Mog Bonanza, the Stuff of Adventurer Dreams

Ever wonder what it would be like to bathe in a pool of gil or bask in the attention of your peers as you strut through town square with a kraken club-caliber weapon swaying at your hip? If your answer is yes, then the Mog Bonanza is not an event you can afford to miss!

As a show of gratitude to all of you who have helped to make Vana'diel such a vibrant realm of adventure for these past eight years, we'll be giving away some of the most extravagant prizes ever to grace a Mog Bonanza! Don't miss this chance to turn your Vana'dielian dreams into reality and become the envy of all fellow adventurers. Ridiculous amounts of gil or super-rare items of legend—or both—await you!

How to Play

The Mog Bonanza is a number-guessing game in which you pick a five-digit number of your choice, kupo. Playing is simple! Purchase a Mog Bonanza marble (*1) from a Bonanza Moogle at designated areas (*2), then have the vendor inscribe your desired five-digit number on it, kupo. If you can't decide on a number, we moogles will be more than happy to pick one for you. The winning numbers will be announced at a later date, so sit tight and leave the rest to Lady Luck, kupo!

The conditions for winning are as follows:

Rank 1 prize: all five digits matching.
Rank 2 prize: the last four digits matching.
Rank 3 prize: the last three digits matching.
Rank 4 prize: the last two digits matching.
Rank 5 prize: the last digit matching.

* The winning number for each prize rank will be drawn separately. In the event that winning numbers overlap for multiple prize ranks, the higher-ranked prize will be given precedence. For example, should the winning numbers for ranks 4 and 5 be “11” and “1” respectively, the holder of a bonanza marble etched with the number “11111” will be awarded with a rank 4 prize.

*1
Up to 10 Mog Bonanza marbles can be purchased per character. You can have the same number inscribed on multiple marbles. This will mean bigger earnings should you have a winning number.

*2
Purchase your Mog Bonanza marbles, check winning numbers, and collect prizes from Bonanza Moogles at Port San d'Oria (I-9), Port Bastok (L-8), Port Windurst (F-6), or the Chocobo Circuit (H-8).

*1 [ Regarding Gil Prizes ]

The amount of gil awarded for each rank will be determined by first taking a percentage value (listed below) of the proceeds of marble sales in all worlds, then further dividing the resultant figure by the total number of winners representing each rank.

Rank 1 → 50%
Rank 2 → 23%
Rank 3 → 27%

For example, in the case that marble sale proceeds total 10 billion gil, with 50 rank 1, 500 rank 2, and 5000 rank 3 prize winners, the amount of gil awarded to the winners of each rank would be as follows:

Rank 1 Prize: (10 billion x 50%) ÷50 = 100 million
Rank 2 Prize: (10 billion x 23%) ÷500 = 4.6 million
Rank 3 Prize: (10 billion x 27%) ÷5000 = 540,000

Time to win nothi- 10 inventory spaces!

[Rocl]

what the fuck at some of those prizes

[Kimiko]

Old model prizes are old.

[Darkyrm]

Adding some Abyssea / AF3+2 / Shinryu drops would have been a lot nicer, glad to see at least Empyreals and Lokis :/

[macross]

Shinryu drops are shit easy to get, got full set in a day.

[Lovex]

Gimpness.

[Nitecon]

Who knows what SE are thinking. Either they have banished relics to the dump by not even considering them in the bonanza, or they seem to think in some way they are still the king of the hill in terms of weapons.

Either way, they are deluded.

[Nitecon]

Shitty double post

[SephYuyX]

Why did they announce this 3 months ago, and then again now. I think just now would have been sufficient.

[JigglyJam]

Why did they announce this 3 months ago, and then again now. I think just now would have been sufficient.

To give enough time for mules to be created in anticipation. Although I'm not sure who does that.

[Shin Volcano]

Shinryu drops are shit easy to get, got full set in a day.

Yes, because all drops are 100% need no crour, and is an easy access, what type of cookie would you like?

Anyway.

Most of those drops are pretty outdated/not needed, especially the salvage ones, i think that is why they added the emp weapons with them, altho the - 10 inventory really isn't an issue now, but most are just lol worthy

Adding shinryu drops would have been a better idea.

[Khiinroye]

Not everyone has 8 million cruor mac.

[Fiendishone]

Look at it this way, they gave us a Mog Sack so at least we don't have to toss/mule a bunch of shit to make room for the marbles to sit there for 2 months.

[vagus]

People gotta complain about free shit. Lol.

[Karbuncle]

Not everyone has 8 million cruor mac.

What i plan to do... Friend is Brew'ing the first one, going on Piercing time going to trigger blue with us 4 of us while the brew'er sits back and waits for Blue, then goes to zerg it.

That way we all get Abyssite of the Cosmos and can pretty much "Farm" it from that point.

Really just need 1 initial "brewer" to make it farmable status, and the lengthy pre-req.

[Sho]

Who knows what SE are thinking. Either they have banished relics to the dump by not even considering them in the bonanza, or they seem to think in some way they are still the king of the hill in terms of weapons.

Either way, they are deluded.

Pfft, why would SE be deluded about weapons that they themselves have created?

Anyways Shinryu items will be shit easy to obtain after the first 2mil cruor bomb, no need for it to be in Bonanza. Subsequently, Empyrean weapons are also shit easy to make, and therefor not needed to be added to Bonanza as well.

Not like any of you noobs will win anything anyways, gogo Rank 4-5 onry.

[Yugl]

The mog sacks came just in time for mog marbles. Just sayin~

[Nightfyre]

Wonder why they chose the level 85 Empyreans instead of giving us the level 90 versions...

[Fievel]

Fuck yes maybe I can finally get my Skadi's Cuirie

[MaachaQ]

Who knows what SE are thinking. Either they have banished relics to the dump by not even considering them in the bonanza, or they seem to think in some way they are still the king of the hill in terms of weapons.

Either way, they are deluded.

I foolishly hope by announcing the Empyrians for the Bonanza but not Relics means that Relics will get some "uber" upgrade in an update or 2 that will put them back on top... yeah... >.> At least my horn (once finished) will be better than all other horns again...
