons of mobs and they respawn very quickly. Also, there's an NPC that will throw HoTs at you if you start getting low on health.

    every 15 mins?Enlighted,yeah,not enlighted,no way you will get a cp in 15 mins.Also Cracked Wood is so flooded now that is not worth trying.

    The best way now is to aoe grind in specific spots(spots not crowded,with many mobs and fast spawns and undead or daedra mobs) with a VR 1-12 and that you not outlevel the mobs by 3 or 4 ranks.Following this,i get 414xp/mob (without any xp boost like sub,pvp or group bonus) with a vr 14,in Cyrodiil you only get something close to 350/mob(again without xp bonuses)

    So the best way i have seen is with a VR alt.I was lucky that when champion sys came I had 2 vr 1 toons.So i took one and only grinded in a spot in Cad silver vr 5 untill I reached vr 8 or 9(dont remember) at that point I moved to Cad gold and grinded in a vr 9 zone until i reached vr 13 then I did the same with my other vr 1 toon.

    Sadly they will reach vr 14 and you will get to the 350/mob :(.Would be cool to get another vr 1 just to do the same but it all depends on how much time it will take to lvl from 1-50 as while leveling from 1-50 is time that you wont be gaining any champ xp at all.
