Enlightenment BS

Me and my friend started playing ESO both around last week. He hit 50 a couple days ago I just hit 50. Thing is when he hit 50 he had over 4 mil of enlightenment and skyrocketed to CP and I only got like 400k of enlightenment which got me to cp 20 and stopped. What kind of BS is this?

    Not BS, u get 400k enlightenment every day, it stacks up to 4,8mil (12 days). If he waited u to get 50 he probably got a lot of stacked xp, and now he leveled faster.

    Enlightenment is only awarded once per 24 hours and can be stockpiled up to 12 days worth. He will have had more opportunity to gain enlightenment while he was 50 and you were not.

    Also, could he have had a character at level 50 already that has been earning him enlightenment?

    The first time you hit level 50, you are awarded 4.8 million enlightenment which will carry you to about cp 100.

    In addition, every single day you are awarded 400k enlightenment, although never going over the 4.8 million cap.

    Either this isn't your first character at cp levels, or you have more enlightenment than you think.

    That's what I was wondering. CP and enlightenment are shared across characters, account-wide. If he previously had a character above level 50, even if it was three years ago... that enlightment would have still been there.

    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    The green,blue, red just means what point in champion u are getting next. The enlightenment has a text and says the exp when u hover on the bar.

    Yeah that is odd to not get the same enlightened as he did at your first 50

    How long did he have his account before he hit lvl 50 and how long did you have yours till you hit lvl 50?

    All my accounts have gotten the 4.8m once they hit 50 but all of them took longer than 12 days to hit level 50, so I have always just assumed you build enlightenment even before you cross the 50 threshold and are able to use it. So someone leveling to 50 on their first day would only have 400k enlightenment, where as someone who took their time would be dependent on how many days it took(up to 12). I have always wanted to test this, but don't really want to waste the time grinding to 50 in a day on a new account.

    Yes, my brother just made a new account and the second he got to level 50 he did a random normal during new year event and got to cp 35 instantly. He didn't run out of enlightenment until he hit cp 100 about 3 days later.

    Cp is rather simple to obtain. By the time you find a solution in the thread and support gets back to you, you could be over cp100.
