Participation criteria for the double relic drop event are quite straightforward, as it requires you to have access to the Cavern of Corrosion in Honkai Star Rail. While veterans will likely have the domain unlocked, newcomers must complete the encounters within the Path of Drifting Cavern to activate the option.

You can access the event from the Travel Log, located in the Pause menu. Now all you have to do is select whichever relic set you want and teleport to its respective cavern to face the encounter. After defeating all the enemies, you will receive the double drops in exchange for the usual 40x Trailblaze Power.

Keep in mind that the daily double drop reward is limited. The drop rate will also be set to the usual amount once you hit capacity. Additionally, you can track the maximum and currently remaining opportunities on the event page. It is also worth noting that the daily drop opportunity is set to refresh at 4 AM, server time.

It seems like HoYoverse has finally paid attention to community requests, as the upcoming event has been in high demand ever since the release of the title.
