The Champion System is a rewards system in The Elder Scrolls Online. It is unlocked once the player character achieves level 50. A champion point is awarded every 400,000 XP gained and can be used to unlock and improve passive skills from 3 constellations. Note that champion points can be spent differently for each character on any one account. However, only level 50 characters may earn points. If at any point you should want to change the way your points are distributed you can have all of them refunded for a flat rate of 3,000 gold.

As of Update 16, the maximum total Champion Points was raised from 660–690.[1] It was revamped with Update 29, and the total was raised to 3600.[2]

Enlightenment[]

Enlightenment is a mechanic put in place to help players earn champion points. Your TESO account will earn enlightenment every 24 hours, but only when you are not logged in. There is also a cap on the amount of enlightenment you can store on your account. As you earn experience points any enlightenment you have will provide a bonus to your progress towards your next champion point. Enlightenment will eventually run out but it can be restored when you're not logged on.

The Constellations[]

The champion system involves three constellations: The Mage, The Warrior, and The Thief. These constellations each represent aspects of power. Each champion point earned is earned in a rotating fashion. This means that the first one earned will be for The Warrior, the next one will be for The Thief, the next for The Mage, and so on in that order. After a certain number of points have been spent in each minor constellation a unique passive will be unlocked; however, these passives cannot be upgraded. Unique passives are unlocked every 10, 30, 75, and 120 points spent in a constellation. In addition, a max of 100 points can be put into each passive skill, or star, of each minor constellation.
