sure there have been other items exclusive to new players too.
New players were given an EXP boosting item to catch them up with the current base, it probably only matched the EXP boost we would have received while levelling another job while having at least one maxed out. The only other thing I can think of are the mounts for people who got a friends to join, but in that instance both players received the item I think, or just the friend referring them.
