Moogles are supporting characters in the "Final Fantasy" series of games. They are small, white creatures, with red wings,
and are quite intelligent, even though they have been used as pets. "Moogle" is also a status condition in the game "Final
Fantasy Adventure". When you are turned into a Moogle, you can't fight and have weakened defense. Moogles are also seen in
the SNES game "Secret of Mana". In that game, you find a whole village of Moogles, and must help them. Moogles first appeared
in the game "Final Fantasy 3", which was only sold in Japan. Moogles are next seen in "Final Fantasy 5", where you find a
forest of them, which unfortunately is later destroyed. In "Final Fantasy 6" (FF3 in America), a Moogle named Mog joins your
team. Mog fights with a spear, and has powerful dance attacks. Moogles are seen in excess in "Final Fantasy 7" in various
games and places, as well as one of your teammates, Cait Sith. Cait Sith isn't actually a Moogle, but a cat who magically
brought a teddy bear moogle to life and rides on it. It is still unknown if Moogles will be used is "Final Fantasy 8".
In Final Fantasy IX, Moogles are like save points. At a moogle,
you can save your game, use a Tent, and access Mognet. Some moogles even run a Mogshop where you can buy items and weapons.
Mognet is a mail delivery system between Mogs. Kupo, in Alexandria, will introduce
you to this system, and ask you to help out by delivering letters to other moogles. This system continues, but later on it
will stop for some unknown reason. The moogles need you to help out, here's how.
You'll need to go to Mognet Central. You'll need to use a chocobo with the Reef
ability. Go to the long island located north of the Outer Continent .You'll
find a crack in the mountain in the centre of the island... use a Dead Pepper to open the crack with your Chocobo.
Inside, you'll learn from Artemecion that he used to much of a certain item
on himself that the machine that runs Mognet, which needs the item to function, can't be used. To learn about the item, begin
delivering a chain of letters (described below) starting with Kupo in Alexandria. [ note... after each delivery you get a
Kupo Nut. You should make sure you deliver this nut to the family in Gizamaluke's Grotto. You won't get a new Kupo Nut if
you already have one. ] First talk to Kupo at the Alexandria Bell Tower... then deliver his letter to Alta.. and follow the
chain below
Deliver Mail to [Location]
Alta [Burmecia]
Mogryo [Black Mage Village]
Kumool
[Ipsen's Castle]

CHOCOBO's
Obtaining A Chocobo
Obtaining a Chocobo is simple. First you
must find the Chocobo Forest area, which is on the Mist Continent, by the lower exit of Lindbulm. Enter the forest, and the
Chocobo there will run away. Talk to the mogli, and he will give you a Gisal vegetable (or greens). Go outside and use the
Greens wherever you see small Chocobo tracks on the ground (there is a set right outside the forest) and call over the Chocobo.
You can get more Greens from the mogli in the forest for a certain amount of Gil, and you can also ride into the forest while
on the Chocobo. If you use a Dead Pepper while on the Chocobo, it's digging power will increase, and it is even said that
they can break through cracks in various places of the world like this.
Chocobo Digging
You
can dig at one of 3 locations: The Chocobo Forest, The Chocobo Lagoon, and the Chocobo Sky Garden once you get there. Talk
to the Mogli and choose the top option and you can dig for a set amount of time, which is different at different places. When
the Chocobo's "Kueeee" Sound gets long, you are on the right track, and and there is an object buried nearby. Make sure you
are always running, rather than walking to save time. You can find cheap objects like potions which are worth 1 point or sometimes
slightly better stuff like Ethers. You can also find important Chocobo items like Dead Peppers and Chocograph pieces. When
you gain enough points, your Chocobo will gain one level and dig faster, but while digging in the Chocobo Lagoon, you will
dig at half the normal rate as the Chocobo Forest. Digging 4 items in one game of Digging at the Chocobo Forest will net you
10 bonus seconds, while digging 4 items in one game at the Chocobo's Lagoon will net you bonus points, unless you have a dark
blue or better Chocobo. Without a dark blue one, you will only get 30 seconds and half of the lagoon area to dig in. When
you get a dark blue one, the whole area becomes available and you will get 60 seconds. You will also dig much faster, and
get the 10 bonus seconds after 4 items. You will also get a big bonus (around 60 points) for digging up 8 items in 70 seconds.
Chocographs
When you find a Chocograph while playing the digging game, you will
get 15 points, and 5 bonus points. After you leave and return to the World Map, you can select to equip a Chocograph, which
will display a picture. You must find a similar location somewhere in the world and dig in that location until you find a
treasure. The cry will get a little longer, just like in the digging game when you are close. Some treasure will be items,
while other treasure will be upgrades (see the upgrades section for more details on upgrades). You can have 2 unsolved Chocographs
from each digging game location until Chocographs will stop appearing at that location (Until you solve one or both). The
order in which you get the Chocographs is totally random.
Finding Chocobo Upgrades
A
few chests will teleport you to the Chocobo Dream World, where your Chocobo will be granted a color change and new powers.
Chocograph number 2 will give your Chocobo the light blue Reef upgrade, which will let you walk and dig on shallow water.
Treasure number 12 will give you the red Mountain upgrade, which will let you basically walk anywhere on any continent. Treasure
number 14 will give you the dark blue Sea upgrade, which will let you walk over deep water (but you need to find a beach to
board/leave land. Treasure number 20 will give you the white/goldish Sky upgrade, which will let you fly by using the Circle
Button over a forest area. You need another forest to land. While you are flying, you can press Triangle and use a Dead Pepper,
which will cause you to shoot up into the sky. If you use this ability over one of the large shadows on the ground/sea, you
will be shot up to the Chocobo Aerial Garden. There are a few different places where this shadow can appear, including in
the northeast by the area where the Earth Temple was that is always shaking, Behind Alexandria, and to the southwest of the
world on an island.
