*Bonanza marbles will be available for purchase from Sunday, May 16th, at 8:00am.

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

Sea items, eh?

People know the drill by now.

[Tomiko]

Glad they're adding new items including PW items.

[NervosaEternal]

Incoming marbles with no winning numbers yet again!

[darkepyon]

Incoming marbles with no winning numbers yet again!

^This, plus the weeks of -inventory.

[Tagus]

I wish they would move the drawing closer to the end of the purchasing time frame. It's so shameless the way they go after those additional monthly fees.

[nitsuj]

How many marbles do you need to buy promise yourself a rank 3? I know someone has already done the math

(even though it won't matter since the item I want is rare/ex )

[Titanss]

No HH for Rank1? lame.

[Fawkes]

How many marbles do you need to buy promise yourself a rank 3? I know someone has already done the math

(even though it won't matter since the item I want is rare/ex )

1000 marbles/100 characters/2 million gil

[Narol]

All I care about is guaranteeing that rank 5 across all my characters. But Alexander Statue should've been a 2x2 thing, not a one-square thing.

[Khajit]

Looks like my rdm just went back into retirement after less than a week out in the open.

[Norellicus]

You need 1000 marbles to guarantee a rank 3 prize, you have to match 3 numbers ranging from 000-999.

[Seanr]

ugh.... Are we gonna have another 15 pages of D Ring or gtfo?

[aduidarnenye]

It says that the selling of the marbles ends on Thursday, June 7, 2010, but the 7th is a Monday. Anyone know what the real end date is?

[Tomiko]

ugh.... Are we gonna have another 15 pages of Sash or gtfo?

ftfy

[Priran]

whoa it's july already?

[Yugl]

whoa it's july already?

Different date system I'm guessing.

[Xajii]

No HH for Rank1? lame.

Mog Bonanza Kupon P

[D44kpunk]

don't worry everyone we give you complete shit for content but at least you can have mog bonanzas!

[Pandum]

why the fuk u evne try to troll us?? go play wow..

[Siatdiat]

Mog bonanza stuff

I guess after all the mog bonanza they have done, its too much to ask they change the weight of certain items? I dont see how they havent realized by now that joyeuse is not rarer than hauteclaire. I understand ebisu rod is a pain in the ass to get, but would it break the game to make it a rank lower considering its soloable and anyone can spend the time grinding it out? Thats not all but still, I guess noone sends comments in about the bonanza when it comes along?
