Players can buy a ticket for the Jumbo Cactpot once per week for 500 Gil. Players then select four numbers, and each Sunday the winning numbers are drawn. For each day that passes while you have a ticket purchased, the prizes awarded are increased by 2%, so it benefits the player to buy early (on Mondays).

So are these Sundays and Mondays in real time? Or is there a time system in the game where these days pass? This is a very interesting concept as far as how it may have been implemented.

I doubt we will be able to make that happen, which is unfortunate because ALMOST everything we need for it is finished. Paul has been on a hiatus for about a month's time, so our work on maps and other artwork has been minimal. Even the design for the Jumbo Cactpot here is just something I put together quick so it wouldn't be so dull. When he gets back, we'll be able to have nicer stuff. :D

Real-time.

Looking good! The real drawback I can see to having the drawing be real weeks is that I am sure some people will blitz the game and realistically only get one attempt at the Jumbo Cactpot. I understand the reasoning of using real time besides to be authentic to FFXIV, as if it was tied to game time or step/encounter/zone count it could potentially be abused. Will there be ways in-game to get a finite amount of extra attempts? Or is this more just a system for long term players to passively make some gil?

Those who want a more frequent chance to win Gil can always do the Mini-Cactpot, three times per day. :D

Or just cheese it with changing the system timer? Maybe you can think a way around that? Or maybe you already have.

Well, whenever I get to play the updated version it'll be time well worth the wait, considering how phenomenal the last one was!
