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

As always, it's just a way for them to get more players to make mules so they get extra $$$ from the mules.

Since it's November, and sales last till January... that means SE can collect two months worth of mule $$$ from players(since players have to create a mule at least for 45 days, or two payment months).

SE doing the usual "milk the fan base for $$$" till FFXI ends.

I was "retired" during the last 2 events, so i'm not up to speed.

Forgive the ignorance, but what's with the all hate? Seems like a normal, Big Win at little cost event.

People will complain about anything. Personally, I'm taking December off, so that means that the Bonanza may be a factor in whether I reactivate in January or wait 'til the next version update or whatever.

It's just a bit of fun.
Some people will make 19 mules and buy a further 3 accounts to try and win, but these are idiots and SE needs the money more than them, to further fund their development teams crack pot.
A business trying to make money? Madness.
