Maintenance for the week of April 13:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 13

1 Hour of PvE Grinding = 4 Champion Points, 4 hours of Cyrodiil = 1/8th a point

    This whole Champion System debacle is just a sad, sad situation when it comes to PvP.

    Grinders rule Cyrodiil, not soldiers.

    Its why they designed the enlightenment system, it seems like they don't want players to really be able to push leveling it. You get 1 free point a day, couple extra if you really grind hard... but don't worry... those who grind hard will get burnt out and quit long before they hit 3600

    What I don't understand is how I got so much Enlightenment. I got almost 3 enlightenment worth of exp in a single night.

    The odd thing is the partner I was grinding with got 1 point to my 4. I don't know if this was intended or a bug but I'm not feeling good about the stability of this system right now.

    If you don't play the game for 3 days, enlightenment stacks, up to 12 days.

    This was on the launch day or thereabouts. (Old thread someone ressurected).

    Originally a few people started (including myself) with several days of enlightenment saved up.

    I know of one place (everytime I go there, I see very familiar PvP faces out the front :p ) that gains you 8K XP without enlightenment, that's just in the first room of trash mobs let alone the rest of the bads there, which is what you do, there's the usual bosses and trash mobs etc.

    However, just on that first room we worked out that if you are in a group of 2 you can drop group, leave, group back up and go in, then rinse repeat every 3 minutes on average, and that wasn't taking a speed run approach to it, we could cut that down further with some tweaks. Probably going to give it a go tonight if my grinding buddy is on.

    With enlightenment it's 32K for the first room filled with trash mobs, with rings of mara, it's 35K XP. We know we can do that easily in 3 minutes per cycle, so that's a dead easy 700K per hour just by doing the front room over and over again at that particular location. I'm sure we could push that much, much higher but we are at the mercy of a loading screen, so further testing is needed.

    Boring, hell yes. But it might end up being the best, most consistent grind spot for us.

    .

    Wouldn't you rather get those points doing something fun. I actually think ZoS should look at a steep diminishing return for repeating any content in quick succession or just impose an outright cap on CP/time. IMHO grinding is a terrible way to spend time and if thats what it takes to keep up, I'd rather just leave the game. I'm not blaming you for trying to find this method, but I am saying it shouldn't be there for you to find.
