Final Fantasy 14contains an innumerable number of collectibles, allowing players to customize their characters with rare equipment, minions, mounts, titles, and more. While these items can come from all different parts of the game, whether it be defeating powerful monsters or lengthy crafting grinds, the process of obtaining these items might not be worth the rewards for some players. Luckily, Final Fantasy 14’s Moogle Treasure Trove events provide players with an alternative method for obtaining a number of these normally exclusive items. The Moogle Treasure Trove is a series of events where players can complete specially marked duties in the Duty Finder to obtain Moogle Tomestones, a special event currency that can be used to purchase rewards normally obtained from other areas in the game, as well as unique items exclusive to the event.
Recent updates to the event formatintroduced the Mogpendium, a booklet rewarding players who complete special challenges with even more Moogle Tomestones, significantly increasing the number of Moogle Tomestones players can expect to obtain. The Second Hunt for Genesis is the 14th iteration of this series of events, bringing with it a new catalogue of purchasable items, including the exclusive and newly introduced Carbuncle Earring. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about where these items come from to help players decide on which items to prioritize, and which items to skip.
Exclusive Emerald Carbuncle Earring
The Emerald Carbuncle Earring is the Moogle Treasure Trove’smost expensive item, costing 100 Moogle Tomestones. Despite being a minuscule piece of equipment, the earring is a Moogle Treasure Trove exclusive, with this being the only opportunity players will get to obtain it. While the aesthetic might not be to everyone’s tastes, collectors will want to prioritize obtaining this item first, as there are no other ways to get it.
Moogle Treasure Trove exclusive items like the Emerald Carbuncle Earrings have seen repeat appearances in later iterations of the Moogle Treasure Trove, such as the Namazu Earring that debuted in The Hunt for Philosophy in May 2019 reappearing in The Hunt for Esoterics in March 2021. While it’s uncertain if and when the Emerald Carbuncle Earring could appear next, players who miss this opportunity should keep their eyes open for future Moogle Treasure Troves for another opportunity to earn the accessory.
