White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

[Niqote]

I think the main problem here is that the items are given for free.

I think this kind of exclusive item should be gated behind a similar accomplishment that people had to back in 1.0. A good move, in my opinion, would be to give it to players who clear all savage content in the stormblood expansion, or even better : beat nael deus darnus with minimum item level. That would have been far more appropriate.

Yes, I feel the same way. Similar challenge for a similar reward. Ultimately it would have been nice to see The Raven, Nevermore recreated for 2.0 and available from the Wandering Mistral.

Even then, perhaps it should have been a replica, not the exact original. Best of both worlds.
