Mognet (Final Fantasy III)

Mognet 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. Before the shutdown of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service for Nintendo DS on May 20, 2014, people had the possibility to trade friend codes and send letters via the Wi-Fi network. Unfortunately, this means that current DS players can no longer utilize the Mognet service to its fullest, and new players will only be able to use local DS-to-DS wireless communication to access the extra features it unlocks.
The player can send letters to many Final Fantasy III denizens, such as Princess Sara or Cid. It is through Mognet that the player can unlock the bonus dungeon and the secret Job class.
Mognet works a little bit differently for the mobile, PSP and PC versions, where the letters unlock at certain points of the story. The player will have to read the new piece of mail at a moogle found in towns before getting the next mail.
== Using Mognet ==
The player uses Mognet by speaking to moogles found in nearly every town. In the Nintendo DS version, the player may exchange letters with each other through wireless communication. This can be done remotely with two handhelds next to each other, and before the service was shut down it was possible through Nintendo WiFi Connection by exchanging friend codes. Up to 28 friend codes could 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 the letters the player can receive from non-player characters. The ability to send mail to each character is unlocked at different points in the story. Whenever a player sends a letter they will instantly receive one back, which often reveals details of the recipient's life after they met the Warriors of the Light, or offer commentary on the plot. Letters may be sent once per hour.
To receive letters after the first one in the Nintendo DS version, the player must send seven letters to other players (either to multiple players or all to the same person). Since the mobile, PSP and PC releases lack 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 ===
The player can send mail to Topapa when Mognet first becomes available after defeating the Djinn in the Sealed Cave. In the mobile, PSP and PC versions, Luneth must be the party leader to receive any letter after the first. After receiving the fourth letter, the player may begin the Onion Knight sidequest.

:::Luneth, Arc, how fare you?
:::Ur is just not the same without
:::you two.
:::Everyone here misses you,
:::and we all pray for your safe
:::return.

=== Takka ===
The player can send mail to Takka any time after Refia rejoins the party on Cid's airship when departing for Canaan. In the mobile, PSP and PC versions, Refia must be the party leader to receive any letter after the first. To receive his fifth letter in those versions, the player must have reached Eureka. Receiving all five letters is a requirement for the Ultima Weapon sidequest.

== Sidequests ==
The player 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 received, 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 fragment 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. The player must then send and receive five letters from Takka, and once the fifth letter is received, 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 after opening the door to Eureka 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.
