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.

A Concentrated Offensive.
Rahal, that miserable miser...
How long does he think to delay the dispatchment of kingdom forces to strike down the Orcish threat?
From whence did the throne's coffers take precedence over the safety of our citizens?
With the winnings, I shall restore the order of knights to their former glory, and--
What? Bonanza numbers!?
......
A concentrated offensive is the most fundamental military strategy! Ten marbles for number 11111 shall be my pick!

Bigger Net = More Fish.
I'm only interested in playing because revenue from the Mog Bonanza is supposed to go towards Mog House maintenance and improvement. You could say it's my little way of showing support to all the tireless young adventurers out there. But of course, I don't intend to just make up the numbers--no pun intended, heheh. My calculations have shown that consecutive numbers will maximize one's chances, so that's how I'll be picking my ten.
On top of that, I'm forming a syndicate with nine trustworthy friends from the Metalworks, which means we'll have all possible combinations covered for the last two digits. After all, a bigger net catches more fish!

Let the Moogle Manage.
Wealth not obtained through one's own hard work is meaningless.
That is why your so-called Mog Bonanza fails to capture my interest.
But, if I were to play like those gil-starved adventurers.
I'd simply have you, the moogle, pick my ten numbers.
What's that, you ask?
What if the numbers should be off the mark?
I'd be full of pity for you.
Because it's me that you'll have to answer to!
Ohohohohoho!
Tarutaru lady, mage. Port Windurst (F-6)

Leave Fortune to Fate.
I've been waiting a long time for something exciting like this to come along.
I doubt a young whippersnapper like you will understand, but when you get to my age and have seen all there is to see, nothing really gets your heart pumping anymore.
What? Want to know how I'll pick my numbers, eh?
Actually, I intend to pick only one. I don't know what that number is yet, but I'm sure it'll reveal itself when it's good and ready. The rest I leave to fate.
I have a feeling a lot of young'uns looking for ways to better their chances won't be satisfied with my answer.
Sorry to disappoint! Heh heh heh…

100m
10m
7eyes
hide
xp!!!!!!!!!

[Tavalin]

Their prize bands are dumb. 100mil or an item worth 8-30mil, 10mil or Xarca af2/speed belt, 1mil or Glacier af2, 100k or b. hide? wtf lol

[Arthars]

there isnt anything else ingame worth the gil balance in every category anyway. gils is prolly the best of all. But if they put in a hauby +1 in, for example, rank 3 which is 10 mil, you will still pick gils anyway. so they just toss in an ra ex item for you to choose, for fun, yet relavant.

a good example will be rank 4: everyone will pick behemoth hide anyway! theres too lil low reward ra ex to be given, and they did their best with bounding and empress pin

[Arthars]

anyway, dont plan so much on which to choose yada yada

its 0.001% to get 100m(for each marble) and 0.01% to get 10m

just aim for XP scrolls or behemoth hides lol

let lady luck decide the rest for u

[Tavalin]

Your math seems a bit out. There should be 10 ^ 5 combinations and assuming you're only taking about 1 char(who can get a max of 10 tickets and each ticket is unique) that's a 10/100,000 chance, 1 in 10,000 (0.0001) for prize 1 and 1/10,000 (0.001) for prize 2.

[Arthars]

1 marble in 100000 = 1/100000 = 0.00001 = 0.001% btw -_-

obviously 10 marbles is x10 lol

i dont care how many chrs and how many each can buy, im only talking about EACH MARBLE w

read my post carefully and then compare to what u posted. you just did a similar math.
except you did 10 marbles for 1 char and i am only stating the probability for 1 marble.
and i convert into % and you didnt

but what you meant is what i meant tav LOL

that's a 10/100,000 chance, 1 in 10,000 (0.0001) for prize 1 and 1/10,000 (0.001) for prize 2.

a 10/100,000 chance = 1 in 10,000 (0.0001) for prize 1 = 0.01% for 10 marbles. so 1 marble is 0.001%(same as what i stated lol)

[Mosh]

When I win the XP scroll, my SMN is going to love it

[Amonet]

First.. OMG you are arguing over MATH!!!!!

Second.. to Redice... here's your chance to shine!! Aren't you the odds/gambling king? Forecasting my exact due date and time?

gogogo! 100mil!!

and if you should win on Amo's tickets, we share 50/50.. ok? thx!

[RedIce]

I'll pay you back the 10k I used to gamble with

[Kirakun]

Get 10 mules with 10 tickets to guarantee at least a Rank4 prize. Or take a chance and split those 10 up in half and decrease chances to win Rank4 to 50% and win twice lol. Or split it again and make 25% win x4 yadda yadda .. zzz

[Cett]

either way we all know i'm going to be the only one not to win the rank 1 prize so stfu!

[RedIce]

pretty sure almost everyone is not going to win rank1

[Arthars]

gota lvl up my 10 IDs on arth gades and yumi and go for a shot at 10% rank 3 >.>
