Where is the best location to grind for cp? I know there's not a single godly location but just say the one you think is the best.

    Best way to earn CP= play the game. I´m cp675 at the moment and I´ve never ever grinded for CP.

    Agreed, 768CP and almost no grinding. The few times I tried grinding, got bored out of my skull.

    My cp goes up the fastest in the arenas and dungeons. Other than that discovering map locations is a healthy boost too

    A psijic plus random normals. Add a set in training trait.

    Burn through the first normal in 15 minutes, get 100k + psijic 50k plus the tens of thousands from training trait, plus enlightenment bonus. I've seen a screenshot of someone getting 1.1million xp for one 15 minute random normal.

    Burn through second random normal in 15 minutes, get 30k + psijic 15k, + enlightenment, + training trait.

    Heck, just doing 3 writs on my crafter and 3 on my main is enough to pull in around 400k xp because of enlightenment.

    If you want to gain champ points, the better strategy is a more consistent harvesting of the advantage of enlightenment over time than a sudden grind. But if you need to grind, psijic plus random normals in training gear is the way to go. Grab 3 others who want to clock xp as well and just do speed runs.

    After you grind your way up, there will be a point when you find that you want to kick yourself in the ass. After max CP you will continue to climb and climb just doing the quests that you had skipped earlier. Before you know it you will be 2 plus years ahead of the CP cap. Every earned exp will be pointless and all that time you spent grinding will have been wasted time.

    When someone tells the locations of the "best" farm it becomes a bad farm in days. (Old Orsinium was one of the best right after Wrothgar launch, then there would be 20 people grinding all day long) The best farm is in a location rarely used and not discussed.

    I usually get bored of grinding rather quickly. Which is why I only have 700cp since, and I've played since launch.

    The best advice for the question "where is the best place to farm X?" is to pay attention when doing different activities in different areas. If you find the activity/area rewarded well, keep it to yourself and do that. As soon as good spots are advertised on forums, reddit or youtube, those spots get overpopulated and cease to be worth it because you're competing for spawns.

    Craglorn (Catacombs, Spellscar) grinding can get you a few unenlightened CP an hour depending on your efficiency.

    Unfortunately, grinding in this game is very active- you don't just stand there and click your mouse over and over, you have to move around and use skills and whatnot. So it actually drains more energy, and it's hard to do it for long periods of time.

    Go to the dolmen in the middle of Auridon. Park your toon on the hill and rubber band heavy attack with inferno staff.

    I'm so ashamed of myself for telling you this, but there's probably 20 people already there now.
