http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/imgs/ic01.gifWhat's “Mog Bonanza”?

Final Fantasy XI's 7th anniversary is fast approaching, which means— you’ve guessed it, kupo—the Mog Bonanza is just around the corner! The Mog House Management Union (MHMU) has unanimously decided to bring back this wildly popular event for the ballooning benefit of all the indefatigable adventurers of Vana’diel. Determined that the second edition of the event not be outdone by the first, we moogles have prepared a veritable treasure trove of prizes that will have even the jaws of connoisseurs of last year’s inaugural event dropping to the ground, kupo! Don’t even think about missing 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!


http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/imgs/ic01.gifHow 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

[Kuwait-cafe]

oh snap

[Gredival]

Defending Ring's up for grabs this time, wow.

And Joyeuse is in the same category as Speed Belt and Gaiters?

[aznmajiktaru]

oh hey, they changed it to how a lotto is supposed to be played ;o

edit whoa shit rank 4 prize khroma ore?! really? lol

[Indalecia]

D.ring!

[Ker]

WOW D ring as prize If i ever win rank 1 prize i'll hand down pick D ring

[arshesney]

Ada/Faf/Behe statues, nice touch.

[Aragon of Odin]

D.Ring is sexy, but if 1st prize is anywhere near 100M I just couldn't see many people passing on an almost complete relic for a D.Ring. Suprised but happy that they kept Haute as a Rank 3 prize still.

[Tomiko]

Glad its back and I like the new changes!

Edit: lol @ Nidhogg Scales as a reward.

[aznmajiktaru]

D.Ring is sexy, but if 1st prize is anywhere near 100M I just couldn't see many people passing on an almost complete relic for a D.Ring. Suprised but happy that they kept Haute as a Rank 3 prize still.

I think the prize will be well over 100 mil. 10bil /2k per marble = 5mil marble purchases/ 10 marbles per person= 500,000 characters buying 10 marbles each. This is under the assumption that there are 50 winners, which I guess is possible since there were 56 last year. Really depends on how many people win first prize but I can't see first prize being anything less than 100m >_>.

[Ker]

Just hope i win something i didn't win jack shit last one not even rank5 /cry

[Pikarya]

That time again for Square-Enix to make bank!

[Spira]

i like the statues and the abilitiy to obtain those event BC orbs now..

Pest Repellent is for the Swarm for those who didnt get to try it..
i always though they might add it as a quest or something.. sigh

[Tricen]

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

Hmmm.... Skimpin out on the gils, eh?

Adamantoise Statue Behemoth Statue
Fafnir Statue

[Tricen]

Rank2: Joyeuse
Rank3: Haut

[Aragon of Odin]

Suprised that there's no PW drops, and why AV GKT and not N.Sash

[pchan]

What happened to HQ abj gear?

They sucked lol .. well most of them.

I wonder what those statue will do ... inbe4 Fanfnir instanced (it makes sense considering the other rank6 prizes).
