Mognet (Final Fantasy III)

Mognet (モグネット) is a feature which first appeared in the Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy III. Unlike Mognet in Final Fantasy IX, this service is not for moogles, but for the player themselves. It is possible to send letters over WiFi to other players if the player has their friend code.

The player can also send letters to many Final Fantasy III denizens such as Princess Sara or Cid. It is through Mognet that the player can unlock the secret dungeon and the secret Job class.

Using Mognet
Players use Mognet by speaking to moogles found in nearly every town in the game. In the Nintendo DS version, players may exchange letters with each other through wireless communication. This may be done remotely with two handhelds next to each other, or through Nintendo WiFi Connection by exchanging friend codes. Up to 28 friend codes may be stored at a time in the address book. Letters may be up to 125 characters long using no more than five lines (25 characters per line).

In-game letters
Below is a list of all the letters that players can receive from non-player characters in Final Fantasy III. The ability to send mail to each character is unlocked at a different points in the story. Whenever a player sends one of these a letter, they will instantly receive one back, which often reveal details of their lives after they have met the Warriors of Light, or offer commentary on the plot. Letters may only be sent once per hour.

In order to receive any letters after the first in the Nintendo DS version, the player must send seven total letters to other players through WiFi. These can either be sent to multiple players or all to the same person. Since the iOS release lacks the ability to send mail to other players, these letters are unlocked automatically after the player has obtained the Fire Crystal from the Molten Cave, though some require a specific character to be at the lead in the party to receive them.

Topapa
Players can send mail to Topapa when Mognet first becomes available after defeating the Djinn in the Sealed Cave. in the iOS version, Luneth must be at the head of the party to receive any letters after the first. After receiving the fourth letter, the player may begin the Onion Knight sidequest.

Sidequests
Players can unlock sidequests through Mognet after receiving a certain amount of letters from specific NPCs.

The Onion Knight
The player must send and receive four letters from Topapa. After the fourth letter is obtained, the player must travel to Ur and speak with him, and then to the Altar Cave where they must save some children from three Bombs. After the battle, the player is rewarded with a crystal shard which unlocks the Onion Knight job.

The Ultima Weapon
The Ultima Weapon quest is divided into multiple parts. First, the player must send four letters to Princess Sara, where she asks for help in repairing her mother's pendant. Then the player must send and receive five letters from Takka. Once the fifth letter is obtained, he will tell the player about the Legendary Smith who can be found in northwest Saronia.

When the player sends and receives four letters from Cid, they will be tasked with slaying a monster in his basement, and are rewarded with a piece of Orichalcum. By finding the Legendary Smith in Falgabard and giving her the Orichalcum, she will forge the Ultima Weapon from it.

??? Dungeon
The game's bonus dungeon can be unlocked after completing both the Onion Knight and Ultima Weapon sidequests and receiving all four letters from Alus and the Four Old Men.
