    Only to the point of getting ice energy as the strongest element. If, like you, you have nothing in your MH other than the fleece, that's good enough. But many of us like to display things! Mannequins, flags, event stuff, whatever. That's the time when we need to add the beds and stuff with the ice energy.

    ^ exactly. You need enough ice to overcome mannequins which have pretty strong light if you want the leathercraft skill. I also like to have 80 storage and mannequins are the best way to get to that number.

    I think he's asking whether or not it's worth it to boost the ice energy even though we use earth crystals for pretty much all of our big synths.

    The reason I'm looking to boost my ice energy is to maintain the "Moghancement: Leathercraft Skill."

    I've always been a little hazy on the moghancements though, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong =P

    i'm certainly no authority on moghancements either, but i don't believe the energy has anything to do with the type of crystal used except for the moghancements which concern that element, i.e.

    http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Moghancement:_Earth
    http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Moghancement:_Ice

    This is helpful when you're leveling a craft and using a lot of Ice Crystals. When you fail, you will have a greater chance of not losing your materials. The stronger this Moghancement is, the less you will lose overall. See Moghancements for more information.
    I also don't know how the strength (faint/strong/overwhelming) plays into skill moghancements. I always figured for the +skill ones, it was either that it was on or off (+1 or not). From the moghancement wiki entry:

    Finally, furniture will give your moogle special powers, based on the type of furniture you have in your Mog House, and how strong the elemental aura in your house is. These powers are called Moghancements.
    That probably applies to the other ones (xp loss, element, conquest, etc.). Please feel free to correct me if anyone has more info, I have always wondered this myself; I always went by what logically makes sense, and never tested it.

    That's what I understood as well. As soon as ice is your strongest element, you get that 'moghancement:leathercraft' key item. Let light or fire be strongest and you'll get moghancement:light or whatever.

    Re: LC / Ice Energy+

    Thank you all for the kind replies. I used to have a pretty decked out lil' mog house until i got my fleece: royal bed, aquariums, stuff like that. So I wasn't too keen on the idea of filling it w/ tarutaru screens and beds just for some extra storage space, and decking it out w/ items like that in the layout kinda makes me feel like my mog house turned into a rent-a-room. So decorating it is kind of annoying now. But I guess it's something to consider. Thanks much^^;
