Furniture- who uses it?Follow

I bought stuff for at least 10k a week ago. But I haven't had the time to go to my home town to use the furniture yet :/

This showed up in another thread....the storage seems to be for displacing the space you would lose in your mogsafe to furniture. Basically so you don't lose anything if you have furniture. Like I have 2 flowerpots, they take up two spaces in my mogsafe, so I have 2 slots of storage. If I had 3 flower pots, I would have 3 slots of storage, but 3 slots taken up in my mogsafe.

I think it makes sense, so people can have nice furniture in their house and not be penalized for it. That's all it is though, as far as I can tell, a nicety.

I bought myself a bed, a desk, a tarutaru footstool, two book holders, and a chest / bookcase looking thing. I'm still hunting for a Tarutaru desk, but really it's all there to make home feel a little more homey. I love it, even though it lags like nuts (I'm also in the Bastok moghouse) and cost me an arm and a leg in total.

you can also use it to separate out armor for diff jobs or for items you dont use that much. like 99 beastmen seals or something.

I mostly only use furniture for plants. :)

However, I have used a few furniture items for quests; the Bronze Bed (moogle safe) or the Stationary Set (Bard scroll, Scop's Operetta), for example.

As well, Windurstian Tea Set, to raise my cooking skill while i'm cooking in my Mog House.

Do you know how much of a raise to cooking this is? Also do you know if the Tableware Set, from earlier in the Rycharde the Chef quest series raises cooking skill to a lesser degree?

I have the Tableware Set know and am planning to get the Tea Set when the quest unlocks (I need more fame I think). There are some recipes I would prefer to make in my mog house (pet biscuits, ugh).

This is an RPG not The Sims. I find it a complete waste of precious gill to spend on furniture. You need to save all your money to buy the best possible equipment. And then of course when you want to do another job you usuually have to buy a whole set of new equipment.

I have a simple bed, maple table, workbench, 3 flower pots, Bookholder, rusty bucket, water jug, yellow jar and a painting in mine so far. I plan to fully outfit it. My GF put an armor box in hers and it added 3 storage spaces. She even tried removing and putting back in to test it and again it added 3 spaces.


On a side note :

Anyone know a good place for recipes for all the furniture? I have seen people make armor boxes, but they wouldn't tell me or maybe didn't understand me.

I've seen a few recipes on this site but none of the higher lvl stuff.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

There's no way to rotate furnature, is there?

halfway, exactly! this game has so many different features to explore, furniture is just one of the wonderful facets to this richly detailed game. People who disparage these features like furniture or crafting are missing out. That's not to say they are any worse because they choose not to explore everything the game has to offer. FFXI functions just as well as a hack-slash-level grind, and is still a good game if that's all you choose to do.


NUMPAD [-] (minus) will rotate furniture while placing it in Layout.

I love my furniture! My other friends use the beds for the quest then sell them again but I still have my good ole bronze bed. I also still have "Ancient Blood" hanging on my wall, a book holder, a workbench, my stationary set, and 8 flower pots.

I really wouldn't put Beastmen seals in storage as you turn them in in Jeuno... Once we were going to do a BCNM and our friend volunteered to turn them in. Just before leaving he said, "Um, I have to go to Windurst, they're in storage." ><

you autosort the mog safe the same way to autosort your inventory(or at least how i do it)

just have an item in your mog safe highlighted, and in the top-right corner of your screen it says sort auto/sort manual

Aren't the Sims the perfect example of an RPG?
