Yay it's back!!!

But tell me, why are they trying to make stuff complicated???

Last year 1st prize was 100,000,000 gil.

this year?

[ 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

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 PlayThe 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).

FINAL FANTASY XI 7th Anniversary Mog BonanzaPrice: 2000 gil per marble.
Marbles will be available for purchase from May 15 at 19:00 until May 31 at 8:00 (PST).
Winning numbers to be announced June 16 at 1:00 (PST).
Prizes will be available for collection from June 16 at 1:00 until June 30 at 8:00 (PST).
Conditions of Purchase: Only characters for whom 45 days or more has passed since creation can purchase bonanza marbles.

* The winning number will be randomly determined in a strictly supervised process.
* Employees of Square Enix, Square Enix Inc. and Square Enix Ltd. and their relatives are forbidden from participating in the Mog Bonanza.

It's all down to how many tickets are sold vs how many winners, in the example if 10 billion tickets are sold and there are 50 winnders you get 100,000,000 gil.

But if 10 billion tickets are sold, and there's only 1 winner that person is gonna get 5,000,000,000 (read 5 billion) gil.

Now if the cap is 999,999,999 wat would happen to the other 4 billion gil!?

I hope they will let you know how much gil each prize is before you have to choose. It would really suck to win the top prize and expect 100M and have 10x more winner than expected and only get 10M ... not that 10M is bad, but you might choose the Kraken Club over the gil then.

Also ... something do consider:
"Rank 1 Prize: (10 billion x 50%) ÷50 = 100 million" -- Fact
Rank 1 Prize: (10 billion x 50%) ÷ 1 = 500 million -- Just saying ...


check the math!!

10 billion x 50% = 5 billion

divide 5 billion by 1 person =??? yes thats right 5 billion :P

With the amount of people that go for it, I highly doubt 1 person will only win the first prize.

"Conditions of Purchase: Only characters for whom 45 days or more has passed since creation can purchase bonanza marbles."

No more leveling a mule to lv 5 in order to buy marbles, im guessing they mean online time.

Hopefully this will make it harder for RMT's to buy marbles though, if they ever did that last year.

Last year 1st prize was 100,000,000 gil.

this year?



My guess is that they are doing it this way because regardless of how many people choose gil, it still lowers the overall amount of gil across all servers.

At least this year there's a Rank 1 item worth considering. If I win Rank 1, I hope it's on a mule so I don't stop to think over Defending Ring.

I feel like I would actually pick D ring since you probably couldn't purchase one for 100 mil and I'll probably never get one...hahaha

True, but I would never buy a single item for that much money when there's so much more I could buy / do with that money... Which makes me inclinded to go for the gil.

But dang... Defending Ring =\

Last year my little level 5 mule won the level 20 rare/ex xp book. >.> Mog bonanza is fun, though! Would be cool if they would make it so that if any four digits, three digits, two digits, or whatever matched, then you won something instead of only the LAST 4,3,2~ digits matching.
