    Emperor is one achievement a lot of people worry about, and some people do not even want to start the game because of it, so this guide will help get the achievement, it is not too bad to get. To become Emperor in Cyrodil first you must be rank #1 for your alliance in alliance points, and then your alliance needs to capture all 6 inner keeps to crown you Emperor, enemy alliances will fight to protect an Emperor being crowned so at certain times it can be difficult or impossible to do if your alliance is outnumbered.

    Now before you go for the achievement I recommend playing the game and going for the other achievements and getting familiar with the game and making yourself a good build. Battlegrounds are a really good way to test out your PvP skill as well as you can see your stats for damage, heals, kills, assists etc. Once you are decent at the game and able to perform okay against other players you can attempt to go for it. People literally play 12+ hours a day and if you do not start right at the server reset it will be impossible to catch up to other players as there simply isn't enough time to catch them even if you play 24/7 and are amazing at the game.

    When going for Emperor the best tip I can give is to go for it during the PvP event Mid-Year Mayhem (now known as Whitestrake's Mayhem). It happens twice a year and during the event more PvP campaigns get added during the event. During normal times there is only a few campaigns and they are normally quite populated at all times so it is harder to go for it. During the event there is a 7 day campaign (normal ones are 30 days) so that means it resets every 7 days and the event is normally 2 weeks so you have 2 shots to go for it right at the reset. It normally resets at 10 AM Eastern but that could change, this is in the morning and a lot of ESO players are adults and are working so there isn't many playing at that time, especially on that campaign server.

    Try and get a few friends, guild members or anyone you can find that wants to exchange going for Emperor, it would work best if you can get groups going on 2 different alliances. As soon as the reset happens you need to start right away, it shouldn't be very populated at all and you should just be able to start taking over keeps right away. You can start going for the inner six keeps and as you are taking them over you will be getting alliance points, if everything goes smoothly you should have no resistance or very little and be able to quickly sweep through all six inner keeps and hopefully you will be rank #1 in alliance points and be crowned Emperor as soon as you get all the keeps.

    If you are decent at the game and have a lot of siege weapons saved up you can take over keeps with as little as 2 people but I would recommend trying to find more so it goes faster because you want to go as fast as possible before it gets more populated and having a bigger group will help you with any resistance you might go against. The reason I recommend 2 groups on different alliances is because once one person is crowned Emperor the other alliance can capture the keeps and crown their Emperor and then your group can do it again and crown the next person and so on and so forth. It gets more populated around 5 PM Eastern when people are off work so you really have about 7 hours before it gets harder to do, but if everything goes well you could quite a few people. The highest ranked person would just need to leave the Campaign once they are crowned so the next person in line could get after.

    If you want to do this fully legitimate then be prepared to play 12+ hours a day, even then like I mentioned you have to start at a campaign reset or else it's impossible to catch up. Bomber builds usually get the most alliance points on the populated servers so that would be most likely what you have to play to be able to be rank #1. If you are having trouble even during the event with it being too populated, the under level 50 campaign is also never much populated and you can get there after a reset easily with a few people, or also the European server has a lot less people and will be easier to get on that server, especially during the Midyear Mayhem event on one of the extra campaign servers. So overall it isn't much to worry about and can be boosted easily during certain times when you will encounter little or no resistance going for it and be able to be rank #1 easily if you start right away after a reset.
