    I just dropped a single one on a node which would be impossible if it was doubled. So no it is not.

    That is not how double drops work. It is essentially two rolls of the dice, which is why you can get odd numbers of resources like 7 raw ancestor silk (1st independent roll was 3, 2nd independent roll was 4, not a single roll that then gets doubled). So you might have gotten 0 luminous ink on first roll and 1 luminous ink on second roll.

    I am not saying for sure that luminous ink is included in Explorer's Event, but just that 1 luminous ink does not preclude it from being included. You'd probably need to see 3 or 4 luminous ink to be positive. 2 could just be a normal pull + a plentiful harvester pull, not necessarily 1 each from normal pull + Explorer's Event pull. 3 would mean luminous ink from normal roll, luminous ink from Explorer's Event roll, and one of them triggering a plentiful harvester proc that also pulled an ink.

    XP and gold from writs should be doubled, but not Inpiration.

    Yeah I know that I just answered at face value that when they do drop they are not doubled . I farmed for an hour and dropped 30 ink so although a small sample size I would say they are much easier to farm due to the double chance drop.

    Is there double gear drops as well? Did a vet trial and the last boss dropped two items group-wide, so ppl were wondering if it's because of the event.

    vDSR has an unusual table for Taleria if I remember. That's normal for her.
