@RazielSR - Right. Since you are V10, this would make sense. For me, I was VR1 when they said 30CP for any VR1+. So I didn't quest. I am doing Silver / Gold now because I don't grind and I am not at the 70CP cap. When that happens, I will stop so as not to "waste" the XP and play another toon till 1.6 goes live. You are on the right track. The new system rewards XP gained BUT only up to a cap. That cap is 70CP. So however you get there, but you are not gaining anything for XP gained after you reach the 70CP. Remember that the 70CP is the combined total from all characters that are eligible to gain CP prior to 1.6 going live. Glad to help, and thanks to everyone else who also helped to answer the question.

Scenario A: I get to Vr14 by doing the three alliance zones plus craglorn. Once the cs is out, I will have 70cp and wont be able to get xp from quests 1 to vr14 anymore.

Scenario B: I get to vr 14 in craglorn once I am Vr1 and not doing gold and silver. I will have 70cp plust the possibility to get all the xp for cp from gold and silver once the cs is out.

Again, no difference at all between those two scenarios. You clearly got the same amount of XP from doing things beside questing in the first scenario. I mean, at this point, it's just basic math.

Edit: I lied. There is a marked possibility you will get less XP in Scenario B, because you will not be receiving XP from any kills in Cadwell's Silver (and most of Cadwell's Gold) while the VR system is still in place.

But if you do that NOW you wont increase xp because there is no possibility to acquire more xp once you are vr14. Once the cs will be out you will be able to get more xp points.

Are you able NOW to get more xp once you are vr14?

Technically, yes. You can get 1,000,000 more XP after hitting VR14. Which still doesn't matter, because it doesn't make Cadwell's Silver or Gold worth more XP after 1.6 drops. You'll still be able to earn the same amount of XP after the patch, regardless of whether you've set aside some solo quest content.

And that's completely immaterial, because you still have about 5 million XP to go before this is even an issue.

Then its ok. I didnt know that and I wanted to carify. Anyway, imagine that i get now to vr14 by doing silver,gold and craglorn and i get those xtra 1.000.000 xp too by grinding for example.

Now imagine that I get to vr14 plus that extra 1.000.000 xp JUST by doing craglorn.

Cs comes out,with my first vr14 i wont be able to get the xp from silver and gold and I will have to just grind to reach my second example because I will have the gold and silver "bullet".

I mean,it is an advantage to have gold and silver untouched. It is like an extra that you can save once you have done EVERYTHING and do not start grinding. Well, i know it will be minimal advantage in the future,but it would be cool if you like to solo too.

Again, I'm not attacking your preference. But there is absolutely no difference in the amount of XP earned by the method you describe. If anything, you'll be lagging behind in XP, because you won't be gaining it for kills.

And grinding is not the only way to get XP after the main quest lines are done. There are multiple repeatable quests in Craglorn and Cyrodiil. Pledges, delves, etc. will continue to grant XP. XP gain in this game has never been an issue of questing vs. grinding. Those are just two ways out of many to get XP.

Case 1: VR 14 15.000.000 xp used, plus 70cp and 10.000.000 xp pending from gold-silver,that you will convert to cp. All this after 1.6 patch.

Case2: VR14 15.000.000 xp used, plus 70cp and no xp from vr quests to convert pending because you already did gold and silver after 1.6 patch.

How is that the same?

It's not like quests are magical XP that converts as soon as you say, "Gee, I'd like to do Cadwell's Silver today."

In case 2 (and case 1), I have infinity XP available to me through repeatable quests, delves, PvP, dungeons, etc. If I have quests, I have infinity+10 million XP, which is only a different number when you get in to higher mathematics.

XP is not a finite resource. You do not have more of it available simply because you decided to not do some solo quests before 1.6 lands.

Why the focus on cadwell quests ? I just finished silver and the xp I did with quests is pityfull. You gain way more by killing everything in your path. How the silver/gold would magically become a 300 cp pinata after 1.6 ?

RazielSR · January 2015

Well Im vr13 now. I will create another alts once im vr14 and I will do just the original faction quests. Later I will jump to level up vr (if they still existing) by other means. Anyway these alts will not be like my main for endgame,so I will use them more to roleplay,justice system,etc.
My main focus in ESO is the story,immersion, rpg aspect... because Im a hardcore TES fan,but I wanna have at least one vr14 because I have fun mmorpging too.

So, what you're saying here is 14,000,000 XP = 14,000,000 XP?

For everyone scared to death about CP's - ZoS will provide ways to earn them.

If they did not, every single Vet 14 would be screwed.

Play the game, same as you do right now. It will take care of itself.

Plus, how long are you willing to hold off on those quests? 1.6 isn't even on the PTS yet.

For those reasons,i wont do them. And because I wanna do that quests with another alts (being from that faction) so I wont get burned.

You gain CP only on a Lv50+ character.

As for questing now or later...
For questing right now you get 1 CP each 200,000 XP up to a total of 14,000,000 XP.
Now since I don't know how much XP is required per CP after the update I can't tell whether waiting or questing is the better option atm.

Let it take 300,000 XP to gain 1 CP after the update then you should quest right now.
Let it take 100,000 XP to gain 1 CP after the update then you should wait.

Is it lvl50+ char or lvl 50+ content that warrants CPs? Meaning, do you get CPs for doing quests with Vet1 in Coldharbor?
