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

Seems a little early to me, but whatever.

After nothing the first time around, and Rank 3 (on a mule) the 2nd time around, maybe this time I'll *finally* get a Haute.
 
If I played and somehow won rank one prize, would be down to aureole vs defending ring probably aureole though
 
The Ninurta's sash is really nice, I think I'd get that as its usable by the most jobs :D

Hopefully I win this year
 
This seems really early this year. Wasn't the final tally in August of this year for 2009? The contest feels about 6 months short of where it started the last two years.
 
Can get another statue for my mog house; might go with shadow lord if that one looks good.

I think they're realizing that membership is quickly waning and they're trying to retain as many players as possible.
 
It is between the Mars's Ring and the money for me on Rank 1, V.Belt/Gaiterz/money on rank 2, Hauteclaire/Algol on rank 3.

Also, a Fafnir statue if rank 5, because I didn't get one last time because I screwed up my numbers :/

I do not quite understand this, no offense.
Personally I'd just go for the gil if I were to ever get lucky enough to get a rank 1.
With the gil rank 1 will give, which should be at least above 50 million you can buy all 3 pieces from salvage groups selling them, cover the ingots and gold coins and still have a lot of gil left to pimp out the rest.

The only items that in my opinion outclass the gil prize are the Defending ring (but only if you are a paladin main and actually have the gear to go with it.) and the Ninurta's sash which will probably sell for quite a bit more then the gil prize if you are patient and ballsy enough.

Knowing my luck however I'll probably just end up with another statue.
I did get a rank 4 last time too though, which was nice.

I'm surprised that there aren't any ZNM/PW drops in there though.

That blows. I try to take a very "This is just for the hell of it" mentality, so in the event of exactly THAT screenshot happening, I don't lose my shit and punch a whole through... Well, probably the entire city. Maybe I'll have someone else check my marbles for me, just in case...
