Every game is made with lines of code. As this item exists, there must be some lines allowing it to exist. Why don't you simply post the part of the item's code that mentions the boxes rewards with any needed text style change ?
Didn't the test failed the purpose? (for Anthy earring?)

The Fellowship Support Compensation Box no longer exists in-game. The rewards in the new box are completely different than before.
Juji's test is unequivocal. A fundamental, obviously deliberate change has happened in our version. I guess that's what we have to live with.
Maybe there was some misleading info to Juji? Maybe the boxes he opened weren't enough for the drop?
I find it strange that a big change like that was made from Korean to English version.
I opened 2,000 more boxes and did not get the earring. That powerwiki link is for the old box.
From our Tauti patch notes:
"The reward for the Balthus Knights - Antharas Expedition Campaign has increased: in addition to an Expedition Volunteer Reward Chest, you also get an Expedition Volunteer’s Crystal Pouch."

That was my first thought too. But the clincher are the Unidentified Eternal armors - they don't have them in Korea. The Koreans have (or used to have) Blessed Eternal jewelry instead. That means this was really a major, intentional change, not just the Antharas Earring accidentally slipping off the drop list (like some time ago the Vale Master Transformation Sealbook in the Tower of Insolence).
By the way, the un-instanced Antharas and Valakas have been made easier in Korea last Wednesday: http://lineage2.plaync.co.kr/board/update/view?articleId=510303 (under "Hunting Grounds"/사냥터)
That's Glory Days, so maybe we will see this around Christmas on our servers :)
That's exactly what I`ve wanted to see.The test did not fail to deliver what it was meant for, for the sole reason that I wanted to know if you can get an earring from a reasonable amount of runs.
It has turned out that either the earring reward no longer exist or the chance is so low, that it makes it unobtainable in practice.

I want to point out, it's not first time that NCWest totally removes a certain drop. In Freya and High 5 patches Zaken (the 78+ one) was able to drop Zaken Earring with a very low chance. Rumors went that chances increased when Zaken was killed in under 6 minutes after entering the instance. The Earring never ever dropped on NCWest servers because the Earring was never added to the drop listing until the very end of High 5, while in Korea and Russia the Earring was obtained quiet alot of times.
By changing the drop tables and reward tables for Antharas by removing the epic jewel (former) botters and rich RMT-ers are the only ones able to buy and have Antharas and after the current Draco event all the Antharas owners made it Blessed due to the item. Antharas became an useless raid without the epic.
Could it be a bug in our version, as-in not as intended?
I mean if korea has been getting it why don't we?
It certainly doesn't make any sense why they would make that raid not worth doing.... look at those drop rates, what's the point now?
Established servers have lots of anthy's floating around, now with the event every server has them in it, why not let players have a shot at getting one themselves?....
no sense

I've to totally agree, its almost near to no point doing this instance if you have no chace of getting an earring.I'm starting to believe that this chest we have now is not working "as inteded".Sending support ticket.
I have updated this test. There was no change to the item in Glory Days. The test sample size that was originally used with this test was too small. The earring can be received with a very low chance.
Juji I see a lot of misleading info in this Thread and am wondering if the "Normal" Antharas Earring IS indeed available. Just a simple yes or no answer plz, ty.

Bump.
Could update this lab test for valiance?
I mean not only the chests, but also for the pouches.
The lasts "Instanced" Antharas that i did, I've noticed that has little loot to be significant (at least for me) :(
Good thing I got 1 (antharas Earing). from Epedition. Was the Crazy funny day of my like. Did Instances With War tag in Party. Get my reward from NPC. after instance Party breaks and Wartag kills me.. i lay on ground for a few minutes talking to clan about what happened. Told to relog. I go do K85 solo and open Box!!! Vuiala! Antharas earing starring me in the Face. So, I give it to my Clan leader. I am really happier with out it. I have Orfens earing. that is much better than Dragon earing.
