What's “Mog Bonanza”?
Final Fantasy XI's 6th anniversary is just around the corner, and to celebrate this happiest of occasions, the Mog House Management Union (MHMU) has decided to hold the very first Mog Bonanza event, kupo! We moogles have spared no effort to ensure that this inaugural event is a runaway success, with the prizes prepared bound to have even the most appallingly affluent adventurers drooling uncontrollably, kupo! This is the chance to turn your Vana'dielian dreams into reality and become the envy of all fellow adventurers by winning stupendous amounts of gil, or super-rare items of legend like the Kraken Club...and more!


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.
Rank 2 prize: last four digits.
Rank 3 prize: last three digits.
Rank 4 prize: last two digits.
Rank 5 prize: last digit.

*1
Up to 10 Mog Bonanza marbles can be purchased per character level 5 or above. You can have the same number inscribed on multiple marbles. This will mean bigger earnings should you have a winning number, kupo.

*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), kupo.

Ok. I need to get on this ASAP.

[Panthera]

Not bad chances.

[Holiday]

Holy crap!

Well I can't pass this up, the character is being reactivated to dance with lady luck.

[KIllrazor]

Damn! This is so cool! Even the lower ranks prizes are awesome. I just don't know what Miratete's Memoirs is though.

It's a rare/ex item that gives you xp when used (between 750-1500 xp).

I can't get over how amazing some of that stuff is. Man, I want a Morrigan's Robe (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Morrigan's_Robe)........

[KIllrazor]

Oh, that's also cool. I'd be happy with any of that stuff. :)

I can't justify any of the Rank 1 items. 100 Million gil is pretty much freedom from farming forever. I'm not the type to start buying crazy +1 versions, and I don't have any interest in a Speed Belt or Kraken Club.

Rank 2 I'd take the Velocious Belt, although I wouldn't be all that excited about it until I got something other than PLD high enough to use it. The only item on there than really catches my eye is the Hauteclaire in Rank 3, which would be damn nice for me. Rank 4 I'd just take the Behemoth Hide and put it on the AH, although the odds of getting that are pretty decent, so the value might drop if a lot of people manage to win in that category.

I think I'd just go for the money on any level if I really thought about it.

I love this (http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/):
100,000,000 gil.


No, that wasn't a typo.


One hundred million gil.


I think one of the devs has seen Austin Powers a few too many times.


With that much gil you could buy Bastok.


Or something good.

[oldschooldimo]

hahaha wow 100 million gil... thats just insane. im sure whoever wins that is gonna either have a heart attack or crap in their pants.

[Ageli]

Holy crap... I want a Black Belt :Q_ I really need to get back into this game really soon so I can enter. Lol, the page for this is like a fairy tale. "All your dreams will come true..."

[Gorvi]

REMINDER: This is the last day really to get your Bonanza Marbles for the lotto, as the event ends tomorrow. Get to it and good luck! :)

[Spigot]

Gah! Where do you get the marbles again? I didn't notice any the last time I was ingame, but I didn't look particularly hard.

[Panthera]

Crap, I didn't know this had started.

[JediSanf]

So what was your strategy for picking your numbers?

[Gorvi]

Since you're in Windurst, there's a Moogle NPC called a Bonanza Moogle (or something like that) in Port Windurst at F-6. They're 1k each and you can buy up to 10 of them.

I just let the moogle pick for me.

Really no 00, 01, 02 system across mules to guarantee a rank 4 win? You must have taken [GM]Dave's post to heart.

Nah, I didn't bother. Between my wife and I we'll have 120 marbles (1 main and 5 mules each). I'm sure we'll get something. :p
Oh crap. Looks like I'm not getting any. I'm a long way from 1K gil...
I'll throw ya 10k if you really need it. ;)

[Spigot]

I'll throw ya 10k if you really need it. ;)
Hey, if you're serious, I'll hop in tonight around 8-8:30pm EST and take you up on this offer. I've only got a couple hundred gil from my conquests and would love to take part in the marble fest.

Sure. It's only 10k, really. I make more than that in crystal drops from a merit party. I'm logged out in Windy anyway.

Elite jerk :)

I'm excited when I have about 200 gil in my pocket.

Oh, man, do we ever need to talk about how to properly use the Auction House. :p You can make 1k just buying items from NPCs and selling them on the AH because people are too lazy to actually hunt those NPCs down.

[Spigot]

Wow, the PlayOnline service is running REALLY slowly tonight. I bet it's because of the mad rush for marbles.

I'm logged in but not actually on right now. Let me know if you get on, I'll be up for a few hours more tonight.

[Virtual Machine]

I have 4 gil! Awesome!

[Spigot]

I'm logged in but not actually on right now. Let me know if you get on, I'll be up for a few hours more tonight.Bah. The FFXI button didn't even show up on Playonline until sometime after 10EST. I did go in and made my way down to Port Windhurst but then I had to go to work :(

Ah well. I should have paid attention to this. I thought it was starting soon, not ending today. Gah.

My luck I'd win the 300 million Gil and then never log in again :P

[Panthera]

Well, I bought my ten marbles last night. I can't shake the feeling I've bought 750-1500 xp for the price of 10k - just under half my gil. Wish I could sell the memoirs. :p
