The purpose of this guide is to discuss how Moghancements actually work. This information was developed through the collective efforts of regular posters to the Allakhazam Main FFXI Forum.

HOW MOGHANCEMENTS WORK

Every item of furniture is associated to one element (fire, earth, water, wind, ice, thunder, light, dark). The element can be seen when viewing the furniture - it appears in the lower right using the same icons as used for elemental weather.

Every item of furniture also has a Moghancement associated with it. Although the element of the furniture will indicate some possible moghancements you will get, use the Furniture list below if you looking for a particular Moghancement.

The elemental strength of different types of furniture can vary from weak to strong. For example, the elemental strength of a flower pot is weaker than that of a bronze bed. In our research, we measured the elemental strength of each type of furniture against the weakest known furniture items - Rusty Buckets and Flowerpots (except porcelain). In the list below, the elemental strengths listed are relative to the Rusty Bucket/Flowerpot elemental strength of 1.

You can only have one Moghancement at a time. Which one you gets depends on which element is dominant in your furniture layout. To determine which element is dominant, add up elemental strength of each item of furniture (earth+2 is twice as strong as wind+1).

If no element is dominant in your layout, you will get no Moghancement effect. For example, if you have 2 flower pots and 1 flower stand in your house, the elemental effects are of equal strength and you get no Moghancement.

As almost all players have already noted, it is a very lengthy process to obtain gil in Final Fantasy XI. There are, however, some quests which allow you to take "shortcuts" in the gil making process. Before you go any further in this guide, it is advisable that you obtain Level 4 fame in Bastok, Windurst, San d'Oria and Norg. If you are unsure how to do this, take a look at Tekkub's fame guide, located here.

The following guide is divided up into 3 short sections. A Ninja section, which you will want to avoid if you plan on leveling Ninja, a White Mage section, which you will want to avoid if you plan on taking White Mage to 36, and a Black Mage section, which you will want to avoid if you plan on leveling Black Mage. Please note, that it is advised to use silent oils/prism powders for several of the quests detailed here.

-Note: As I play on the Phoenix server, all prices listed are based on that AH, actual prices on your server may vary-

Ninja

----------

When starting the Ninja quests, you will need rank 4 (or so) fame in Norg. This is easily obtained by doing either the Shady Business quest in Port Bastok or the Mihgo's Amigos quest in Windurst Woods. You will need about 200 Yagudo Necklaces or 100 Zinc Ores to get to the required amount of fame.

Once you have obtained the proper amount of fame, travel to Norg (Jeuno > Kazham > Yuhtunga Jungle > Sea Serpent Grotto > Norg) and look for the following people: Keal, Heiji, Shivivi, Washu, and Laisrean. These five people will give you the money making quests in Norg.

-Many of these quests require leaving Norg and then coming back, so it is recommended that you set your Home Point in Norg-

Let's get started, first off the stats for this hat. Accuracy +10 Ranged Accuracy +10 Evasion +10
Level 70 [Head] All Races Rare/Ex

This fugly looking hat is sought after by all melee jobs. Obtaining this hat is by far an easy task. First off, you will need to hunt down 5 different Hakutaku eyes, which are located throughout the world. The eyes are not 100% drops and eyes range from level 50 to 75. These eyes cannot be purchased from AH, but can be purchased via bazaars ranging in price from 9K to 200K depending on the eye. Once all the eyes have been obtained you will need to fight a high level alchemist to craft them into a Hakutaku Eye Cluster. This cluster sells for 800K-1.5 mil sometimes in bazaars. With this cluster, you will now be able to spawn Hakutaku in Den of Rancor. Once you kill this NM, optical hat will be yours. The hat is a 100% drop.

The mobs that drop the eyes are black mage type mobs. They will cast spikes, -ga spells and ancient spells. There level range is 50-75 and are can be taken down with a decent PT setup. The drop rate for the eyes isn't too bad, an average of 1 eye per hr.

Golden Hakutaku Eye - This is located in Sea Serpent Grotto behind the Ornament Door. To get to the door, hug the left wall once you get into SSG. To get behind this door, you will need a Sahagin Key. This key can only be obtained via a separate quest in Norg. For details on the quest, http://www.koolaid-ffxi.org/linkshell/space/The+Sahagin+Key The key can only be used once, so you will need to get a key each time. the Golden Hakutaku Eye is dropped off Mindgazer. It's a level 65-70 mob and is surrounded by Sahagin's which link very easily. If you don't feel like completing the quest, it is possible to pull 1 Mindgazer. If you continue to hug the left wall, past the ornament door. You will reach a fishing pond. If you look up, 1 mindgazer spawns on the cliff. You can pull it down and kill, the spawn cycle is 15min.

So you're a Final Fantasy fan and you've played all the games in the series. You loved "Final Fantasy VII," cried at the end of "Final Fantasy X," and the portable versions of "Final Fantasy I-VI" saved you on many a field trip and business meeting. Now you feel like it's time to involve yourself in "Final Fantasy XI," the online installment of the franchise. But hold on one second: You might not be ready for this game.

Unlike the other installments of the series where the games were easy to pick up and play, "Final Fantasy XI" requires patience just to get the darn thing started. Therefore I've set up this guide to let you know how to start your journey into Square-Enix's massive online world. This guide will act not only as a way to give you an idea of whether this game is right for you, but also how to set it up should you decide to go for it.

The first thing you need to do is buy the game itself. Ironically, this is one of the most difficult things to do. Since it's introduction in 2001 "Final Fantasy XI" has not only grown to be one of the key online games of the market, but it has had several expansion packs released in it's name. Granted, since then Square-Enix has graciously been selling all the expansions and such in one affordable bundle, but you absolutely NEED the original core game or none of these expansion packs will work! Since the games are now very cheap I recommend just buying all of them at once. Don't worry about the cost too much: Overall these disks will cost you less then $40 bucks.
