Now then. How to get the earrings

Okay now that I know My server won the earrings I want to know how to get them. A previous topic was complaining that it's OP missed them because they weren't mailed so that's out. Another poster That topic also stated that there's an NPC that sells them. My question is where is that NPC? (Applak Falls was also in the same post, but I can't spell it as you can see)

Last time they did this event, you could get the item from an NPC moogle. But you probably won't be able to buy them until after TGS or when 2.4 actually goes live at the very latest.

They will post a vendor at a later date that will sell the earrings for 1g. That's right, 1g. But they will only set the vendor up after TGS is over so you 're still going to have to wait.

I wasn't aware this event had started yet, it's already over? >.>

I doubt it's over, the Eorzean Census is tomorrow, and all the 2.4 stuff is the day after. I think we're just getting started - and looking at the winning servers list, I won't be surprised if they had to do a lottery round 2 like last time.

In that scenario they would have to break out the bomb earrings again.

On the other hand they probably prepared for this with some new "emergency designs" just in case this happens

Just as the above said.

Also, for the love of all things sacred, when you see this moogle, BUY ALL OF THE THINGS. The moogle will disappear after a few weeks (I think?) and will be gone until next year. So many people from last year complaining about the inability to buy earrings due to not realizing the vendor who sold them was temporary.

Honestly, the cactuar and bomb earrings will probably never be seen again. If the dodo earring is a sweep we'll probably get different earring entirely. Maybe a coblyn earring?

Morbol Earring might be interesting.

You'll get the Cactuar /and/ Dodo earrings if your server won, or did you mean after this event is done and gone?

So you're right. I missed that. Nice one on you Square.

I will continue to wear my Bomb Earring proudly as part of my glamour.

So glad I got them when they were there. If your server won I believe I read that they are delivered via mail, not sure if after the event or during. But another nice glamour item for sure.

It's never delivered via mail. You need to buy from a special moggle NPC.

Last year the cactuar and bomb earrings were purchasable from the Itinerant Moogle, located in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (X:8, Y:13), Old Gridania (X:10, Y:6), & Ul'dah: Merchant's Strip - Steps of Thal (X:11, Y:11). No doubt it will be the same for this year when the lucky servers that win get their cactuar and dodo earrings.

How do you know if your server was picked?

Can someone post where I can see the winners so far?

Ah sorry I don't normally read stickies other than rules.

Well, I was going to post the link that lists the winning world servers, but I got distracted. >_>

Ahhh thanks... After my first visit I tend to ignore the stickies

Also you Malboro won :D

62/64 worlds have won according to that list so far.

Looks like the 'lottery' was actually meant for the loser :p

Nah, they just give off the illusion that some worlds might not actually get it. But if people beat the boss-of-the-year enough times, then usually every server will get it.

Yay Midgard won!
