Mog Bonanza is Back!

idea's for mog bonanza how about spinnet tidal talisiman harpsicord stuffed chocobo moogle/nomad cap moogle/nomad sheilds moogle club

We need tickets with the augment of our choice on sky abjuration.

Please please please give us more chances for Moogle Suits! Its just not fair I want to look super creepy in a subligar to!

A heavy Metal castle lovingly and painstakingly made by Camate out of KupoLego brand bricks. Totals up to 1500.
More synth mats for the new abjuration sets as low rank prizes to encourage more crafters to try and make hq.
Make the Empyrian/mythic/relic prizes from the top rank lv 99 or 95 or possibly even with afterglow since lv 90 for a top ranked ticket is just plain a letdown at this stage compared to how the prizes used to be viewed.

For the final two ranks the player recieves a possible Audolin item of extreme rarity to promote the expansion. I'm presuming you dont want to ruin the surprise of what's in store so I guess have the player not be able to select what the item is, have it based on the job they ask the moogle to get it for and then a version update for the items specifically won a a week or so after.

New people such as myself (i only have 15 days playtime on this character, my old character is forever lost) are totally effing screwed. I was lucky enough to get a flame gem somehow, idr, (most vets in my ls were surprised themselves), which got me 2.5m in the AH. I bought two pieces of armor, a crummy dagger, and some gobbie bag upgrades. Your perception of how the market in FFXI is now compared to pre-abyssea is a little skewed.

Either way, as analhyme stated, the gil prizes = gil raised/winners. It makes sense to charge for the lottery, but the rewards are pretty laugh worthy when you've spent hundreds of thousands on this lottery over the years only to get statues. Now, if I could vendor statues in for 10-50k each, then I'd be really interested.

Because there totally isn't rare EX equipment you can get everywhere fairly easily until you get to being capable of attacking things in your abyssea parties. Nope No-siree. Square enix definitely didn't sprinkle basic useful gear all over the place. And they definitely dont give you money for mission completion, basic GOV fights that you should be doing, or any of the random quests spread about that people have been doing since day one. It's totally harder now.
This in the off chance you haven't figured it out already is sarcasm.
The only thing harder nowadays is trying to convert cruor into gil since that would normaly have easily geared up people into decent stuff.

moogle kupon: finish any started trial
augment kupon: trade with an augmented item=>select augment

Cat's Eye, Old event items that can't be obtained anymore like - Harpsichord or Maestro's Baton, Herald's Gaiters, The top tier of Neo Nyzul gear, Neo Salvage gear, the usual Black Belt items, Maybe even 50 of one of the items needed for the 80 or 85 of an empyrean weapon.

at this point i cant see too much bitching if this were done, most have the access to the content. i think this is a great idea

bring back moogle suits! ppl want a chance to get them again

Because I'm a sore loser, both my accounts have yet to win anything in any event, I think there should be a special tier for those of us that just can't get lucky. :(

After a great deal of thought, I think I would very much like to see crafting torques as part of the prize line-up.

An etheral squama to replace the one I spent 6 hours farming just to lose to that stupid synthesis interupted bs >.<

Whatever you do no tidal talisman! that was a limited edition item that was numbered. if you do, make it a high rank item plox......

A coupon that raises any craft to it's next limit cap (i.e. max 10 level increase upon use).

That will solve the issue of it being entirely unreasonable to level alchemy beyond 100 because of the terrible recipe options.

A coupon that instantly completes a currently active magian trial. Of course put some limit in there, like cannot be used over level 90 trials or something?

Seeing as how Fiat Lux is pretty much an impossibility, I would like it if you could re-add Nocturnus Helm and Nocturnus Mail to the list of items.

How about a Scroll of Mage's Ballad 1? #CheeseSandwich

How about anyone who participates gets a statue/figure that represents the server they're on (example: people on Shiva would get a Shiva Figure; people on Bismark would get a Bismark Figure, etc)? >w>

How about a scroll of Army's Paeon V instead? Can never find people to do the fucking lv75 capped ENMs with >___>

I'd appreciate a coupon (Kupon? :) )that you could exchange for a spell scroll of choice, the better the prize, the higher level the scroll.

It'd be nice to see Phalanx for less than a million on the AH... :(

There's a bunch of scrolls that need to become more accessible. Putting Sneak and Invisible on NPCs are a good sign that the devs may be starting to pay attention.

Wow. Sneak was easymode to get, considering it dropped off newbie mobs.

Was one of my favorites. Casually club a Yagudo Acolyte or Amethyst Quadav, *bang* Sneak scroll. Invisible didn't show up until mid-20's mobs, on the other hand...the reason Phalanx/Utsu: Ni go for so much is the supply is vastly outdone by demand. Drop em into a brown casket pool someplace like Valkrum Dunes, problem solved. And hey, having all those players roving around obliterating the mobs would make subjob items so much easier to come by...

Seriously? You're going to call me out for Sneak being "easymode"? Let me get to my point, then...

Remember when the dungeons were revamped for Grounds of Valor? Most of the mobs that dropped Invisible were removed. All the good mid-20s farming spots simply don't exist anymore. It was a huge oversight on the part of the devs and I'm glad they fixed it.

*nods* I was just comparing what is reasonable vs. what wasn't. Sneak was newbie area fodder, Invisible was a tougher spell to grab and with the GoV changes, more so- but they didn't change areas like Castle Oztroja or Beaudeaux where the mobs were still there and the spells still available. It's still possible to this day to go there and whack a mob for your spell.

Stuff that's dropping off lower level BCNMs only, however....ouch ouch ouch. That's a matter of lower level content that people simply aren't doing much anymore, since the game's gotten increasingly topheavy. Those sorts of spells need to be moved to areas where they're farmable outside BCNMs, whether via adding them to NM drops someplace or a vendor. When it takes finding a trio of people with the seals and the inclination to bother, that's not nearly as common anymore. I agree with you, making spells more available in light of the GoV changes was the right thing to do.

Now, if they'd be so kind as to fix the chest spawns and low-level NM's they left stuck in the middle of L80+ content...was that Moth Axe really so uber you had to surround the chest with IT++ mobs that would make a party seven times your level take it seriously? ^ ^

Anything that involves non-endgame is easymode to everyone here, and that is too most of the time, just a note for later, its why asking for almost any improvement to Abyssea or low levels is met with snarky comments about the game being to easy already.

OK, I changed my mind. I want a Kupon that will instantly promote one job to 99. #CheeseSandwich

Or spend a day in aby...

This Year's list came out. I and everyone who has seen is is baffled so far.
http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/gui...bon/index.html
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
Pulse cells?
Pulse cells?
PULSE CELLS?
You cant even be bothered to give us the proper item anymore?You have to make it harder to even get the item we actually wanted? That's just ridiculous and cruel and looks as if you're outright mocking and/or taunting your players.
Nq salvage2 bodies are also unimpressive compared to the +1 .
Empyrian Armour as rank 2? Really?
That stuff has been considered easy for over a year. At least drop it down a rank or two. Something that can be done in less than a day does not befit a rank 2 prize.
Ridill and sagasinger are being overranked.
The entire list is just.... If i didn't know any better i'd think you guys tried to make the list bad.

I know this is not the first time this happens, but I still don't understand the logic between putting the 10k currency coin on 1st place, together with a kupon that gives you an already completed weapon.
Huh?
Shouldn't currency be put on 2nd place, together with Cat's eye? (i.e. 30k Alex)

Bonanza Kupon EA too looks very out of place, should have been rank 3, no higher than that.

Wyrm Bears Behemoth Tongue
Odin Statue Mass Chalemie
Prouesse Ring Terminus Earring
Liminus Earring Abdhaljs's Honor
Ark Taichi Ark Tabar
Ark Scythe Ark Saber
Ark Sword

Wyrm Bears anyone?

it's almost as if.. you didn't actually read any suggestions (not that it's surprising anymore)

edit: alright, serious time, if we can have
http://i.imgur.com/PThSgx3.png and http://i.imgur.com/QQNKGe8.png,
why can't we have an (ex) 10,000 coin as a rank 2 prize? (also maybe self delivery boxable)

edit2: can you provide us with numbers of people that actually select things from upper rank prizes to know why Ridill keeps making it into rank 1?

Looks like the same list we've had for years with only afew VW items thrown in, rank 1 aren't even 99 weapons. Would have loved to see some really new stuff added to this. Overall I'm disapointed.

It's because you cant mail the relic/mythic weapons to yourself if a mule wins. At least that way you can turn in the currency to do a decent amount of it instead of being stuck with no weapon at all. I do think it would be nice of those dropped to rank 2 but it is fairly unnecessary as well until they put marrows or something into the bonanza.

Bummer, was hoping for HQ hexed gear in there. Those prizes are very unbalanced and for Rank 1 and 2 there's an obvious choice that you'd be crazy not to choose.

Some of the items in ranks don't make sense but then free stuff is free, can't really complain at the end of the day. There's at least 1 good piece in every rank and you can only choose 1 anyway. Might not win but then SE don't have to give us anything at all, I'm just happy they've brought the bonanza back in.

I'm just going to quote Noodles355 from BG, emphasize mine:

Quote:

---

Rank 1 should have cat's eye and HQ ABJ+Honor of choice, and not have ridill/sagasinga.
Rank 2 should have any pulse weapon/armor from voidwatch, all the salvage+1 armor and ALL Nyzul armor, not just the bodies and should not have AF3+2.
Rank 3 should have all the Neo-Salvage armor NQ plan armor, and not just the bodies.
Rank 5 should have the ark weapons.

---

Nocturnus mail and helm, a primeval brew for use anywhere, an item worth 1500 plates, auto reraise gear for jobs other than twilight ones, magian trial stage clear item (single) and for rank 5 prizes weapons for each type that all jobs can wear similar to pitchfork.

Mythic or piece of +2 empryean armour? That's a hard one.

Seriously, the rewards from this are a joke. Rank 1 is fine, but things like Emp Armour, NNI 100 gear, Arise and Meteor should not be in Rank 2 (Meteor is like 2m now, that's nothing).
I agree with the idea of bringing back in Hexed -1 gear, that should be in Rank 2 since -1s are incredibly rare, and if you're gonna put Salvage pieces in there, put the +1 gear in. Nobody cares about the majority of the "new" pieces.

The funny thing about this bonanza is that they asked us what we wanted in it and I can't fathom this completely messed up prize ranking to have come from the playerbase.
