Mog Houses & Shops (with more!)

[normalforce]

In keeping with the Lore... Add a really long winded (many parts) quest where you learn more about moogles, and eventually save one that befriends you. Thus adding a reason why a rare moogle would want to live/work with you.

How about some combination of the above? Your retainer still maintains your house with the moogle visiting often. When you log in, instead of your retainer greeting you, you get something like this...

Retainer: "Thank Azeyma you're here. That moogle just keeps spinning. Did you break it?"
Retainer: "I refuse to clean up the mess that thing makes once it stops twirling."
Retainer: "I think I'm getting sick watching it..."

It didn't occur to me that the retainer could be used that way. So instead of taking it away, its primary service already available could be relocated as the care-taker of the Mog House. Mogs would handle the mail as they have for the last 10+ years.

In response to Cendres asking to keep these ideas to one thread, and with this thread with the highest reply count, I'll consolidate some of my ideas here...

When the Bestiary comes about, , a wall dedicated to all the monster posters would be nice. Which would fit in nicely near the wall of trophies. What a great visual representation of everything that you've accomplished in the game.

I'd love to see the initial "house" we get start out as a rundown ruined shack. Where calling it a hovel would be a complement and we can only one day hope of upgrading to that. Then through a series of quests and other renovations, the place expands and becomes a place you would want to bring people over to.

Once the place has improved to the point that your retainer isn't afraid of stepping foot inside, more quests are involved that increase his/her inventory space and how much can be sold via the Auction counter.

Great ideas! Once I read it, I couldn't stop thinking about the possibilities, so I blame you for this, Nharil.

Structures:
Every LS house starts with a main hall, your basic of basic structures. Guild leader selects the main hall from a list of options of varying materials and architecture types. Then, once the main hall has been built, more options become available.

For the DoH:

• Kitchen
• Forge (Covers both Blacksmith and Armorers)
• Woodshop
• Gemmary
• Leather Workshop
• Alchemy Workshop

Building these will grant LS members access to common crafting support. Each can be upgraded twice, each upgrade allowing for additional support. Namely, Guild and Master.

For the DoL:

• Garden
• Pond/Aquarium
• Archaeology

I first saw a Pond/Aquarium and Archaeology being suggested here by Lienn and I just thought they were wonderful ideas. Fishers cultivate and catch rare fish, Miners could search for and discover lost relics (that hold some level of importance, from activating LS wide quests or just for selling to fill the LS coffers), and Botanist tend the gardens, harvesting rare and useful materials.


Other Structures:

• LS Safe/Bank - (Upgradeable to hold more items)
• Trophy Room - Visual representation of achievements the LS has earned together
• Chocobo Stables
• Locker Room - (Private storage for Individual LS members)
• Second Floor
• Basement

And the most important structures...:

• Boat Dock
• Boat
• Airship Dock
• Airship

That doesn't even cover all the armaments and other decided needed to build a sturdy, durable, offensively powerful boat or airship.

Maybe some LS currency for work rendered in the name of the LS to be used to purchase items and gears in the bank?

I agree Kafeen which is why I thought the idea about a moogle carrying mail wouldn't fit the lore and suggested something that is still "interactive" with the scenery but doesn't pull away from the lore of XIV's world.

HQ +3 to this post.

I think the biggest let down when I first loaded into the game was not having a moghouse. I loved being able to garden decorate my pad etc, gave a nice breather from whatever i was doing in game. I would take it one small step further...

If SE really wants to keep wards...combine the mog shop idea+ mog house+ ward tool, and wards is just a UI pane of each players house shop that prompts when an item is found etc. That would certainly add some color to wards and let people show off their pad(house decor, trophies,customized mogs etc).

I absolutely love this post and completely support the addition of MH and AH. I would love them to reinstate 11's system with some better additions that have been mentioned in this post.

Just play FFXI if you want MH.....

They will not care about our ideas, i'm afraid.

No they care, it's just going to them to 2020 to implement them, that's all.

MH is just the general refrence, i dont think anyone of us "Wanting" this really care if its
called "Housing" or something else...if the Moogle has been replaced or not.

We want our own personal housing / Storage area, where we can rearrange furniture,
change the hjousing decorations & place them where we like. (even if it means LS / Company Housing)
Just like in FFXI, bringing more craft-recipes around, up the economy...etc

Besides...There's more than one moogle in the game.
