Stupid question about Champion Points

Last November (2022) I decided to scrap my toons and start fresh with a member of each race ... I only have 226 CP Points. I am slowly running them to reach level 50. When all will have reach that point I will move forward.

My question is: since CP Points are account wide can I play a character more than 10 minutes at a time in order to keep him/her at the same level as the others ? After all if I want them all to play the whole game I cannot have a single character too far ahead in levels as all my characters are automatically leveled at the same time.

During the afternoon of Loredas, 6 Sun’s Dawn 2e578 a big piece of Aetherius fell to Nirn. It was the first major piece of Aetherius to fall on Nirn in more than five hundred years. It scattered around the world as millions of shards. It was rapidly documented by Lady Cinnabar of Taneth in her pamphlet Aetherial Fragments that "... when three shards meet, they re-form into a silvery prism by unknown process and confer the power unlocked by the merger to a nearby being." The Order of the Black Worm, commonly known as the Worm Cult, reappeared in Tamriel shortly thereafter and some of its members are avidly searching said shards.
In the last week of First Seed 2e579, an arcane explosion occurred in the Imperial City — a night of storms, and trembling terrain. They named it the "Soulburst". That day Emperor Varen Aquilarios disappeared without a trace. His wife, Clivia Tharn, ascended to the Ruby Throne as Empress Regent under the guidance of the Necromancer Mannimarco. Ushering a time of increased instability within the Empire of Cyrodiil which finally grew into “The Three Banners War”.

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking but there's no concern about a character falling behind or getting further ahead with champion points because, as you said, they're account wide. You will always have the same number of CP on all your characters, no matter if you play them every day or haven't touched them in ages. It doesn't matter how long you play in each session.

    You do need to set up the points on each character individually, so if you earn CP while playing one character and then log into another you'll need to choose how to spend those points before they do anything, but that doesn't take long. Also you only really need to do it when you've gotten 10 -15 points in one constellation because that's how many it typically costs to activate or upgrade a star, you can spend them in smaller amounts but it usually won't do anything.

    I don’t understand the question. I think cp only levels once you’re level 50. On the character select screen your cp may differ between characters but it updates once you log into them. You can also use your accumulated cp before level 50.

After all if I want them all to play the whole game I cannot have a single character too far ahead in levels as all my characters are automatically leveled at the same time.

    Your question is a bit confusing but I´ll try to answer:

    1. You only get more CP when you are lvl 50 on that character and gain XP. If you play a character that´s below lvl 50 you get zero new champion points, all XP goes towards levelling towards lvl 50. Even if all your other characters are lvl 50.
    2. You only use CP that you actively spend points on and commit ('passive' CP that are always active, and 'active' CP where you must assign that star to the CP bar). Unless you spend points and commit your CP, you have no benefit from CP.

    So if you want to keep your characters at the same level, don´t assign CP. Your other characters will not automatically get better unless you actually get more champion points and assign them. Your other characters will not level up in terms of the 'regular' 1-50 levels just because you get XP on another character.

    Okay. Let's say I play my Imperial from level CP 226 (in Bangkorai) and complete the "main quest" then he will be well ahead of the others.

    Then I return to my Khajiit who is in Reaper's March as a level 49 and bring her to level 50 then she will have the same CP Points but will be so far behind in XP in the game (storywise) ...

    that is my worry ...

    All your characters on the account will always be the same CP level(per megaserver). The only thing that can be different between characters is their actual level(1-50). But even at levels 1-50, their CP levels will always be the same.

    You can set your CP even on characters below level 50, and you can spend as many CP points as you want. But you can only gain CP points on characters who have reached level 50. Gaining CP points will immediately benefit all your characters on the account, though for characters you are not playing they will be unassigned CP.

    XP isn't the same as Enlightenment. Your under level 50 characters gain regular experience and normal levels. Your level 50 characters have something like 4 million + Enlightenment (the CP version of experience) and all of your over 50 characters share the same pool of Enlightenment.

    In order to not share the CP version of experience, you'd have to have each character on a separate account.

    And now I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking either, so if that's not it, just ignore me.

    OP, you have worded your question in a strange way.
    I'll try to answer, but i do apologize if i got your question wrong.

    Part 1: CP - if at least one of your Characters is above level 50, then ALL of your characters regardless of theirs levels can use the CP pool, which is very nice to add Inspiration, extra offense, sustain and such for low level characters.

    Part 2: Characters below level 50. When you play them - they level up and this does not increase your CP, as experience points they gain are invested into levels, not the CP

    Part 3: hitting level 50. When your character hits level 50 they automatically accounted to have all your CP, because, again, CP pool is account-wide, as we figured out in part 1. Example: i have 1800 CP on account. when my new toon levels up from level 49 up to level 50 they are accounted as CP1800 character in the character select menu.

    TL/DR; version - CP is account-wide, levelling characters below level 50 does not affect CP pool, reaching level 50 automatically register the said characters as CP toon and these CP are identical for all your level 50 toons (though all the CP you had obtained is available for any of your characters since theirs level 1).

    Does this answer your question?

    If you ask about skillpoints - this is a different question. Skillpoints are unique to each character and the easiest way to get SP is to roam zones, collect skyshards, do public dungeons Group events, do storyline quests and so on.

    What do you mean by "behind in XP storywise?" All lvl 50 characters have the same amount of regular XP (the amount needed to take them to lvl 50).

    thank you all for your insights. My question was mostly about Experience, because even between CP Points you need to gain XPs.

    Yes. All level 50 characters no longer earn XP towards regular levels. They earn XP towards champion points. Champion points are account-wide and separate for all characters (if you have 54 CP that means every character has 54 CP, they do not 'take' them from each other if you spend them). So you can earn 1 000 000 XP with one lvl 50 character, and then 10 000 on another lvl 50 character, you will have earned 1 010 000 XP total, account-wide XP that gives you champion points. If this earns you 3 CP, all your characters can, separately, spend 3 CP each, if you so choose.

    Does this make it more clear?

    You are correct Zaria but let's say that in the game until they create CP 3.0 you have 3650 "levels" to go through to play the game.

    So once you reach CP 1 (or level 51) with one character all your characters have reached CP 1, that is a fact ... and I am not talking about applying the heavenly points to any character.

    But if you play that character too far ahead of your other characters then those other characters will have that much "less time" to play the game, meaning that they won't be able to "finish" the game at the same quest ...

    So in order to be able to stay about the same place in the game you would have to switch character just before earning a new CP point ?

    As my example above my character when he reached level 50 ended up with 225 CP Points, gaining unplayed 13 millions XP toward endgame.

    Character levels are unique to only that character with the experience they gain for those pre-levels, Exp to CP are halted on those characters until they reach level 50. However for CP the amount needed for the next CP is the same regardless which character you're playing post-level 50. So one character at 50 requires 20,000 Exp to the next CP then all level 50 characters require that same 20,000 exp to the next CP. You gain 7000 exp bringing it down to 13,000 Exp to the next CP then switch to another character, they will also need 13,000 Exp to the next CP. There is no bonus or edging more with which character post-level 50 you choose to play to gain CP.

    In the character selection screen it is misleading when you see one character at level 50 with 226 CP and the current character you just played is level 50 with 245 CP, once you log on a character that is level 50 with 226 CP listed will be level 50 with 245 CP in-game. The game does not update the character selection screen listing for everyone to be in sync with the same CP number, it only updates when you log into the game with that character.

    Ok, I just don´t understand what your problem is with the game system as it works now. Is this an OCD thing (not meant as an insult)? Once you hit lvl 50 all XP earned by that character is is in a sense account-wide but only counting towards CP, and all CP progression is account-wide. It is as simple as that. You don´t "lose" anything.

    Don't assign any champion points then? The amount you get is the same across the board, you don't have to spend them if you don't want to.

    I'm leaning on you're looking at the character selection screen and finding the numbers different is what I'm getting. Like if a character you played last was sitting at level 36 / 226 CP, the play a level 50 to 250 CP, when you next play the level 36 / 226 CP they will change to 250 CP as the game updates it upon logging in.

    ?

    Like I said, unless you actively spend the Champion Points on a character it is as if you never earned them on that character. Again, I do not understand what the problem is. The only thing you "miss out" on is being able to earn your first, second, etc, CP separately on each character. Which, honestly, isn´t really missing out.

    It seems like you have gotten something about the Champion system totally backwards. I just don´t know what.

    As others have said, all of your characters will have the same number of Champion Points as each other, whether or not you ever log in on all of them. In fact, they will all have those Champion Points even if they're still below Level 50, so you can start to "spend" your current CP on each sub-L50 character right now if you want, or you can wait until they reach L50 if you feel it would be more "natural" to make them wait. If you don't much feel like playing on certain characters, you don't need to bother logging in on them (for "CP purposes") unless you want to allocate any additional CP that you've earned since the last time you'd logged in on them.

    At this point all I can say is:

    So what?

    After lvl 50 XP earned is account-wide. Any lvl 50 character gets XP that gets put in that account-wide pool. What is your actual problem with this? It does not in any way, shape or form mean that you lose out on anything whatsoever.

    Okay I think you're being way to OCD on this, if you must keep them al the same then stop playing any character that hits level 50 and only play those below 50 until everyone is caught up. The only way to stop gaining any CP at all is by not playing any post-level 50 character.

    If you let it sit long enough, after 12 days you will also gain maximum Enlightenment (Double Exp towards CP). If you're wondering about Enlightenment Exp it only affects Champion Points, not your skills despite seeing double Exp gains on everything you do, your skills are still getting the normal exp.

    There is no XP cap in the game. CP isn't XP, CP is earned accountwide with an XP counter. Once you reach level 50 you earn the same amount of XP per quest/monster kill/etc regardless of CP10 or CP2000 or CP3600.
    Moreover, the requirements for leveling up skills on individual characters are the same no matter if you're level 10 or CP10 or CP2000. So the only effect of account wide CP is that your other characters all join together to advance the CP counter that unlocks more CP, they don't affect each other's questing or XP gain.

    I'm another struggling to understand the concern (sorry).

    I have a main character who has done all of the storylines in all of the zones, and is currently CP 1900 and something.

    I start another character - that character has access to 1900 CP, but still needs to level up their skills and so on as they progress through the game questing and so on, which they will do by gaining experience. When they get to level 50 any further experience they gain will be pooled into the CP 'pool'. My progression of stories on character 2 will still allow me to level skills etc. It wont level skills on character 1, just give them access to extra CP points to put in the CP trees and vice versa

    Even if I get to CP3600 I can still level characters and skills, you just wont see on a screen anywhere that the CP goes above 3600.

    Does that answer your question?

    You are correct Zaria but let's say that in the game until they create CP 3.0 you have 3650 "levels" to go through to play the game.

    So once you reach CP 1 (or level 51) with one character all your characters have reached CP 1, that is a fact ... and I am not talking about applying the heavenly points to any character.

    But if you play that character too far ahead of your other characters then those other characters will have that much "less time" to play the game, meaning that they won't be able to "finish" the game at the same quest ...

    So in order to be able to stay about the same place in the game you would have to switch character just before earning a new CP point ?

    As my example above my character when he reached level 50 ended up with 225 CP Points, gaining unplayed 13 millions XP toward endgame.

    what does this mean? what is "finishing the game"? what is the fixation on characters being in the "same place"?

    It is not a fixation. I just want to be able to play the whole game with all my characters, in the far future. BUT with Champion Points being account wise I doubt it will be feasible. I just wish there was an option in the game settings that would allow us to be able to return Champion Points to individual character.

    Are you worried that some quests or areas are level-locked (or CP/XP locked) and you won't be able to play them if your CP is too far beyond what you might have at that point if you were only playing 1 character and strictly following the original order of quests?

    If so you've got nothing to worry about because ESO doesn't work that way and never has. You could complete the entire game on one character, getting thousands of CP and then start a new one and that new character would still be able to go everywhere and complete every quest themselves. They will never be too high level / XP / CP for anything.

    Edit: Even once you reach 3650 CP you will still be able to keep playing all your characters and any quests they haven't already completed will remain available for them to complete whenever you want to do them. You cannot lose access to anything, on any character, as a result of levelling up or gaining CP.

    Okay I think you're being way to OCD on this.

    I guess you are right. I am a completionist and with the Champion Points in a single pool I am afraid I won't be able to play the whole game before reaching level "3650" which I know is very far in the future.
    Even if you reach max CP you stop earning CP, but you still get xp to level skills. xp continues to be earned regardless.

    To the OP, nothing much happens when your account reaches CP 3600, except that you stop gaining CP. You still gain xp if needed for active skills and skill lines. CP gains stop being significant at levels far below the cap.
