    Request: Let us purchase Menphina's Earing or something similar from the store

    As the title says, as a new player who missed the Endwalker pre-order time period, it would nice to be able to access an item that gives 30% more exp - even if that involves buying it for money when others got it for free for pre-order.

    The fact there's no way to get an exp boost in that slot anywhere in the game further emphasizes the need for something to be made available for players who missed pre-orders on expansions that only release every 2 years.

    Just a thought from a new player who's trying to level alt jobs and would like to do it as fast as veteran players but physically cant.

    Unfortunately SE has never re-offered preorder bonuses, ever, so I can pretty safely say it's sadly gone forever.

    Having said that, there is another item in the game that has the same bonus - as I understand it there is, or was, an accessory available from the Bozja content that has the exact same EXP buff as the Menphina Earring, but, alas it should go without saying that it would be impossible to get to use on levelling your first Job. But it's still an alternaltive.

    Not quite. Bozjan Earring is only a 10% EXP buff, from level 71 to 80. Menphina's Earring is equippable at level 1, and is a 30% buff.

    This. I did start playing before endwalker so I could get menphina's but by that point the aetheryte was already unavailable.
    If they just added a glam version to the store I'd buy it. they're missing out on money here.

    They did add the yellow-pommed moogle cap to the store, a non-functional moogle cap, and I kinda want it but only if it was dyable so I could put metallic purple on it.

    Maybe one day they'll change it and add the aetheryte earring and glam versions of all the other preorder bonuses. When they want the money.

    Likewise, but for the Baron earrings and circlet. I think I've seen them used all of twice in the four years I've been playing. They might as well not exist any more.

    Furthermore, we've added the brand-new, account-wide Adventurer's Supply Kit to the store lineup. The handy set includes Menphina's earring (which increases EXP earned when defeating enemies by 30% when level 80 and below), a phial of Fantasia, aetheryte tickets, and more!
    Weird way of doing that, and also making it difficult that they'll ever release the other lower-level preorder earrings.

    Well, whilst I'll acknowledge this 'Kit' seems more aimed at new players, I will say I don't have the earring as I started playing FFXIV shortly after Endwalker launched and missed the pre-order period.

    However, I have no desire to Fanta my character and never have, I already have the parasol, the tickets would obviously be useful at least and I already have the emote. The earring would only really serve as a Glam item and not certain I want to pay £6 for that.
