What's “Mog Bonanza”?

Final Fantasy XI's 7th anniversary is fast approaching, which means— you’ve guessed it, kupo—the Mog Bonanza is just around the corner! The Mog House Management Union (MHMU) has unanimously decided to bring back this wildly popular event for the ballooning benefit of all the indefatigable adventurers of Vana’diel. Determined that the second edition of the event not be outdone by the first, we moogles have prepared a veritable treasure trove of prizes that will have even the jaws of connoisseurs of last year’s inaugural event dropping to the ground, kupo! Don’t even think about missing 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






*2

Hot stuff.

Update schedule news:

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news15657.shtml

The next version update for FINAL FANTASY XI is currently scheduled for Apr. 8, 2009.
* Maintenance details will be released at a later date.

After this version update, the contents for the add-on scenario that became available for advance purchase on Mar. 22, 2009, "A Crystalline Prophecy - Ode of Life Bestowing" (listed below as "A Crystalline Prophecy") will be playable.

Additionally, due to congestion on or around the date of the version update, it may take some time for the contents of "A Crystalline Prophecy" to show up in FINAL FANTASY XI after purchase. It is recommended that if you are considering a purchase of "A Crystalline Prophecy," you do so before the version update.

I like the addition of dynamis kupons.
Think they should have left the gil at a set number though, hopoefully they will announce before people go to claim their prizes how much gil they would receive.
 
The omission of Armada Hauberk makes me kinda sad, that was one of the cooler items available for Rank 1 last year :|
 
loljoyeuse rank2 wut

Aye some good new prizes hopefully I can win rank3 again or higher ;)

If you won rank 1 would you get defending ring since I doubt any LS on our server sells them?

I just saw the pics of the statues. They look amazing. it's worth going to the lotto just to get a rank 5 prize alone.

Cool, was wondering about those and the pest repellent. Where can I see pics?
 
Pest Repellent
Mercenary Camp Entry Slip
Training Grounds Key
Martial Ball Invite
Cordial Invite

These are all trigger items to fight special bosses. No rewards except fun and titles, as far as I am aware of.
 
I would for sure take a Behemoth statue over an EXP page. That's awesome.
 
I think the fafnir statue is really cute. ^^

It starts the 15th. So you'd have to have a mule made yesterday.
Think its part of an attempt to keep ppl from making 10 mules with 10 marbles each
