I'm CP 127 and have XP crown scrolls yet I'm making under 1.5k do per kill in catacombs on vet. Why is this? Before 127 I was making 4 CP per run

    Not really, at your level they should still be coming pretty quickly. Just pop an XP potion and get your @$$ back in there. :tongue: Maybe grab a friend if you haven't.

    I've heard that it pops at the same time it was when you originally hit Level 50. Granted, I hit 50 at about 11 pm CST, so it could be either one. XD

    But yes, you receive an allotment of enlightenment at the same time each day, up until a certain max (1,600,000 or so, I want to say?), at which point you don't earn anymore until you start using it.

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "If circumstances try to drive me there, maybe. Right now, it just sounds like a lot of sand in my boots."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "The simple thought of it dries my scales. I ventured into Elsweyr long ago, but I may be getting too old to make the journey again."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "This one looks forward to seeing her home sands again. Perhaps she will make her home village many fish sticks!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "I could do much with a good dragon hide."
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "I see little need to muck about some ancient tomb. Too much work to do elsewhere. No, that was not an intentional pun."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton thief: "Stealing from the Ban Daar is always a fun challenge. Sometimes, they steal their stuff back!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "While I try to stay at Swum-Many-Waters' side, the whispers of an undead threat worry me."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "Perhaps. The lady Mephala spins many webs, and I can see there being benefit in sending me into the path of an undead invasion."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hear there will be dragons. I would be a disappointment to my Nord heritage if I did not try to slay them."
    Madam Argentia, dunmer aristocrat: "I have little desire to waltz across the desert for weeks at a time. It's terrible for the complexion."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'm kinda busy up in Wrothgar, sorry!"
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "The Khajiit usually throw some nice contracts my way. I'm sure Jimila will have something that will take me there."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one is happy to check back on her homeland after grand adventures drew her away! Let the kittens call her -dra instead of -daro now!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "My lady Meridia does detest the undead. I may need to sneak out on my duties on Artaeum to address it."

    400,000 per day for 12 days, so 4.8m XP is what it caps at.

    Yes, it pops every 24 hours based on when you first hit 50 or (for us geezers) when you first logged onto a Vet character after CP was released.

    No it's pretty easy to get CP up with training gear, exp pots, and a grinding buddy ( anymore than one other buddy and you lose exp )

    Why bother going to skyreach and using an xp scroll if you're only going to do it until you run out of enlightenment? You pretty much use up your daily enlightenment just from doing one random normal dungeon.

    If you actually want to grind xp you need to be doing it more than just when you have enlightenment!

    Why in the world would you do this? In 12 days of grinding (couple of hours each day) you could get a hundred CPs without being enlightened, and this is if you don't try hard. Enlightenment is not the end all be all of gaining CPs. Doing it your way will take much longer to get to CP160 than just playing the game.

    It can matter if your just questing as those give much more champ experience than you think, but mob grinding, just do it. I got to CP709 without ever worrying about enlightenment.
    I've heard that it pops at the same time it was when you originally hit Level 50. Granted, I hit 50 at about 11 pm CST, so it could be either one. XD

    I don't remember the exact time my first character first hit Vet Ranks, but I had 4 Vets when the Champ System launched. On my character it happens the same time each night, 6:55PM local time. Does not matter how many days I am not playing, or how often I play. I have carried over enlightenment to the next day, but if I use it up, it starts every night at 6:55 for me.

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

    It starts at 8:07 p.m. PST for me every day. Just early enough to use it up while my wife watches tv until 9.

    My enlightenment pops at 5:09PM MST.

    It's on whenever you first hit CP rank or whenever you logged in the first time on a CP toon, after enlightenment was added, it seems

    I have played for a couple of hours every day for the past couple of weeks - obviously with some portion enlightened - and I am lucky to get two CP per day, so no where near 100 by not trying hard in 12 days.

    Then again, I haven't bothered to go grind zombies or skeletons in Skyreach or whatever - I've actually played the game with a mix of dailies, quests, and whatnot.

    If I wanted to grind - I'd be playing some Korean MMO.

    Also my enlightenment seems to pop around 8 PM MST, give or take a few minutes.
