    Daily dungeons, quests, exp grinding, Trials, exploring, enchanting, crafting, It's what you like and how you want to play.

    The über fastest way = make 2 more Characters to CP. And play a bit until all of your characters are in Enlightenment. That means you get a boost for EXP around 400K. And if you have 3 chars it's 3x400K. I actually do that the most. I have 3 chars with CP. And each day it counts, I had a boost around 2 Million. So if you are Enlightend and have ESO+ and use a Scroll. No matter what you do you will be leveling up blazing fast.

    Or you can build up your Enlightenment - at the end of 12 days, you just won't accrue any additional Enlightenment and it'll stay at the limit until you start gaining XP again. But that is boring. You just need to play the game. In any directions you will gain exp.

    Youre not missing that much, because or diminished returns. Unless, of course, you're already at 30+k dps.
    Grind spots are a very fast way to get cps, stuff like Skyreach (cooperate with someone, this way you get extra 10% exp and can quickly reset the instance by leaving it and changing dungeon difficulty from normal and vet and back - it doesnt change Skyreach difficulty, it just resets the mobs), Spellscar, etc.
    Random normal daily gives the same exp and rewards as random vet and is pretty easy. Master writs and undaunted pledges also give a decent amount of exp.

    Sitting around 34 - 35K DPS. I just can't believe how slow the CP leveling can be sometimes.

    Skyreach, you might even earn gold carrying low level players.
    Random dungeons give decent xp, more fun if you have an above level 50 alt, random normal+ dungeon quest give over 200K xp, decent chance of also getting some undaunted pledges on top and the alt get an skillpoints.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Completing Master Writs. That is expensive, but it's easily the fastest XP/CP gain (particularly if you pre-craft everything, take an ambrosia potion/scroll, and then take-quest-and-turn-in one writ after the other).

    Spellscar during quiet times with a Magblade. Pop your best potion in full training gear. Drop a destro ulti per pull, switch back to soul harvest bar to regain your ulti. Swallow Soul on the atros. Win.

    If Spellscar is busy then go to Skyreach. Ask a guildie to log in on a toon they're not using, group with them. Guildie logs off but you get to stay in a group so you can reset the instance.

    From UESP.net:

    Enlightenment

    While you are Enlightened, experience gain is multiplied by four, effectively reducing the required XP for one Champion Point to a quarter of its original value. Once per day, you receive 400,000 XP of Enlightenment; after your Enlightenment is used up, you will return to requiring the standard amount of XP to earn a Champion Point. Enlightenment accumulates in a pool with a cap of 4,800,000 XP after twelve days. Each single experience point earned through normal gameplay expends four of the stored points in the Enlightenment pool; killing an enemy usually worth 76 XP will give you 304 XP, while completing a standard Level 50 quest will reward you with 29940 XP instead of 7485 XP.

    Note that only Level 50 characters can be Enlightened, and the Enlightenment pool is shared across all Level 50 characters on your account.

    I haven't tried to gain CP specifically, but they still piled up from various content. I remember doing going for random veterans back when I was below the cap just to get the monster sets, since they weren't a guaranteed drop. Also vMA gives decent XP. I remember farming it and getting 3-4 CP a day, although I was well past the cap. For someone below that would be 7-8 CP. I consider grinding just CP pretty pointless, and I prefer also farming gear to be a good thing for efficiency. If you wanna grind somewhere, I suggest you pick a zone with good sets, that you can sell if you get them in good traits :)

    They should allow enlightened to be used before reaching level 50 too lol

    Make a character of each class and level them to 10, making sure your skill points go into skills that benefit the group. Easiest is to spec your toon for tanking (make sure you get the S&B taunt) or healing. Being dps is fine but queue times are longer.
    Once level 10 queue for random normals on that character and do the quests for every dungeon you enter. It will take about a month to lvl every character to 50 just doing this.
    Then random normal all characters will net you 6-12 cp a day depending on exp bonuses.
    Not THE fastest way, but it doesn’t take much effort if youre playing the game anyway. Takes me just over an hour to do all the dungeons on alts then I just play my main.

    It's not constant, but more often than not, you can gauge the level of XP by the amount of gold given for a quest turn-in. What I do is to run miscellaneous quests, til I have one that is a good chance of high XP, but then I don't complete the quest. I'll make a list of several of these, and then also while doing the alliance story quests, when you come to a major point in the story line, you'll often get high XP, again watching for that high gold earned. Once I have a number of quests ready to turn in, I'll then make myself a route based on wayshrine proximity or geography, then I'll use an XP buffer like the scrolls or the ambrosia pots. If you can coordinate this with the day's enlightenment, the XP gain is pretty hefty...another way is to craft gear or consumables for a batch of Master Writs that you have amassed up. Then do the same thing. Go to the vendor, use the buffer, then accept & turn in the writs one after another. These have some great XP, the thing is that this method is more dependent on hoarding the writs and inspiration for best results. However, in the 30 minutes of the 100% buff that I was using, I went through about 20 master writs with about 3mil inspiration, and I used up all the inspiration. That got me about 6 CP if I recall...

    I found Overland zones to be the fastest. Also, make sure you are using connoisseur the Provisioning passive as it increases your XP pot duration by 20 minutes when you have 3 points in it.

    When you reach 600+ a day of enlightenment will only give you about 40% of a level.
