Sword for DNC does sound fun. DNC is a great job that got limited in Odyssey due to no slashing then turbo charged into Sortie.
The shield for WAR Warcry seems like a solid option as well.

It is neat but it only works for the warrior itself and you have to swap weapons for it so...it's an improvement, but a rather small one. I'm assuming the 25% is based on the base duration, not the enhanced duration...which means you'd have +7 seconds of duration on Warcry

I did not know it was WAR only, definitely devalues it.
Yeah it only affects buffs used by the user on the user. It's still good, also extends things like Sentinel, Fealty, Saboteur, Killer Instinct what have you... just not gamebreaking. I'd still rate it in the top 3 personally
So rank 2, can send POL wyrmseeker of aruehat and balharns eyepatch... is that new or is it new to rank2? That seems like a nice choice if its on a mule, skip that completely.
Ichor isnt bad to get.

Seems to be the best option if a mule gets it, skip a long slog of 15 to 20 hours or an omen body.. guess they could be comparable if you farm the body but it can be bought too whereas tokens not so much

Its the first time I see about those in Bonanxa, but I havent checked it in a year or two.
Potentially saving lots of hours of dumb grinding, but one point to consider is if you have mules and want them to have near at same level in gear (same number of mythics): then its value gets deflated as you arent actually skipping one turn of grind
Ok, hear me out.

15-20 hours is nice, but the rest of the grind keeps that from feeling like a reward. Pre-AG stage REMA would have been a nice add here since bonanza weapons already occupy the top tier.

Yeah, Rank 2 is so awkward. I got a Rank 2 on a $1 storage mule for an alt. This character is also my Nyzule Isle elevator ***, so he has 300k tokens. I'm thinking of picking Contemplator+1 for RDM because it's dboxable ...and to avoid the stress of farming Tumult Curator.
If this character was really new, I'd just pick a Shamash Robe because of much mileage you can get out of that body on a newer character.
I really wish SE would make the Bonanza Rewards more interesting, even with Gold/Rainbow mog pells.

I picked the same thing when I won rank 2. Omen/Escha/Unity are all solid choices, especially if you want something from an NM you can't farm easily.

If you have 4+ chars, you could drop that one from nyzul farming and increase tokens per run.
If you are 2-3 chars, you could have them spend their tokens to teleport to 96

Best rank2 prize is obviously cat's eye just because you save 302 inventory slots.

302 inventory slots on a character that's likely a random AMAN trove mule, or storing random abjurations, and highly unlikely to actually see any real play. Who's playing a second character on the same account as your main? Why are you like this?

Won rank 2 two bonanza's in a row on one of the dollar mules... mind you that is after too many characters went years and years without even a rank 3 under the "old" system. (5 numbers)
Man bonanza pearl number sounds like the new crafting direction.
I think the first bonanza was glitched. I dont remember the bug exactly, but i think it involved letting the game pick your numbers.
Anyways, the fact SE can pool the numbers picked, they can easily select the lowest the numbers that will have the least amount of winners under every reward.
Is a live drawing really a tall order? Can they fake that? Of course, but faking the 2 minute live drawing to get the numbers they want would be a lot more effort.

Really?
Is there a read on this? i did not know this little fact and as always I am highly curioues.

What's the difference if you pick the numbers and the game acknowledges it (aka keeps a record/inscribes it on the actual marble)? Why wouldn't they also be able to query those numbers and do what you suggest?
I don't think there's any way they can do a completely transparent drawing where everyone is confident there isn't any underhanded tactics manipulating the result behind the scenes. I mean, it does make sense from a video game perspective to limit rewards anyways, so I don't disagree that might totally be a possibility. I just don't think there's any way to build complete confidence in the system.
I cant find a source
I dont think SE publicized it, but the players discovered that game picked numbers were always EOEOE or vice versa (even/odd). I think it only affected ps2 players to boot.

One bonanza I played 239-240 on 5 accounts and won 5 Rank 2 prizes. In the older bonanza, I know someone who played their kid's birthday and got 3 cat's eyes. :shrug:
