Return of the Mog Bonanza

So, as promised, SE brings us the Mog Bonanza once again to commemorate the 7th anniversary of FFXI. Hard to believe it's been almost seven years since the game went live in Japan. That's longer than most marriages last these days.

The Rank 1 list looks virtually identical to last year's minus the HQ abjuration bodies (most of those are ass save Shura +1 and blurple-berk anyway). Wait, what the hell is Joyeuse doing in Rank 2!? Yeah I know it's a great weapon for those that can use it, but a slew of other options present themselves. I like how they just added coupons for the iceland AF2 pieces. Would've been cooler if those coupons could be traded in for their +1 counterparts. Yeah, I know, fat chance. Also, thank God they're offering more than just a lousy exp scroll for rank 5.

Here's what I'd see myself getting.

Rank 1: I'd take the money, though I'll be damned if I know how to spend close to 100 mil (which is what it may come out to, or even more with everyone and their mother buying marbles). Well, it would cover the cost of alexandrite for a Tizona, but then there's all the other legwork involved. I'd likely dump it into power leveling a craft. I'd likely just buy off all my desired non-rare/ex gear first THEN go from there.

Maybe a Morrigan's robe since I have zero inclination to set foot in a salvage zone given the horror stories I've heard about the microscopic drop rates down there.

Rank 2: My gut tells me homam corazza.

Rank 3: Homam cosciales or the cash if it's a substantial amount. I'm not about to contribute to the goddamn hauteclaire population. Come June, we'll see another swell of those in the next iteration of the "Gimp/confused/wtf" topic on BG.

Rank 4 & 5: Damned if I know. Probably a behemoth hide or khroma ore. I'll just hang onto it until the prices go back up again after the market becomes saturated like with behemoth hides last year.

Last year I only got maybe 3 or 4 exp scrolls if I remember right.
