Enlightened CP gain

oldbobdude

I'm pretty new and didn't reach level 50 until after cp 2.0. When I login I get a message like "you are enlightened and receive CP faster".

What I'm wondering is at what point does that stop? A weird complaint I know, but I feel like I'm gaining CP too fast and not developing skills to go with them. I don't know how it worked before 2.0.

Enlightenment will always exist on your account. It applies once every 24 hours. But it will reach a maximum after 12 days if you don’t use it. Once you use it, it will continue to build again.

So just doing regular things (dailies, overland, dungeons) "uses" your enlightenment? Or is there some specific trigger?

Yes. Plus writs and especially Master Writs.

Anytime you gain XP. You gain 400k enlightenment every 24 hours from when you hit level 50. In will accumulate until you get to 4.8 mil, then that is the cap.

You will have plenty of time to hone in on your skills. There is 3600 cp in total.

You get an initial chunk of Enlightenment that earns you CPs at 4X your Experience Gained. I think the first chunk is 12 Million, or something like that. So, the first 12 million in Exp you earn will net you 48 Million points towards CPs (instead of just 12 Million)

Any experience you earn in the game goes towards CPs, whether you are enlightened or not.

Every 24 hours, based on the time you hit L50 on your first character to do so, you get 400K of Enlightenment. I think this accrues even if you are on the initial enlightenment boost of 12 Million.

The amount of Enlightenment boost accrues if you are off line, I think this caps at like 4.8 Million.

However, really, just play the game, or grind on mobs, or craft, or quest, or go dungeons, your CPs will build up as you go.

Note, with the new Transmute Stone Cap Increase, it is a good thing to do a Random Daily Dungeon on your characters, Normal Mode is enough here. You get a ton of EXP, which means 4 times a ton of CP Points, and you get 10 Transmute Stones to recreate Set Items.

Edit: above post made more sense, you just get a headstart with enlightenment after hitting 50 which boosts you to about CP 100 or so, such that you get points to spend and can get something meaningful instead of not having enough for a perk.

Also you can use the CP points on all characters on that account,once you hit CP level.,even if they are under level 50.Also,CP bonus is shared,so if you got 4 chars over level 50,they share the enlightenment CP,so it can dissipate fast,but they all share same level so no big deal really.

Thanks, that makes sense. Accrue faster at first then slow down after a hundred CP or so.

Thanks all for replying.
