How the hell are you meant to get EMP with things like this

JamieAubrey

3x more AP than what I have and I've been playing since the reset

This is why I give up not even after 12 hours, its impossible

And I know people will complain but I'm doing nothing but 1 skill mutigen spamming my way to the top

Not only does it matter how often you play, but how you play matters too. They are probably playing solo or in a small group, being at the right places at the right time, and repairing keeps while there's not much action happening. Getting the ap buff from delve bosses and generally just playing well.

Or spamming mutagen outside zergs.

Have you been playing 16+ hours per day since reset?

If not, forget it. You cannot compete with players who have unlimited playtime.

To get emperorship, you either need to be unemployed or retired.

It reset like 12 hours ago

I seems like better ap to me atm. Just district capture if you can wipe out 5 people at a time and go from one to another you can get huge xp just going district to district. I suck at pvp but I raked in over 100k XP in a few hours just leaping at 5 man group and spinning to win. If you're good at it I'm sure you can get a 4 man group together and just run thr whole city some times. Esp during the day when it's quieter and just full of TV farmers.

@DRXHarbinger AP not XP

(im on the same campaign and can see you on the leaderboard)

I see you've gained 9k ap in the last half an hour which honestly isn't that much. Mutagen spamming is nice to get up there in the top 10 but to push yourself further you need to be killing too.

Make breakfast for a couple Hobos and have them grind while you sleep ? Sleep with a stab resistant vest and a flight helmet :P

Go solo and you should earn 50-90K/h depending on your build and skill!

Brrrofski

You earned 129k ap after 12 hours?

That's nowhere near good enough honestly. That's 10k ap an hour. What have you been doing??

LiquidSchwartz

if the campaign is poppin go to the sewers solo and get some easy ap
If not snipe keep ticks and repair everything. When I got emp my first time I went through 1200 repair kits in like a few hours by the end i used around 3000 lol
Takes time, effort, preparation, and know-how.

so you got 120k ap in 12 hours, thats very slow.

When i actually bother to go for emp i usually get around 40k/hour.

While I believe this is generally true, I was crowned Emperor while working 40 hours a week. Granted, I had to stay up till 3am every night that week and was tired as *** every day.

So in 12 hours you get 129k ap damn you are bad...

Today without farming them i got 70k in two and a half hours...
A little trick ( aside from repair keeps , run where is a siege and stay for the tikets) run a very hig damage build, surf the zerg, and steal them the kills with an easy cheese combo (20-30k damage in a few seconds).

Doing this in solo you will get more than half the ap of one kill and the rest is divided between the zerg, if one player grants 1600 ap you will get 800 while the zerglings a little more than 30.

^This. If you're going for emperor, I'd try to keep at least around 25-30k/hr.

OrphanHelgen

mutagen spam isnt the best way to get ap.
You are not getting emp because you simply are not good enough for it.
L2P.

Haters gonna hate

Skinzz

129 in 12 hours? Lmao!!!! 12 hour session i would have minimum 480k. I dont think youre even trying to kill anyone in cyrodiil. Looks like youre just waiting around for ticks.

I've been Emperor 5 or 6 times now.

First you need to pick a campaign that has high Emperor turnover (if there is an existing emperor reigning and they are rarely unthroned it will be unlikely that you will be able to outpace their AP gain if they decide to stay emperor after a reset. Next, depending on the duration of that campaign you need to be prepared to not have a life for the first few days of the campaign. There will be others just as dedicated as you who will keep pace of you no matter how good you are and it turns into a battle of wills at that point between you and them. Even if you get the lead, they will keep trying to get the jump on you so you must put a large enough difference between you and number 2 that they stop trying. Conversely if you are number 2 you have to get the #1 guy to quit or at least pass him before the emperor flips to your side.

Now for some of the less obvious pointers.

You have to have a build that has a high chance to kill others.

You shouldn't group with people as the math doesn't work out for the #1 AP gainer (you) to split AP with another player who is not #1. You pretty much always get less AP in a group unless you're only able to fight groups of people where you are ineffective.

Have *every* quest completed to turn in at the start of the campaign (got my first emperor using this trick)

Your targets should prioritize people who do not die often, and then the weakest to the strongest.

Soul Assault is your friend (used to be power overload until they nerfed it). During downtime or while searching for targets to kill use cheap tricks to build ult (like grand healing spam on NPCs and groups of players)

Repair doors before walls, but only repair walls if there is no other fighting on the map to be had.

Try not to fight people spamming damage shields and pick targets who don't use them as much if you have the opportunity. Damage towards a players damage shield doesn't count towards the AP you gain when they die, but health does.

I find I'm able to keep pace of pretty much anyone with my Sorc 1vX build but I've seen Sorc AoE and DK 1vX perform similar.

pretty much and the time to do it.

120k in 12 hours? What do you expect?
And then only spamming Mutagen? And you actually want to compete that way? Get outta here

369 kills in 12 hours is nothing if you want emp. My Lv 18 NB sits in zergs and gets more than 50 per hour without even fighting seriously. Just being near a fight the game calculates it as a kill.

JamieAubrey

I guess I need to state that the 1 skill spam was a joke, of course I;m going my way to killing and healing people

just repair walls on a low pop campaign

Agreed.

At a certain threshold of time invested, it no longer matters how much AP it is humanly possible for you to grind per-hour "catching up." Unless the other person decides to quit.

@Ezareth has some great tips, I just know it will never be something I personally shoot for.

Correct answer right here. This should give you 30-40k AP per hour which will be higher than the zerg group is getting.
