Luminous Ink

Luminous Ink is the crafting currency introduced in the Gold Road Chapter for the Scribing System. Luminous Ink is required to complete the Scribing process, sealing the magic within your chosen Grimoire and Scripts. Each Script added or changed on a Scribed Skill consumes one Luminous Ink.

Luminous Ink is not bound to your account so you are able to sell or send it to other players.

How to get Luminous Ink

  • 3 Luminous Ink is awarded after completing the Indrik, Gryphon, Dragon and Netch Luminary Wing questlines (12 total).
  • After completing the quest “The Wing of the Indrik“, Luminous Ink will rarely drop from defeated enemies.
  • After completing the quest “The Wing of the Netch“, Luminous Ink will rarely drop from harvesting crafting materials.
  • You can buy the Luminous Ink from other players directly, or through Guild Traders.

After completing the Indrik and Netch wings on one character, all of your other characters will be able to get Luminous Ink from the world from defeated enemies and harvested materials.

Best place to farm Luminous Ink from enemies

Any enemies that drop loot, can drop Luminous Ink as well. The best places to farm Luminous Ink will have loads of melee enemies that walk after you and you can kill them fast. Loot is shared with everyone who damages the enemies, but only drops for the best 12 dps so try to avoid crowded places like Alikir Dolmens.

You can team up with other players to loot the same enemies within your render range without personally doing damage as long as there isn’t more than 12 players around.

Best Place to farm Luminous Ink from harvesting crafting materials

Any area that spawns loads of resource nodes is also good for farming Luminous Ink. Craglorn is regarded as the best place to farm Luminous Ink due to the expensive Fortified Nirncrux and Potent Nirncrux having a chance to drop, but this also makes the zone very crowded. Be sure to slot the Plentiful Harvest Champion Point as it works for Luminous Ink as well so be sure to slot it.

Luminous Ink drops from all sources that are considered a “material node” therefore you will find them in backpacks and urns as those can drop waters for alchemy.

Remember to slot the Master Gatherer and Plentiful Harvest Champion Points to get the most out of your farming!
