- 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).

- Prize List

Rank 1 (All five digits)
Rank 2 (Last four digits)
Rank 3 (Last three digits)
Rank 4 (Last two digits)
Rank 5 (Last digit) (*3)
- [ 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

Now that that's finally out of the way, I have to ask why I'm even the one starting this dang thread in the first place. My note on nobody posting this yet was posted nearly fifteen hours ago. DiV, I am disappoint.
So everybody, post your lists, yadda yadda, I'm going to bed now.
