It has the same storage capacity as the player's gobbiebag, and is expandable to a maximum of 80 slots through the completion of certain quests.
Players may view the contents of their Mog Satchel via the abovementioned "Mog Satchel" submenu or the "/satchel" text command, and move items between it and their standard inventory as desired. Note that it is not possible to equip or use items directly from one's Mog Satchel, or sell them via bazaars.
*The Mog Satchel feature is available only to players who possess a registered Square Enix security token, and have linked their PlayOnline accounts to a Square Enix account.

Using the command "/bell #" (where # is a number from 1 to 8 corresponding to the notes of an octave) while equipped with a Dream Bell, Dream Bell +1, Lady Bell, or Lady Bell +1 will sound a bell noise.

Miscellaneous Notes
"A Crystalline Prophecy" Battlefields and Rewards
To enter a battlefield as a party, only one player need fulfill the necessary conditions. Upon that player's successful entry, all other party members may then participate regardless of their registration status or current scenario progress. However, only players that meet the entry conditions may reap the resulting rewards.
Players will be awarded keys (in the form of Key Items) throughout the course of the scenario for claiming victory in battlefields and collecting particular items. Prizes may then be claimed by inspecting the Treasure Coffer situated in the Tenshodo Headquarters (Lower Jeuno).
* The official site for "A Crystalline Prophecy" may be found here.
Known Issues
There is an issue wherein augmented items are displayed as selectable in the item delivery screen even though, similar to Ex items, they cannot be sent.
