  • Mog Bonanza Imminent! (05/07/2010)



    Ladies and gentlemen!
    The event that adventurer dreams are made of—the Mog Bonanza—is nigh!

    Without a doubt, linkshells throughout Vana'diel are abuzz as adventuring comrades discuss the extravagant prizes they've set their sights upon, the numbers that they'll employ to usher in such fortune, and other timely topics of the day.

    Proceed here to learn how your dreams might be made reality via the Mog Bonanza!

    *Bonanza marbles will be available for purchase from Sunday, May 16th, at 1:00am.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




    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).

    [ 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

    Looks like the prizes are the same as the last one. Fair assessment?

    Choices:
    Rank 5 (each mule + main): Miratete's Memoirs
    Rank 4 (mule or main): Whichever item is worth most as per This list. Held for a couple months and sold once the market re-stabilizes.
    Rank 3 (mule): Whichever item is worth the most as per This list. Again, held for a month or two and sold after all thoughts of the bonanza are done.
    Rank 3 (main): Probably a Kupon L/Faith Torque, since I have long since abandoned all hope on getting to Sea.
    Rank 2 (mule): Gil
    Rank 2 (main): Depends on the amount of Gil. If not "enough", Enkidu's harness or Black Belt
    Rank 1 (mule): Gil
    Rank 1 (main): Gil (depending if it is "enough"), or Usukane. Gil will likely win out in all cases here though.

    I'll be going all out (as usual): 10 marbles each on main and 12 mules. At the very least, I'll be able to walk away with a rank 4. Huzzah!

          It's not like the actual Bonanza page information was updated. My point is that this is practically a re-post.

            Someone who doesn't read the forums much may have missed the previous notation from a week ago. This still benefits many. TY GM

            And I'll repeat what I said before..... about how yay I get to be called a big phat loser again by Squeenix. Others can call me that to me face, but it just doesn't have the same sting as it does when Squeenix tells me that my none of my marbles won, please try again next year you mindless MMO zombie.

            And if you think they don't tell me that, think again. This little moogle stands there flying around with this evil shagrin and rancorous sarcasm... kinda like, he just gutted my entire ego and watched it spill its contents all over the ground before him.

            Moogles... vicious little creatures. You know they squint their eyes because they don't want you to see how small, black, and beedy their little eyes really are. It's all a conspiracy. CONSPIRACY I SAY.

            Just like the time how I figured out that RMTs were secretly trying to take over the world economy one poor, unequiped little nooblet at a time. No one believed me then! And now just look at your AH prices. LOOK AT THUM!!!1111

                  welll its probably for the best. I bought some for two of my mules, so hopefully they don't win anything exclusive. I was not looking forward to taking up ten spaces on my main, but was willing to make the sacrafice.
