This time I'm gonna buy the crap out of those lottery tickets.

For great justice.

Can we move AA statues around characters now or still no go? <_<;

I'm not sure if I'm even going to bother. I never win. Then again, it's not as though it's that expensive to give it a go.

Yup, time for me to dump another quarter mil buying tickets for all my mules. The rare/ex DB update will certainly help on that if I win another rank 3 -- the last one I gave up a Faith Torque for whatever else I could get and sell/etc... hopefully that won't happen on my second account though.

Wish list (might as well get the ball rolling):
Rank 1: One of the toughest I've ever had to decide: Tossup between gil, one of those 10,000 dynamis currency pieces, Daurdabla and a Kenkonken. Ultimately it will depend on which of my characters wins it (in particular which account -- second account will take gil or the 10k piece, depending on which is more valuable at the time) and how I feel about which job I like the most at the time. Chances are it will come down to between gil and Kenkonken though.

Rank 2: Again, this comes down to a fight between gil and the EA ticket; the particular piece will have to depend on which piece for which job will benefit me the most. Right now, looking like a tossup between Cirque Farsetto +2, Caller's Horn +2, and Caller's Doublet +2. Will also depend if I have any of these pieces (or are close) when the final results come in.

Rank 3: Don't see anything particular interesting, so I'd probably go with gil.

Rank 4: Yinyang Robe or Faith Torque, depending on which I have. I'm guaranteed this, so I'm feeling very good about it. Only thing that could mess it up is getting it on my second account, in which case I'll take the highest valued sellable item, as always.

Rank 5: Nothing new in this category, so Ill go statues as always. I can apparently sell them for a pretty penny in my Bazaar.

Edit: For those who want a better way of seeing the prizes, I have them all set up under item lists on FFXIAH, here. It doesn't include what the Bonanza Kupons give, just the Kupons themselves. I might edit in those things if I ever get the time.

I need to remember to actually enter the contest this year.

Ah, but the real question... will you be able to mail the Kupon? I have a feeling you will, and that someone will try it and report if it works on the first day.

If the Kupons are mailable, definitely the MW -> Kenkonken 2666 for rank 1.

Rank 2, probably the Black Belt, since I've been leveling MNK. Gotta agree with gil on rank 3, gotta agree with Faith Torque or YYR or maybe Joytoy for rank 4. I'm kind of glad I got the Trotter Boots last time, since they aren't on the list this time.

Re: Announcing the Ninth Vana'versary Mog Bonanza! (05/10/2011)

Rank 1 Gil
Rank 2 +2 Gear
Rank 3 Gil
Rank 4 Joytoy I guess? Or seals.
Rank 5 Memoirs

Re: Announcing the Ninth Vana'versary Mog Bonanza! (05/10/2011)

Rank 1:

Nirvana... without question. -7 Avatar perp. +35 Avatar Magic Attack Bonus. Garland of Bliss. Attacks twice. Damage 90. Delay 402. Yes... oh sweet Jesus yes.

Rank 2:

Either NIN Feet +2 or SMN Horn +2... Not sure which one makes me happier.

Rank 3:

Gil or Nomad Moogle Rod. I'm torn.

Rank 4:

Faith Torque or Joy Toy.

Rank 5:

Alexander Statue. Yep.

Blah, I didn't even think it couldn't be mailable. I looked on The Official List, and it has all the Kupon's listed. However, not all the items that the Kupon can be redeemed for are on the list (like, for example, the Faith Torque), though most are.

So, that means I need to modify my choices, basically replacing whatever says "on my main account" with "on my main character" and "on my second account" with "on any of my mules". So there's a much higher chance I'll be getting a lot of gil, but my choices are pretty much still the same.

Also, if Dynamis coin drops seem to hold up as I've heard they have been the last couple days, those 10,000 pieces (if converted to the more affordable 100 pieces) could go for FAR more than the gil reward. Or, give you a nice instant stage 4 relic and some progress into the final stage.

OATMEAL!?!?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!

Rank 1 GIL! - With the option of a fully upgraded Empyrean Weapon you're going to choose Gil?

But lets be honest, most of us will really have our list look like this

Rank 1 Didn't get
Rank 2 Didn't get
Rank 3 Didn't get
Rank 4 Didn't get
Rank 5 Memoirs

**Murphie** · 05-12-2011, 11:21 AM

Re: Announcing the Ninth Vana'versary Mog Bonanza! (05/10/2011)

To be fair, oatmeal IS pretty crazy.

I don't know what Emp weapon I want yet, but I'd probably change it to that if by some miracle I got the Rank 1 prize.

As it is, yeah, so not going to get.

**Grizzlebeard** · 05-12-2011, 12:31 PM

Re: Announcing the Ninth Vana'versary Mog Bonanza! (05/10/2011)

Don't think of it as an Empyrean weapon, think of it as RL cash if you sell your account.

Assuming people still buy FFXI accounts.

Oh, and this wasn't an excuse for people to enter into a two page debate about how they'd never sell their accounts.

I know you would...

Yes you, I know who you are!

**Malacite** · 05-12-2011, 02:40 PM

Re: Announcing the Ninth Vana'versary Mog Bonanza! (05/10/2011)

I'd probably take a Nirvana if I got the Rank 1.

Getting a 90 Empyrean honestly isn't hard, just time consuming. Mythics are by far the worst to get still, and there's just no replacing Nirvana for a SMN.

If I did take an Empy it'd likely be Ukon or Vere though, since their Abby NMs suck. Ochain & Daraubala or w/e it's called are both damn tempting too, especially since they take more work.
