Is it me, or is the new pre-order XP earring not working on HoH end-of-dungeon XP?
HoH XP only has armory bonus applied to it, nothing else. The earring boosts in-combat XP only, just as the FC action and food affect it as well.
yeah not work you can use in dungeon for leveling
I dont know why it would? does rested XP work in PotD/HoH either?
HoH and PoTD have completely separate EXP gains and leveling systems, so no bonuses to gear count...since the gear you use is replaced with aether armor upon entering.
To be fair, the description says "Increase EXP earned by 30% when level 70 and below." Should have said combat EXP so there was less confusion, but I had already figured it was combat exp to begin with because we're not getting that easy of a pass with the earrings.
Doesn't it also increase crafting/gather exp?
No.
It explicitly states that it is only usable by DoW/DoM classes.
It probably should specify Combat EXP but ehh... Given that pretty much every other EXP boost is Combat EXP it shouldn't be much of a surprise...Quote:
Aetheryte Earring
An earring modelled after the aetherytes found in towns across the land. Please do not attempt to teleport to yourself. Grants a 30% increase in EXP when worn, up to level 70.
* Equippable only by Disciples of War or Magic classes and jobs.
But yeah... Time to farm dungeons until 70 on all combat based jobs! -.-
As a side note: This thing is BiS for BLU if anyone cares... Given it gives a metric ton of primary stat. It's literally like 9x the INT on it than the level 50 earrings from Ishgard >.>
I was looking for an HoH bonus so I didn't have to spend 15+ minutes in queues on my DoW DPS jobs. So it's still faster just to keep running HoH than do dungeons =\
Well, that was a surprise; I was expecting to wear my aetheryte earring to help get my last two crafting classes up there. PLD is the only combat class I currently have. (I was going to wait until all my crafters were 70 in order to free up armoury chest space before adding more combat jobs)
I mean...

"* The bonus effect will only apply from level 1 through 70.
* Equippable only by Disciples of War or Magic classes and jobs."
The stats on the earrings sync based on your level. equip one of the i130 earrings then equip the Aetheryte ones; you'll see your int stay the same or only change slightly. Otherwise a lvl 1 anything would be able to practically one-shot or do tremendously high damage due to gaining practically 100 primary stat.
They're basically just a "you can wear them from 1-70 without ever having to replace them since they have scaling stats" kind of deal.
HOH/POTD gave flat amounts of EXP when doing a floor set for each level. Don't know why anything would change that. Same for getting EXP from PvP stuff.
How did you guys get your preordered items? I haven't received mine as of now
You have to activate your pre-order key. Go to SE store and follow the instructions you will find there.
You should receive a code after purchase (For PC, you'll get an email, for Steam it will be under "CD Key" option for the game. IDK about PS4)
After which you should go to the Mog Station and log in.
Then go to the "Account" page and find the option for "Redeem Pre-Order Bonus".
Enter in your code for the pre-order items (Or copy/paste it in) and click next. Then, click next a second time to confirm that you want your items (Gremlin Minion and Aetherite Earrings).
Voila, the next time you log into the game, you'll have a mail that contains the items.
Simple right? :rolleyes:
PS4 is easy, at least if you're buying the digital version - I'd purchased the pre-order through PS Store, then yesterday when I logged in it prompted me to register the expansion to my account.
For someone who purchased a physical edition, they probably have to go through the same "registering the code on Mog Station" process you described.
