I think this is the first time they’ve offered an XP earring for sale outside of a preorder bonus!
It seems like a pretty good deal for new players who joined at the beginning of an expansion cycle and would otherwise have to wait 1-2 years for the next preorder earring.
It’s also one cent cheaper than a fantasia, includes a fantasia, and is account-wide, so for a new player who already went through their two free fantasias and is looking to buy another one, it’d be better to buy this instead.
