Sudden Drop in XP

Rainwhisper · August 2016

I am an ESO Plus subscriber, so normally when I log in I see the "Champion Points Gaines at an Accelerated Rate" message. I'm so used to seeing it that I don't notice it.

Yesterday I had an unusually long run of hitting strongboxes, each of which net me 4k xp (I am champ level 203). Eventually - after a couple hundred (?) of them - each strongbox started netting me only 1k xp. I also noticed that the quest reward xp was much lower than I was used to seeing for large quests.

I logged in this afternoon and popped a strongbox. 1k xp.

While I was crafting, I suddenly saw the "Champion Points Gaines at an Accelerated Rate" message appear. I immediately hit another strongbox. Sure enough: 4k xp.

So is there a cap on how much accelerated xp you can gain in a particular day? When does it reset?

You get 100k worth of enlightenment every day, the first 100k XP you earn in a day is worth 400k. After you earn that first 100k enlightenment turns off and you don't get the 4x multiplier anymore. You can stack up to 12 days worth of enlightenment.

For me on PC/NA it resets at 3am EDT.

The 4x modifier in champion point XP gain is due to your daily enlightenment bonus. As a lvl 50, you get a total of 400,000 enlightenment daily. this means that the 1st 100,000 xp that you gain every day is earned at a 4x rate for Cp advancement. you can bank enlightenment, not sure how much though. In addition this is shared amongst all your lvl 50 alts. You do not get 400k enlightenment for each lvl 50 alt.

You can see how much enlightenment you have left in Character and then scroll down to Description.

Just to add on to the above post, it's not connected to being a subscriber at all. Enlightenment is part of the Cp system for everyone. You don't get a message about your extra 10% XP from being a subscriber, it just shows as a buff on your character sheet.

Side bonus!

When you lag out in Cyrodiil trying to turn in a kill 20, the next day you get free enlightenment! Pop and XP scroll and you can get 107k of XP in about 10 seconds.
