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

[Colenzo]

or just get the gil

[Massimo]

Verethragna 1090

Considering that trial 1090 is for Yoichi, I'd go with typo.

[S N K]

And Ridill is still a Rank 1 prize... OKKKKKK

[Kirschy]

Even though I'm sure I won't win anything, I'm hoping for a bunch of Rank 2 Haidate to enter the market so I can finalli pick one up at a reasonable price -_-. Fucking zeni cock-blocking.

Also, wtf @ lv85 Empyreans as Rank 1 Prize

[LinkNZ]

Why is Joyeuse of all things still on that shit and not Nightfall?

Considering no one does campaign any more, a freaking lotto event is probably the only way anyone is ever gonna see that again.

Such an awesome looking great sword. ;(

Nice they added CoP Dynamis gear though for people like me who are OCD over having complete sets despite if they're actually any good or not.

Now.... I..... just gotta win!

[Clash Perez]

Yay, another Bonanza which will lead to 1-2 rank 5 prizes on my mules, and nothing on my main character.

I was hoping for more teasers from the actual update.

[Karbuncle]

Lum. Items on Rank 4? Awesome, Free Love torque if i can win Rank 4 =x

Need to just low-man it i mean really...

Oh well! These prizes look boss but i try not to think about it what with me never going to win Rank1/2/3.

I'll still participate though, going to suck with all my Empyreon+1 Seals shitting up Inventory a long with these x.x;

[Shnaklaha]

I'm kinda dissapointed/angry that the rank 1 prizes is emp and not...say, fully upgraded magian relics....it's kinda strange but...ehhh w/e i'm not gonna win anyways.

[Appie]

Wow... I've never seen so much junk in a list. Not activating the mules for this lol.

[Maguile]

Kinda stupid that they put all that old (and mostly useless now) stuff in there instead of the new stuff people actually want. Wheres the AF3 stuff?

[Xerlic]

I find it funny that some of the bodies from Rank 2 are better now than the Salvage bodies from Rank 1.

[Khajit]

The list kinda looks like mostly junk to me atm but i do want some AA statues so it'll work out at least a little bit.

[Taint]

Too meh to bother activating all my mules.

[NynJa]

Judging by the fact they took Mythics and Relics off the list, this is kinda shattering my hopes that SE is going to boost them...time to work on an Emp...then again Relics/Mythics were a different/one-time bonanza, right?

[darkepyon]

Judging by the fact they took Mythics and Relics off the list, this is kinda shattering my hopes that SE is going to boost them...time to work on an Emp...then again Relics/Mythics were a different/one-time bonanza, right?

Yeah, and you could only pick a single 5-digit number and you had to make all your picks when you submitted your number.

[Appie]

That was the SE ID Bonanza yeah. One number per ID, very rare chance. And not seeing Relics in this list makes me think they actually have plans for them. If you bother to list old, useless gear and whatnot and not have relics (if they were to remain useless) in that list, while you do add Empyreans, that could mean only 1 thing? A glimmer of hope for relic owners? XD
