Nice. I'm a taru chef princess too :) Cooking 109 yada yada. Just a couple things I'm gonna point out because I'm sure you are interested in getting up your subcrafts.

A) Clothcraft is a ***. But if you want to be able to do things like tier 3 HQ on Truelove Chocolate, or make Humpty Dumpty Eggs you gotta get it to around 52ish. It's a *** *** ***, especially if you try to do it in a way to break even because then it just takes forever.

B) Level Alchemy. It's a great way to make a lot of your own ingredients. Generally, off the wall stuff that nobody synths and theres a high mark-up for. There's also the cheaper & convenience factor.

C) Leathercraft. Needed for tier3 HQs on True Love chocolate, and to make tanks like Persikos tanks (which are awesome and I carry one with me wherever I go) ^^

Also, don't underestimate the value of a Hocho. It allows you to break into new tiers on some pretty popular synths. My personal favorite is using it to put myself into tier 3 for Carbonara.

Fishing, meh, it's a little overrated. Catching the fish you need to make the better priced sushis is more trouble than it's worth. When it comes to sushi, I find it more profitable to synth it for people for a fee.

Moglification. With the introduction of all the nation based furnishings, it's easier to get wind stuff by creating a Green/Windurst themed Mog House. I noticed you are from windy, so that's probably more appealing to you anyways. You should try getting Rank 10 for the Windurst Flag. It's like +10 Wind ^^

That's all I can really think of right now. Congratulations cutie. Nice to see another adorable tarutaru princess in the kitchen :)

Here's my wind-based mog house complete with Moglification: Cooking if you want some ideas. I set mine up as a restaurant with a kitchen and a dining area. The front counter is using the wind-based 3-drawer almirah, and the tables are the green windurstian tables topped off with windurstian tea sets. The sandy bookshelf, green storm lantern, wind lamp, cooking sign, windurst flag, cordon bleu set, hammock, wicker box, Ngoma (Drum), green hobby bo, and some stuff I don't even have placed, all add to the *wind* aura.

Pardon the name smudging, I don't like to be popular or get attention and I forgot to /names off.

As you can see, it's not too difficult to make a mog house with a strong elemental affinity that isn't boring. For example, some people place a lot of the same furniture over and over (generally to minimize the impact on their inventory space). You'll notice I also have some expensive pieces like the Mythril bell (used to represent a large dinner bell), as well as the bronze and crystal flowers (made with relatively expensive ingredients). The dining area also has my Harpsichord. There's plenty of things you can do to add diversity and even a little glamor. I'll be adding a Winged Balance soon.

Oh, I'm equipped with my Hocho & training knife. Of course the Training Knife doesn't add +1, but I like the way it looks with my Hocho. :)

If you needed any ideas, I hope this helps. :)

Thank you thank you :) Back before I got my Moghancement and Moglification furnishings for cooking, I had setup that didn't have any restrictions and was purely based on glamor. It was a really nice and I literally spared no expense. But in reality, it wasn't really that challenging to buy the most expensive things on the Auction House and aesthetically arrange them. Anyone can do that.

So, I decided to try a new approach with a bit of a challenge. Creating a "nice" mog house with a purpose. In this case, to benefit my crafting. When I first set out to do this, there weren't as many wind furnishings, but with the introduction to the colored furniture, this became a lot easier. Really, anyone can do this. Also, in my case, I set mine up to include a diner. My mog house is a combination restaurant/house. Other crafters might want to set theirs up in a similar fashion. I can imagine fisherman having an abundance of fish tanks, alchemists having an abundance of books, papers, and drawers, shelves, etc.

It's a lot of fun :)

The only issue with making a MH that looks good and has a purpose is the elemental values on the moghancement. Moglifications aren't so bad, because the signboards have an aura strength of 10, so as long as you don't put anything of the same element with a greater aura strength, you'll still have your moglification. In Poof's situation, it means she can have any wind-based furniture aside from a green nobles bed and she'll always have it.

If you're trying for any other moghancement, it's generally not so easy. I have 101 lightning aura with moghancement desynthesis, but the highest aura strength desynth item I have is 3, meaning that that 101 aura strength is made up of 48 flower stands with an aura strength of 2, and the dream stocking/platter/chest with desynth lightning aura of 3. The only way I can really reduce the amount of flower stands and keep my moghancement, is to buy a 300k thurible (or more likely buy the ingredients and find a crafter), which would allow me to swap in 1 console for every three flower stands. Still not going to do much in the way of making my MH look good like it once did, but for ~800k I could free up about 30 spaces in my MH...

Aww, thank you :)

I'd like to remind people that this thread isn't about my mog house. Please congratulate Hikuzo on her 100 craft :) I forgot how some people just post where I post. I didn't want to hijack her thread, I just wanted to give her some ideas on a wind-based mog house and what furnishings she could use and that it's possible to make it look really nice.

Yeah, Green Noble's Bed will flip me over to Moghancement: Experience. Aura Strength 20 verses the feeble 11 strength of my Signboard. I wish SE made the sign boards 21.

My objective was a combination of functionality & aesthetics :)
