    • 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!

      The third edition of the Mog Bonanza is coming, bringing with it a veritable treasure trove of prizes that will have even the most affluent adventurers drooling on their own feet. 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

          It's the same Mog Bananza they've done before. Very much like a State Lottery if you know how they work.

          You can buy up to 10 sets of numbers per character (has to be level 10 or higher). Based on the results you may win a nice piece of gear, some gil, a "trinket" or absolutely nothing at all.

            It's nice of them to put in the AV drops though because it's the only way anyone will ever see them outside of the original wall-sploiters.

              Fortunately, over the sporadic periods of time that I have logged in to FFXI for the past few months, it was for a single purpose: farming. I have easily enough gil to buy more than 40 of these things.

              Anyway, same routine as last time, with my list of desired rewards making superficial changes:

              Rank 1: Still Defending Ring (it was a tough choice between it and the Aureole)
              Rank 2: Velocious Belt (this is a change from last time where I chose Duelist's Chapeau, if I remember right)
              Rank 3: Still Nashira Seraweels (still a "duh" here)
              Rank 4: Behemoth Hide (and hold on to the dang thing until it climbs to 400k+ again)
              Rank 5: Probably just a Miratete's Memoirs

              Concerning the Defending Ring over the Aureole, it was a long debate with myself over which would be more worthwhile if I managed to strike it lucky. Both are, after all, unparalleled in what they do At one point I had considered Ninurta's Sash as well, but the best part of that piece can be emulated in a Speed/Velocious Belt. To be blunt, though, as a Red Mage I'd more likely be given the chance to lot on an Aureole than on a D. Ring. Not to mention that Sturm's Report can replace it for the non-AV-oriented types.

              Velocious Belt over Duelist's Chapeau I made because I reconsidered a few things: yes, D. Chapeau is all that and a bag of chips, but I reasoned that Dynamis can't be much worse than NM camping, not to mention that I've been hearing a few stories of Chapeaus dropping more often than they usually seem to lately. As a side bonus, I would get to use the Belt 20 levels sooner.

              Everything else is self-explanatory. I don't feel like getting another statue this time around, to be honest.

              Oh, and for laughs:

              Rank 2: Birdman's Cape.

              Rank 3: Vampiric Claws.

              There are quite plainly no words for that second one. Hmm, a level 39 pair of slashing H2H weapons, or an Imperial Wootz Ingot? Or a Star Sapphire, or Ultima/Omega legs? /-.-;

                Still no free relic weapons or PW drops though lol.

                Nice to see the PW drops though. Now rank 1 is a tough call between kraken, the gil, or Ninurta's Sash...

                  Don't forget the KC Souleater zerg that went on for 2 days that netted a few more kills awhile back.

                  And seeing AV drops is nice, although after seeing pics of them after this years Bonanza, I really want those statues for my MH <_<

                    at least you can absolutely be sure to get the rank 5 prize.
                    And increase your chances @ rank 4 prize as the number of your character growth.

                      Not worth reactivating for. I mean I've got the gil sitting on my main but since half of my characters are banned I'm not even going to bother.

                        Are FFXI and WoW feeling a pinch from Aion or something? WoW's giving away free pets left and right, another Bonanza not to long after the last in FFXI.

                        Is flying in an MMO really that big of a fad?

                          I shall amuse myself with this thought: There will be more Rank 1 than the number of times we've ever killed Absolute Virtue.

                          Oh well! More BCNM entry items for me.

                            The last one was half a year ago, but I think I see what you mean . . .

                            The fact that Flyff still exists grants plausibility to that hypothesis.

                              You can fly in WoW anyway, just not as early as you can in Aion. It takes like a month to get to 70 where you can get flying anyway so it's not like you go without for all that long in WoW.
