Give a Moogle a Break  

After you give the Moogle the power bow and beetle ring, do you ever get them back?
I'm asking because the bow in particular is kind of pricy on my server, and I try to be frugal with my gil.

I have 70 unique quests completed and still can't get mog house #2 with the mahogany bed. I've heard rumors that your nation has to be 1st in conquest ratings in order for the quest to activate. Can anyone refute or support this?

how big is the expansion?

To get the Mog House Expansion 1 to work:

First...
Get the following items...
[Legend: k = thousand Example: 1k is 1000 Gil]

Bronze Bed. (5-20k in Auction House.)
Power Bow. (10-20k in Auction House.)
Beetle Ring. (1-5k in Auction House.)

It's better to get all of the items so nothing would be missing. But if you want to get the quest started, get the Bronze Bed first, thats what initiates it.

When you have the Bronze Bed, set it up in your Mog House. Thru Layout. To do this, just put it in your Mog Safe first then select Layout in your Mog House Menu, and set it up. For those who played the Sims, you'll love this. Anyway...the Bronze Bed MUST be already set up in your Mog House before the Tally hits. The other items can be in your Inv or Safe, or whatever.

Next, once you got whatever that is needed. Wait for the Week's Tally to begin concluding. You can check to see how long there is until the next Tally, under Region Information in your Menu. 1 Gameday = 1 Hour. Usually the Tally is on Sundays PST-EST time. I dont know about out of this country so dont ask. Anyway, you need to log on before the Tally and wait for it, once the tally has begun which is said as an announcement in your chatbox, rush into your Mog House and speak to your mog. A Cut Scene will commence. You have the quest started then, good! Give him all the items he needs then he'll thank you. After that, he will leave for a few days. I do not know exactly when he will return but Im sure it'll be within 7-8 hours max. So go out and do stuff, log off and live your life and come back later. When you return, he'll magically tell you that he returns gives your expansion. Then you go "Yay!" and live happily ever after until you groan about getting another expansion and for if that is the case, I don't know so fug off. Dun bug me. >.<

The storage option added in the patch is NOT what you think. It only gives you back slots used up by furniture. So adding any sort of chest to your house will only give you 1 more spot open in the storage.... which the chest is using in your bank!

As long as the bronze bed has been setup in your own hometown Mog house when the conquest recount happens and you have enough fame, you will trigger the quest. I had a rent-a-room and was in Jeuno at the time of the recount. When I went home and reset my Mog house location, Moogle wanted a vacation.

My fame is at the "chatting about you over dinner" stage or ~80 quests in Windurst (and similar quest count for San Doria, but little else outside SD & Windurst).

Layed out bed a week ago.
I've completed 87 quests
Waited for conquest tally this morning... tally completed,. went to mog quest still not given to me..

The answer seems to be: If the quest isnt given to you just do more quests. :) You also hafta go to your hometown and select layout and put the bed in. You wont get the quest if it is only in your mog safe.

Next beds needed:
Mahagony Bed
Noble Bed

60k and 125k on my server :(

gonna leave it simple:

You need the mog in his original mog house. You need the bronze bed in the mog house.

Both above requirements must be met on SUNDAY during the conquest tally. Then return to your mog. Voila!

Okay the people who are saying that you have to be in the mog house during the tally or talk to the mog right after are likely wrong.

I installed the bed in my house a few days before the tally. (Rank 2, Fame ~30 in Windy, lvl 21 with subjob and choco). The night before the tally I found myself in Jeuno and had a rent-a-room. The tally passed with me logged off. When I logged on next I went in to the rent-a-room the mog said nothing about the quest. Once I got back to Windy and reinstalled my stuff there I got the cutscene and the quest right away. This was towards the evening on sunday and at least a dozen RL hours after the tally. So clearly you have to be in your actual home-town mog house to trigger teh quest, but it doesn't matter whether you are on or not during the tally or probably how soon you talk to the mog either.

I gave the mog the stuff and he said thanks etc (no sign of him actually leaving). Interestingly, the next RL day i had a rent-a-room in Jeuno and I walked in and talked to the mog and he said he was back from vacation and hed increased my mog safe size. So while you have to be in your home for him to talk about going on vacation, apparently you can be in a rent-a-room for when he comes back and you receive the reward.

I finally did get the quest finished. Moggle finally came back and I got my 10 extra spaces. As to my fame level I had 25 quests done and the fame check NPC in San d'Oria said "I hear your name often." I had my bronze bed in the Mog House for a few real life days and the quest never started. I walked in to the Mog House right after the Conquest Tally, like 10 seconds after the message, and I got the quest. I had done no additional quests from the time I first put the bed in the house till the Tally. It might be a combination of having enough fame and doing it at the right time, but I know that doing it after the Tally works. Also you do not have to be in the Mog House when the tally comes because like I said I was outside it and went in 10 seconds after the Tally message. This is kind of unfortunate because the Tally may come at times that some people cannot log on, and it's only once a week. Perhaps Square should take out the timing requirement and base it on pure fame plus having the bed. Waiting for a once a week Tally seems like a pointless timesink to me. Good luck to those who are trying to get this quest.

Do you have to be from Windurst or has resident at Windurst to get this quest?

oki, i got this when i was rank2, full bar, and lvl3 at fame (heard my name), but only ~19 completed quest.

i have the bed, a pot, a bench and a wastebasket. after the tally and after 2 hrs real time, i went back to moogle and when i click on my moogle it spawned the quest. i happily gave him the power bow and beetle ring and it says it'll return with a treasure from his home town in a few days.

i waited for 2 full days (real time, over 48days game time), and still my moogle doesn't increase the safe size, nothing happen. Totally nothing happen.

tell mi what's wrong!?
