[[CDB|Main]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''
==Description==You can send mail to other players in the game via [[spirit cottage]]s and [[spirit house]]s containers which have been enchanted by priests/priestesses of Fo or Libila with the spells [[Courier]] or [[Dark Messengermessenger]] respectively.
==Types==*[[Spirit house]] - ''Fine Carpentry''*[[Spirit mansion]] - ''Fine Carpentry''*[[Spirit cottage]] - ''Masonry''*[[Spirit castle]] - ''Masonry''Mailboxes do receive damage and can be destroyed by decay, causing the cast on it to disappear.
==MethodTypes of spirit containers ==To send the mail, drop There is no difference in operation between the various spirit containers.*[[itemSpirit house]](s) into the - ''fine carpentry''*[[Mail#Types|spirit containerSpirit mansion]], right-click the ''fine carpentry''*[[mailSpirit cottage]]box, and select - ''Sendmasonry''. A dialogue will come up asking for various details, such as if you want to send it as *[[Spirit castle]] - ''Cash On Deliverymasonry'' and to whom you're sending. If there are multiple items in the spirit container, you'll need to check the boxes for the items you wish to send.
=== Postage =Mail between servers==The postage is 10 * You cannot send an item to a member of an enemy [[kingdom]] on [[Chaos]] or on [[Bank of Wurm|copperEpic]] per item if servers. You get the message: "You may not trade with the receiver is on enemy."* You cannot send items between Freedom or Epic servers and the same Jackal server. * You cannot send items between North and South Freedom clusters. * '''NOTICE: Items will be charged 20 copper per item if mailed to the server the receiver recipient is currently present on another . It can only be retrieved from that server. Mailing between servers is not currently possible.'''
Items sent in containers still count== Sending process ==To send the mail, so for example a [[backpack]] with 3 [[wood scrap]]# Drop the item(s in it would cost ) into any spirit container, then right-click the container, and select ''Send''. # There are two dialogues that will control how the items are sent. ## The first allows you 4 x 10 copper to specify the name of the recipient, and what items should be sent using C.O.D. (1x backpack, 3x wood scrapcash on delivery) to send due to being counted as 4 separate items. To be noted is It also allows to skip the fact that combined lumps do not count as one lumpsecond dialog. If ## The second dialogue allows you have 1 5kg lump you want to send it see how much the delivery charge will be counted as 5 1kg lumps, so combining and to specify the lumps C.O.D. amount you will not give you a cheaper mailcostcharge the recipient if applicable.
==Receiving process = Delivery times ===Any items sent via mailbox have a predetermined time for mailing. The strength of the enchant affects this (around 101 minus the strength?).
When you login, you will receive a message if you have any mail. ''You sense imps speaking your name and saying you have 1 mail waiting to be picked up.'' To receive or check for mail, right-click any spirit container and select ''Check''. If an item is sent as ''Cash On Delivery'' you need to have the money in your bank to cover the delivery charge before you can receive the items.  You also have the option to return the items to the sender.  == Non-retrieved items == If the recipient does not pick up their mail within two weeks, they are automatically returned-to-sender.  If the original sender does not pick up the returned items within two weeks, they are destroyed.  If the recipient uses return-to-sender and the original sender does not pick up the items within 7 days, they are destroyed. If a merchant disbands due to 3 months of inactivity of its owner, then their contents will be mailed to the owner with a 6 month expiry period. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">'''There is no way to extract items from the mail system if you are not the recipient !'''</span> '''If you are sending something valuable, ensure that the recipient is available to pick it up before you send it. If you return an item to the sender, it would be good manners to contact them to ensure they retrieve it before the two week deadline.''' == Postage charges ==The postage is 1 [[Bank of Wurm|copper]] per item for same or cross-server mailing. The postage fee is taken from the bank account of the sender as the items are sent, unless they are C.O.D., in which case it is taken from the recipient when received. === Exceptions ===* 31 - A bit more than one hour An inscribed [[papyrus sheet]] or [[paper sheet]] is 1 [[Bank of Wurm|iron]] to mail.* Combined items (Estimate 70 such as metal lumps, wood scraps, liquids, etc) are 1 copper per 5 kg. == Delivery times ==Any items sent via [[mailbox]] have a predetermined time for mailing, based on the power of the enchant of the sending [[mailbox]].the timer is 101 minus power in minutes). Examples:* 48 - A bit less than one hour (Estimate 55 1 power will take 100 minutes).* 63 - Less than one hours (Estimate 35 to 40 50 power will take 51 minutes).* 78 - Less than 30 minutes (Estimate 25 99 power will take 2 minutes).* 90 - Less than ten minutes101 or higher power will be instant.

*Two-handed sword[[Bulk storage bin]]*[[Christmas tree]]**[[Bank of Wurm|Coin]]*[[Corpse]]*[[Deck board]]**[[Fishing rod]]**[[Flag]]**[[Halberd]]**[[Hull plank]]*[[Kingdom banner]]**[[Lamp]]**[[Large barrel]]*Longsword[[Large barrel rack]]*Huge axe[[Large crate]]*[[Log]]**[[Longbow]]**[[Long spear]]**[[Nodrop]] items (Spyglass, Sleep powder etc)*[[Ore]] (any kind)**[[Plank]]**[[Range pole]]**[[Slab]]**[[Small barrel rack]]*[[Small crate]]*[[Spinning wheel]]*[[Tall kingdom banner]]*[[Tapestry]]**Bow[[Trellis]]*ShovelUnfinished items of any kind*Rake[[Wine barrel rack]]*Rock shards[[Wooden beam]]*  <nowiki>*</nowiki>Can be sent in mailboxes with a '''[[Runes|zinc rune of Magranon]]''' attached. ==Additional Uses of Mailboxes==Mailboxes can be right-clicked on to access the [[Jackal#Jackal_points_and_rewards|Jackal points shop]] and the [[Rift points shop]].  == Notes == Items sent in containers still incur fees. Example : A [[backpack]] with 3 [[wood scrap]]s in it would cost you 4 x 1 copper (1x backpack, 3x wood scrap) to send due to being counted as 4 separate items. However, combining items (e.g. lumps) does decrease the mailing cost - combined items that are mailed will cost 1 copper per 5 kg, so a 5kg lump costs the same as one 1 kg lump.
Note: These can be sent if put in a [[gift box]] and placed in a small barrel.
