Mannequins contribute to this moghancement.
I love the storage space, but my question revolves around something else I love...Desynthesis.

I have 2 mannequins and moghancement: light, although the energy isn't very strong. If I buy up more mannequins, I'll get the storage I want, but I'll be getting a stronger light energy.

Will the stronger light energy or even overwhelming energy, affect my desynths?

I have heard that a certain number of light+ energy will get moghancement: goldsmithing. Like 60+ or something.
Can anyone deny or confirm that?

Moghancement light won't do anything for desynthesis, tarutaru stools will thought. If you want the best desynth rates get the mannequins you want then fill your mog with stools. Only the strongest moghancement will be active, so with enough stools you should be able to cancel out the moghancement light.

Also no amount of light energy will give moghancement goldsmithing, only fools gold.

Thank you very much. :)
Does this mean that "light" won't hinder desynths? Or that it won't help?
Either way, I'll do the mannequin thing, and then cram in the stools!!

I'm gonna need a lot of stools. Time to toss out my Christmas Tree. ^^
 
OK, there are two different effects here that often get confused, the Elemental Energy and the Moghancement.

The elemental energy (and strength) of your moghouse depends on the total energy for each of the elements. In your case it sounds like you will have light energy dominant (more total light energy than any other element) because each mannequin adds 6 light, which is quite high.

The moghancement is determined by the strongest item of the dominant element in your MH. Now assuming you have light energy dominant, your Moghancement will be "Moghancement:Light" (Mannequins give this Moghancement) UNLESS you have at least one Mahogony Bed (light element, strength 10, Moghancement:Experience) or Fool's Gold (light element, strength 9, Moghancement:Goldsmithing).

Adding more mannequins will make the light element stronger (helping your light crystal synth's even more) but can't change the Moghancement from Moghancement:Light, because the mannequins actually give this Moghancement.

Moghancement:Light also won't have any effect on your desynths unless there happens to be a desynth that uses light crystals (and I think they're all either Lightning or Wind).

Hopefully that makes sense...

That piece sounds exactly like what I was looking for.
I wanted to add storage, of course, but I didn't want to get lousy desynths as a result of the strong light energy.
 
Reduces the chances of losing materials from a fail when using light crystals.
 
ffxi.somepage.com has a good furniture listing along with what moghancements they give. Might be worth looking up for specifics.
 
lol what sucks about putting all them stool in is that you lossing space unless of course you able to go to your home city alot
 
I probably won't put in the stools. I'm not necessarily trying to boost for desynths, but I didn't want to do something that would get me abysmal desynth results.
 
From my experience, the Moghancement: Desynth can be rather ADD. Sometimes it'll work great, and other times I'll be wondering if those 25+ Tarutaru stools I have clogging my MH are just for show. On the other hand, when I had Moghancement: Earth for CC, I noticed a definite difference in the amount of materials I lost. So the moghancement for desynth seems to just as sketchy as desynthesis itself.

Also of note... Moghancement: Desynth Key Item reads that it increases chance of a successful desynth, while Elemental Moghancement(i.e Earth) say that it reduces the chance of losing materials.

I know that's pretty vague and undefinitive information, but just letting you know how
