Double XP Event Live?

Castagere

How do you tell if it's even working? It sure isn't working for me. Trying to level Mirri for two days and she only still is half way to 20. So sick and tired of how slow companions level. I probably won't even go for the Necrom two. Zos they are just freaking companions so why the grind in leveling them?

Because you only do it once per account. Double XP weekend, heartland gear, 150% scroll and training gear and you can hit 20 in a day.

I only level them during 100% xp events and they've all been done in a single Saturday.

To test, you can complete a quest where you know the xp you should gain. A daily crafting writ, for example, has a base xp of 748 when done on a level 50 character (cp irrelevant). That means you should get 748 more xp for one of those than without this event buff (assuming no enlightenment), since it adds 100% of the base value.

Example: I usually get 823 xp for a daily writ (10% ESO+). Today I got 1571 with no other bonuses other than ESO+ and this unmarked event buff. (Enlightenment had been used up.) That’s exactly the expected increase of 748.

The more bonuses you already have, the less of an impact you will feel, since it is 100% of the base value added to your other xp buffs. One of the earlier posters said they were using 7 pieces of training and a 150% scroll, which makes this 100% event buff worth only a 43-44% relative gain.
