dem0n1k · February 2022

I haven't gotten it yet

Highest AR character is currently 37.

The other day I saw a Grand Overlord in under50 campaign !!! like... how!?

gariondavey · February 2022

Main just hit rank 40. Halfway there on an AP scale. Been playing bgs and cyro for 4.5 years.
I do spend a decent amount of time on my 5 alts though, in PvP.

And this was someone completely different but I kept my eye on. Bearing in mind this value doesn't take into account Torte boost, and still 7days left of the month.

I have to admit this is impressive but some people are using unfair practices asking to their friends in other faction to generate deftics..

LOL, I need 3 campaigns for every char in PVP. Zenimax, please change a big NOTHING, let them learn to play PVP, because just standing in the keeps and having chat is not the way to earn AP. And only login in a campaign will not help. I will never understand why always some player know how to play and the rest just standing around and think, all points are coming from alone. ZOS ranked and nerved me down and I do earn even more AP then you all. Think about ...

I've only ever seen him on a bomber, and he is emp more often than not. Also 3600 CP, you've probably seen him.

I started as a templar and played mostly pvp for years reaching colonial. second character is my nightblade who until now is a 3 star. Took many many years but recently started taking ap gains seriously with the event and war torte.

Doing nothing but repairs took me 3 months. I used a full +healing gear, cp, mundus, etc and averaged 150ap per kit... that went up to around 270 during low pop.

Well hello fellow Wall Goblin o/

TechMaybeHic · February 2022

Took me 7 years with lots of breaks, sometimes only playing a couple days a week, and playing other characters. A lot of double AP events were skipped

RedTalon · February 2022

2 years

Didn't really keep track of it, but about 2 years. did it just to cause someone said I would never get it by doing objective bgs, so did it just doing that on a char I made for just getting the title.

Katheriah · February 2022

I've actually been grinding the last levels for my 2 sorcs and I can not recommend this to anyone. I swore to never take those 2 into Cyro again after they got their shiny 5 stars.

Now I just play what I want, much more fun.

jecks33 · February 2022

4 months, I grinded a lot

plus delve buff and colovian torte 100% up

Dark_Lord_Kuro · February 2022

I haven't gotten it yet

Im currently at 46
If everything goes according to plan, i'll get it durring the next mayhem as i only pvp durring those but i do it a lot
The title require rank 49. The rank 50 will be attained in 2 mayhem
So the very first mayhem to the next one

ArchMikem · February 2022

There are those that somehow earn several million AP every Camp. Then there's the rest of us. A productive session for me is like, 300k.

The Uninvited · February 2022

5 years

About 5 years, but I play about 10 different PVP characters.

WaywardArgonian · February 2022

1 year

It took me about 10 months from starting to play my Nightblade main (who had Sergeant rank from some U50 Battlegrounds and Cyro) to rank 50. I took plenty of breaks during those 10 months, though, so I think overall it took me 5-6 months of pvp. With 2 Mayhem events, Colovian War Torte and a few occasions of double AP from Cyro testing, the grind wasn't as bad as I had imagined.

Elrond87 · February 2022

I haven't gotten it yet

im rank 39 but i got like 4 other characters that are rank 30 if i stayed on 1 character i would of had it years ago

Odovacar · February 2022

3 years

With on again off again heavy commitments between PvE & PvP just a little over 3 years. With the game getting older it's crazy how many 5's we see now...also pretty cool too!

RDMyers65b14_ESO · February 2022

I haven't gotten it yet

I haven't achieved Grand Warlord because I am an altaholic.

Feaky · February 2022

2 years

2 years of playing almost every day in GH, but I run solo mostly so I'm not the most efficient AP farmer.

Kaelthorn_Nightbloom · February 2022

1 year

13 months of Battlegrounds. No grinding at all. Just normal play.

peacenote · March 2022

Been here since the beginning. Likely it's something I will not obtain. And I'm OK with that.

From what I can tell you need 64+ million AP.

Question - how long did it take you to achieve this rank?

It has taken just over one year to reach Grand Overlord Grade 2.

Started at level 10 in Icereach and currently level 49, playing most days.

64,680,000 AP to reach Grade 2, lots of patience and millions of gold - I do not want to work out how much gold I've spent!

I'm not the first Grand Overlord at level 49, but after I saw it could be done, I started it out last year as a one off personal challenge. I'm certainly not going to repeat this - so boring and expensive. There is a lot of juggling to match AP and XP gains so your level goes up the same as your rank. If you want to repeat this let me know.

LonePirate · March 2022

People need to keep in mind that AP rewards for quests, keep/resource captures and defenses and player kills were half of their present values for the first 3+ years of the game. An empty keep capture was only worth 3000 AP. The 20% delve boss buff did not exist. There were no Mayhem double AP events. The AP buffing tortes didn’t exist, either. There was an update where all of these AP gains were doubled somewhere around 2017-2018 (I think); but for those who were PC players from day 1, achieving GO rank was a very slow process, far slower than it is today.

SippingPotions · March 2022

I haven't gotten it yet

I haven’t gotten it yet but with current AP gains probably just a few months. I got my sorc to AR 40 before taking a break for a few years and just came back in January of this year. I’m currently at AR 36 on a stamblade that didn’t have vigor when I returned so I’m hoping to get my 5 stars by summer at least. Then I just need the siege damage achieve and I’ll have all the PvP achievements in the game lol

Jaimeh · March 2022

I haven't gotten it yet, my highest ranking toon is at 41, and the more I play with multiple characters the slower it will be but I'll get there someday and get the preciousss elder scroll furnishing!

Quite agree - it's a lot easier now. With Mayhem/Tortes/Delve bonuses my AP gains were very good.

Stuff like this gets ruined with account titles.

It was uphill, barefoot, in the snow in 2016 when I started PvPing casually. I finally got mine in a little over 3 years. (I am not counting the six months I had no PC so I couldn't log in.) I did it on a healing magplar, small group healing mostly. It is much quicker on my newish support magro. I think I hit tribune during the event but I rarely pay attention now I have the dyes

Our tiny PvP guild has a bunch of GO's. Our founder who started playing ESO when I did in early 2016, has 4 GO's. Several other guildies have 2 or 3. I'm the fat kid at the back when it comes to levelling.....and PvPing for that matter

But it's such fun when it even halfway works.
