Champion Points or Champion Skills in Elder Scrolls Online can only be acquired once you reach level 50. These were added in Update 6 with the Champion System.
From the Dark Brotherhood update, Champion Ranks replace Veteran Ranks in player progression. And in the Dragon Bones DLC, the Champion Point cap has been raised by 30 points (10 in each red/blue/green constellation) for a total of 720 Champion Points. The Champion Point experience curve has been automatically adjusted with this new cap so earlier Champion Points require less experience and can be earned faster.
Spending Champion Points
Once you reach level 50 your progress is measured by the amount of Champion Points you have earned. Every time you are granted a Champion Point it will be for The Warrior, then The Thief and finally The Mage. It will rotate through all three of these before you will get another point in the same one. So in order to get 10 points to place in any of The Thief Constellations, you will have to gain 10 in The Warrior and 9 in The Mage.
Spending 10, 30, 75 and 120 points in the stars of a single Constellation will grant the player automatic Passive Skills that are unique to that Constellation. Below are all the Skills that can be acquired from these trees.
Champion Points and Passives
Each of the guardian constellations has a general theme. Points spent in The Warrior increase your Health and allow you to improve your defensive capabilities. When you spend points in The Thief, your Stamina will increase and you'll be able to choose utility bonuses, and points spent in The Mage increase Magicka and grant benefits to physical and magical offensive power. You may refund your points spent by paying 3000g.
The passives offered by the constellations are diverse and allow you to customize your characters to your liking, no matter what kind of build you have in mind. Each constellation is comprised of individual stars, each with their own special bonuses. You can spend a total of 100 points on each star in a constellation.
As you spend points on stars in a specific constellation, you'll unlock very powerful passives. These unlock at 10, 30, 75, and 120 points spent in a constellation. There are 36 of these strong passives total, and they offer the most impactful enhancements you'll find in the Champion System.
Full Lists of these passives can be found on the pages listed below:
