Enlightened?
How does this new mechanic work exactly?
From what I can tell it is basically a xp boost for the Champion points bar, and that it can be "used up" as you cash in your champion points. So my question is, would it make sense to not cash in any points so that they continue to accumulate at the max pace? Or maybe just spend them in chunks depending on how long it takes to get your enlightenment back up?
speaking of which... im curious to know how long it does takes to get enlightened up to max, and similarly, how much you hurt your enlightenment when you spend a champ point(s).
I kinda rambled there, but does anyone have any ideas or knowledge on this? I appreciate it.

✭I spent all my champion points and then got an enlightenment bonus while I started doing the skill respec. I think (but don't know) that the enlightenment builds up when you are not gaining champion points xp and then degrades while you are.PUG Life - the true test of your skill

✭I thought the patch notes covered it well
So while your not getting exp, the bonus starts to build up, when you earn exp, it gets used up to give bonus champion point exp.
A new mechanic, Enlightenment, has also been introduced to the game.
Enlightenment slowly accumulates on your account at a fixed rate, regardless of the character you are playing, as long as your account has at least one Veteran Rank character.
Anything that normally awards experience will also give you bonus experience as long as you have not used up your Enlightenment.
This only applies towards Champion Point progression.
This bonus experience does not apply towards increasing your level, Veteran Rank, or improving any weapon skills.
As experience is earned and bonus Champion experience is applied, your Enlightenment will get used up. Once there is no more Enlightenment left, experience earned will count towards Champion point progression at the normal rate.Edited by Natjur on January 30, 2015 12:43AM0 -
So, I was wondering why I haven't had hardly any enlightenment since I started testing (I had a small amount on day 1 but it went away quickly). I logged out earlier (~1-2 hours) and came back and am now enlightened. I concluded that enlightenment accrues when I'm offline?

This description is not very descriptive.

Is this any exp? Only exp earned towards cp? Only when I'm offline?0 -

I think your first paragraph is hitting the nail on the head - it builds up when you are not earning xp towards champion points for a while. It gives you a boost to XP for a while once you start earning it, then wears off after a bit. Then if you log out or are idle for a while, once you start to play again you will get the enlightenment bonus again for a bit.
I haven't managed to either find or work out how long it works for or any other detail, but I think that is the basic mechanic of it.
