Description

You can send mail to other players in the game via spirit cottages and spirit houses which have been enchanted by priests/priestesses of Fo or Libila with the spells Courier or Dark Messenger respectively.

Types

Method

To send the mail, drop the item(s) into the spirit container, right-click the mailbox, and select Send. A dialogue will come up asking for various details, such as if you want to send it as Cash On Delivery 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.

To receive mail right-click the mailbox, and select Check. If an item is sent as Cash On Delivery you need to have the money in the bank.

Postage

The postage is 10 copper per item if the receiver is on the same server. You will be charged 20 copper per item if the receiver is on another server. Mailing between servers is not currently possible.

The postage fee is taken from the bank account.

Items sent in containers still count, so for example a backpack with 3 wood scraps in it would cost you 4 x 10 copper (1x backpack, 3x wood scrap) to send due to being counted as 4 separate items. To be noted is also the fact that combined lumps do not count as one lump. If you have 1 5kg lump you want to send it will be counted as 5 1kg lumps, so combining the lumps will not give you a cheaper mailcost.

However if you wrap the lump and put it in a barrel, you can send 64kg for a 20c postage fee, 128kg for 30c (and so on if Body Strength permits) this should work for any combineable item.

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?).

  • 48 - A bit less than one hour (Estimate 55 minutes)
