Gaea said: well granted i literally have only like 16% of a 1% chance to win (less than two tenths of 1%), I figured I'd probably at least make my money back.
Basically, I guaranteed myself a rank 4 prize. All of my marbles were randomly generated by the moogle, however, for the first 100, I skipped numbers that ended in two digits that I already had.
In other words, my first 100 marbles, were randomed from the moogle and marked off on a sheet of paper until I got 00-99. If I got a repeat of what I already had, I had the moogle try again.
After that, my other 60 marbles were simply taking the first 10 randomly generated numbers the moogle gave me for each mule.
omg i wish i thought of that. ._. otherwise i did what you did with 160 marbles. gil is so hard to come by i figured wth i can shell out a little extra money for additional mules for two months. i usually only have 4 chars.

Yeah, apparently when I was talking about my 160 marbles, today, with friends on my server, I reminded them to get theirs. That's where I got the idea for the thread. Be sure to remind everyone you know as well. thx bought 20 marbles xD 10 main/ 10 mule

Roughly 90, mostly random, some select numbers chosen because I would kick myself if they won (ie my birthday).
Gogo birthdays expressable as 5 digit numbers!

I bought 20. 10 for me and 10 for my mule. I made each last number different for both characters, so at least they will both get a cool statue. ^^ I want the dragon one!

If only one was rolled, you have a chance to get Rank 1 clocking it at... 1/100000. However, you have 10...
1/10000. And they roll how many numbers? If that is also 10, then it's a 1/1000 of getting rank 1 :D
Here's to them rolling 0!

; ; sorry
I ran out and got my marbles the first week, I had a ton to buy. Thank god they made it so lv 1's can buy now instead of Lv 5's only. SE got a little smarter with that, allowed my crafting midgets to buy more marbles with crap random numbers after the first 100. Ya, guaranteed rank 4, money back at the least...
Just a reminder. Go buy your marbles. If anyone of you tier 1 winners wanna help me fund my mythic, please send me a PM. Haha, seriously though, don't forget. If you wanted to buy marbles, DO IT NOW. If you wanted to buy more marbles for some mules, you are running out of time, as well. Also, if you are bored, post how many Bonanza Marbles you purchased. I bought 160. 10 for each one of my 16 characters. I only play Odin.Gaea, though. The other 15 are mules. [ * ] I'm rounding down. It's actually about 10 and half hours at the time of this posting which was almost a half hour after midnight EST.Playonline Information said: Locations & Limitations
Up to 10 Mog Bonanza marbles can be purchased per character. Only characters for whom 45 days or more has passed since creation can purchase bonanza marbles. Purchase your Mog Bonanza marbles, check winning numbers, and collect prizes from Bonanza Moogles at:
· Port Windurst (F-6)
· Port San d'Oria (I-9)
· Port Bastok (L-8)
· Port Jeuno (J-8) via Chocobo Circuit* (H-8)
· Aht Urhgan Whitegate at (G-6) via Chocobo Circuit* (H-8)
Price: 2000 gil per marble.
Event Schedule:
· 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).
[ * ] You can actually access it from the Chocobo Circuit in any of the starter nations or Aht Urghan Whitegate, yet this is the one that's most useful as many people don't want to have to take their mules all the way back to the starter nation to buy more marbles.
