Enlightenment - Does it work? I have not received anything yet

Okay, so a few days ago, I got to VR1 and today I got VR2. When reaching VR1, I should receive enlightenment every 24 hours. But since the moment I got VR1, I have not received any enlightenment. I understand how it works, but I got nothing so far.

Does enlightenment actually work, or is it bugged for me?

    'E' works for me, and like you I'd have expected you to have had some, certainly if you hit VR1 "a few days ago".

    Hey there @DijkeMark,

    We have a post on how Enlightenment works with a lot of the details about the system. Let us know if this helps the situation, or if you still aren't noticing your enlightenment bonuses after 24 hours of reaching VR1.

    Since the day I reached VR1, I did not get the enlightenment bonus. Everyday I had to earn 400k exp to get my champion point.

    I did read a lot of the different posts and 'tutorials' on how the enlightenment should work, but I do not notice any increased gain towards my champion points unfortunately.

    Enlightenment doesn't seem to be working for me either. I have a VR2 character that I log into every day to get hireling mats from (but nothing else) and I've spent several weeks leveling a brand new character up to VR1.. which I hit yesterday. Every time I log into my old VR2 character it says I'm enlightened, but still shows 0/400,000 to gain a CP. I've no idea how enlightenment works with multiple VR characters, but my new VR1 character has gained 200,000/400,000 so far. She hasn't gained enlightenment at all in her own right, and if it's account based I don't seem to be using the several weeks worth I should have saved up while leveling her.
  • roney.jeremyub17_ESO
    Yeah.. out of curiosity I tried actually playing my old VR2 character. Gained 150k xp and it just says 150/400k. I log in and it says I'm enlightened, but I'm still not gaining them at a rate of 1 per 100k. System is borked.
  • charriss1rwb17_ESO
    I am having the issue. I am almost VR3 and have received no enlightenment yet. My leveling friend has almost double my CP but is only VR1. Has anyone had any luck with tickets to customer support? Or fixed it some how? Very frustrating....

    Enlightenment is working as intended. You can tell if you are enlighten or not by hovering with the mouse at the exp bar and check if the bar has a darker color on the back of the bar. It will still tell you that you have to receive 400,000 EXP to level up but it does indeed fill faster. They have just added a 4x exp rate on to the enlightenment exp when you are enlighten. There's nothing to worry about.

    Enlightenment stacks for up to 12 days and I'm pretty sure that it's character bound. The points however, is account shared. You have to use up all the enlightenment on your VR2 character by gaining EXP to benefit from it.

    Yes, although I knew it was working like this, it is good to see it actually working for someone.
    However, I do not get the message I have enlightenment as you have in your screenshot.

    I will quote a very helpful post here to help clarify your situation:

    Here is the function to use in the chat window to see your Enlightenment info. Below each function is my character's current value if you're asking.

    If you do not see what you expect in the UI or the response in chat window, do this once in an area where you should be getting XP to see if that fixes it:
    /reloadui

    See the entire Enlightenment Pool, you cannot see this in the UI "because it would be too confusing"
    /script d(GetEnlightenedPool())
    965749

    See how much XP is required in total to attain a Champion Point
    /script d(GetChampionXPInRank())
    400000

    See how much Enlightenment multiplies incoming XP if you have it
    /script d(GetEnlightenedMultiplier())
    3

    Does this character have Enlightenment available to use?
    /script d(IsEnlightenedAvailableForCharacter())
    true

    Does your account have a character that has Enlightenment available to use
    /script d(IsEnlightenedAvailableForAccount())
    true
    I have approximate knowledge of many things.

    It's obviously not working for some folk. Seems to be a small number of people. Like me and the few here. I know it's supposed to work. It's just not working for me.

    Okay, so I tried the "/script d(GetEnlightenedPool())" command a few times yesterday and today after I logged in. No matter what, it always says 0. I am VR4 already but still no enlightenment for me.
  • charriss1rwb17_ESO
    Yep same again. Sent screenshots to CS with the script running. Had '0' as well. Anyone had a response from CS saying they acknowledge the fault or have had them fix it?

    I got moved up the tree for support a few days ago, but since then nothing.
  • charriss1rwb17_ESO
    I had an email this morning saying it has been passed to a special team handling the issue. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.....

    Oh hey! You got moved up the ladder like me. I got that email 3 days ago now. Still nothing. Hopes are still up though.
  • charriss1rwb17_ESO
    Hopefully it doesnt take too long and we get reimbursed the champ points we have missed out on. I couldnt imagine it would take too long to investigate and fix?
  • Tamruan01b14_ESO

    I wouldn't think it would take long. Either the champ points or enough enlightenment to cover the missing champ points. I honestly don't care which. Or give me unlimited enlightenment like some others have :tongue:

    I am just glad if they manage to fix it.

    Do you have to remain logged out of your veteran character for 24 hours to receive the enlightenment?

    Tried being logged out for 72 hours to see if it triggered anything. Didn't work.

    No. You actually have to log IN to receive it. Staying offline for 3 days will only give you 1 day of enlightenment when you log back in.

    Anyone have any luck getting this bug fixed yet?
  • DijkeMark
    DijkeMark
    No, unfortunately not. Aslong as they don't put out an official patch for it, we don't get any enlightenment.

    Here i was hoping this latest patch included a sneaky fix... nope.
  • miklawceb17_ESO
    I have the same problem, no enlightenment for me at all. I wrote support and submitted a bug report. At this point i'm not sure if it's even on their radar, which sucks. For every cp i get, my friends get 4... it's rather frustrating.
