Mognet is a mail delivery service between moogles! We can send and receive letters to and from moogles in other locations! Kupo! But delivery has been very sporadic lately! So I want you to help us deliver mail! Kupo!
Kupo explains Mognet to Vivi
Template:See Also Mognet (モグネット, Mogunetto?) is the name of the moogle mail service used in Final Fantasy IX. It was created by Hiroyuki Ito, the game's director. Using it, moogles can send letters to each other. It is run from a hidden location called Mognet Central, and the moogle charged with delivering the letters is Artemicion. During Final Fantasy IX, the letters are not being delivered properly because Mognet Central's machine has broken down, so the moogles ask the player characters to deliver their mail in a long sidequest.
When a moogle wants the player to deliver mail, it will usually say, "I have a favor to ask, kupo!" After a number of deliveries have been made, the dialogue will change to "I haven't received any mail lately, kupo". When the player meets the moogle whom the letter is to be delivered to, they will say "I want mail! Kupo!" If the player refuses, they will say "I'm so sad, kupo..." The player can carry up to three letters at a time, and even if the party is made up of different characters, mail can still be delivered. After visiting Mogmi and Moguta in Gizamaluke's Grotto, the player can get a Kupo Nut every time he or she successfully delivers a letter provided he or she doesn't have one already. The player can bring Kupo Nuts to Moguta for various prizes.
Deliveries
Several letters must be delivered before certain plot events, or they can never be delivered. Not all letters need to be delivered in order to complete the Superslick sidequest; only the ones on disc 4 are necessary.
- Kupo to Monty: Kupo, the moogle in the church steeple in Alexandria, tells Vivi about Mognet, and requests that he help with delivery. Though the player is given a choice, they cannot actually refuse, as Kupo simply keeps begging until the player accepts. Monty can be found in the Evil Forest, hiding in a tree trunk by the spring.
- Mois to Gumo: Mois is the moogle frozen inside the Ice Cavern. Gumo can be found in the inn in Dali. Despite not liking Mois, Gumo takes the letter.
- Kumop to Mogki: Kumop is in the Dali underground storage area, hiding in a barrel with his pom-pom sticking out. Mogki is in the Lindblum Castle Guest Room.
- Mogki to Atla: After getting her letter, Mogki asks to send a letter herself. Atla is in Burmecia's Vault.
- Grimo to Nazna: In the Aerbs Mountains, South Gate, the moogle requests a letter be delivered. Nazna is at the Summit Station.
- Nazna to Mochos: Nazna gives the player a letter after being given hers. Mochos is in Gargan Roo.
- Atla to Monev: After Atla gets a letter, he wants to send one out to Monev. In Cleyra's trunk, Monev can be found.
- Mopli to Serino: After the Alexandrian soldiers attack Cleyra, Mopli can be found in the sand pit where the Antlion attacked. Serino is on the Red Rose.
- Serino to Moodon: Once she gets her letter, Serino sends out her own. Moodon is at the inn in Lindblum, following the Alexandrian invasion.
- Mosh to Monty: Mosh is in the Alexandria Chapel after the rescue attempt for Garnet. Monty has escaped from the Evil Forest, and now is at the Pinnacle Rocks.
- Moodon to Moonte: Moodon sends out a letter after the player delivers one to him. Moonte is at the Dragon's Gate of Lindblum.
- Kuppo to Kupo: Kuppo is the moogle in Fossil Roo's mining site. He must be dug out of the wall in order to get his letter. Kupo is still at the Alexandria Chapel.
- Mogmatt to Suzuna: In Conde Petie's item shop is Mogmatt. In the Conde Petie Mountain Path is Suzuna.
- Mogryo to Mocchi: Mogryo is in the Black Mage Village, who wants to send a letter to Mocchi in the Iifa Tree.
- Mogki to Moodon: Neither have moved from their old location. Mogki is in the Lindblum Guest Room, Moodon is still at the Lindblum Inn.
- Mimoza to Mooel: Outside Oeilvert is Mimoza, who wants to send a letter to Mooel inside the dungeon about the recent breakdown of Mognet.
- Mojito to Mogsam: Both are inside the Desert Palace. Mojito sends a letter to Mogsam, who is inside the library.
- Mogrika to Moolan: Mogrika is in Esto Gaza, after she gets a letter from Artemicion, she sends a letter to Moolan. Moolan is in Mount Gulug (Esto Gaza and Mount Gulug are both sealed off by roots from the Iifa Tree in disc 4).
- Moolan to Mogtaka: Moolan knows why Mognet has shut down, so he sends a letter to Mogtaka, who is also in Mount Gulug (as before, Mount Gulug is unavailable on disc 4).
- Mogki to Kumool: Mogki, still in the same place in the guest room of Lindblum Castle, sends a letter to Kumool. Kumool is in Ipsen's Castle.
- Moorock to Mozme: In Bran Bal, Moorock can be found trapped in a pot. Despite never hearing of Mognet, he sends a letter to his buddy in a maze in Pandemonium.
- Kupo to Atla: This letter, and all those that follow can only be delivered following the player finding Mognet Central in disc 4 with a chocobo. Kupo in the Alexandria Bell Tower sends a letter to Atla, in Burmecia. This begins a long letter chain. Even if the player finds Mognet Central before disc 4, Kupo will not give this letter yet.
- Atla to Mogryo: Mogryo is in the Black Mage Village in front of the chocobo stable.
- Mogryo to Kumool: Kumool is still in Ipsen's Castle.
- Kumool to Mois: Mois used to be in the Ice Cavern, but that is sealed off in disc 4. Quina must be in the party to reach the entrance of Fossil Roo, where Mois can be found.
- Mois to Noggy: Noggy is at the synthesis shop in Daguerreo.
- Noggy to Kupo: As always Kupo is at the chapel in Alexandria. At this point, the moogles have discovered what the problem with Mognet is. To finish the Mognet sidequest, the player must talk to Ruby at Alexandria's theater and ask for some Superslick. When the player talks to Artemicion in Mognet Central, the Superslick can be used to fix the machine. For completing the entire quest, the player gets a Protect Ring, and is congratulated for delivering # letters.
Letters
Below is a list of all the letters that appear in Final Fantasy IX. In the first part of the game, before Mognet breaks down, moogles will often have letters with them when the player first meets them.
