The Elder Scrolls Online was released in 2014, but every year new players become excited about the MMORPG. We at MeinMMO will tell you in this article what the max level is, what champion points are, and how you can level up quickly.
What is the max level? The maximum level in ESO is 50. Up to this level, you also earn skill points, which you can invest in stamina, magicka, or health. But the accumulation of experience points doesn’t stop there.
After reaching level 50, you earn so-called champion points. These are not bound to a character but apply account-wide.
What are champion points? With each level up beyond level 50, you earn one champion point. You can earn a maximum of 3,600 champion points on your account, of which you only need 160 to wear the maximum gear.
These champion points can be distributed in 3 so-called constellations:
- Skill grants general buffs such as faster gathering, assistance with stealing, or riding
- Power is about damage and healing
- Strength provides additional regeneration for stamina and magicka and generally more defense
With Update 29 in March 2021, the champion point system was significantly overhauled. This way, you can unlock a lot of passive abilities, but you must actively select some of them. From these particularly strong passive abilities, you can choose 4 per constellation.
In general, the champion points are evenly distributed across the 3 constellations, so you cannot invest all your accumulated points in power or strength.
Leveling Quickly in ESO with the Help of Grind Spots or World Events
How to quickly reach level 50? In ESO, you can level up through all activities and in all areas. Especially players who value story should pick the main story or an expansion to play from beginning to end.
By doing this, you usually reach level 50 on your own and earn experience and skill points along the way, which are needed to improve skills.
However, if you want to level up particularly quickly – either to quickly gain champion points or earn additional champion points – we have the following tips for you:
- There are various grind spots where you can easily defeat mobs. With ESO+ and XP scrolls, you can level up quickly. We have tested some grind spots for you.
- Every day you receive bonus XP for completing the first dungeon and winning the first PvP match. This way, you can earn a lot of experience points quickly, and during the waiting times, you can continue questing.
- A popular method is the dolmens in the Alik’r Desert. There, you are with many players and continuously complete world events that provide a lot of experience points.
- Gear with the “learning” trait passively gives you more experience points.
A useful tip is also to unlock the companions in the latest expansion Blackwood – if you own it – and use them to generally progress faster through the content. Your XP will not be shared with the companions.
For those who are quite unusual, but do not want to level up quickly, you can look to this player. He has completed many quests by sneaking and hiding, and reached max level without defeating a single enemy. How exactly that works, we reveal here:
