Audrel: /* Cannot be sent */

[[CDB|Main]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

Quote from the Sending dialog : ''Use mailboxes with caution and inexpensive items until you rely on the spirits. They are still learning, and take no responsibility for lost items.''

== Description ==
You can send mail to other players in the game via spirit containers which have been enchanted by priests/priestesses of Fo or Libila with the spells [[courier]] or [[Dark Messenger|dark messenger]] respectively.

Mailboxes do get damaged and can be destroyed by decay, causing the cast on it to disappear.

== Types of spirit containers ==
There is no difference in operation between the various spirit containers.
*[[Spirit house]] - ''fine carpentry''
*[[Spirit mansion]] - ''fine carpentry''
*[[Spirit cottage]] - ''masonry''
*[[Spirit castle]] - ''masonry''

== Sending process ==
To send the mail, drop the item(s) into the spirit container, then right-click the container, and select ''Send''. There are two dialogs that you will to control how the items are sent. The first allows you to specify the name of the recipient, and what items should be send using C.O.D. (cash on delivery). It also allows to skip the second dialog. The second dialog allows you to see how much the delivery charge will be, and to specify the C.O.D. amount you will charge the recipient if applicable.

You cannot send an item to a member of an enemy [[kingdom]] on [[Chaos]]. You get the message: "You may not trade with the enemy."

'''NOTICE: Items will be mailed to the server the recipient is currently present on. It can only be retrieved from that server'''

== Receiving process ==

When you login, you will receive a message if you have any mail.

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 ==

=== Same server ===
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.

=== Cross server ===
If the recipient does not pick up their mail within two weeks, they are destroyed.

If the recipient uses return-to-sender and the original sender does not pick up the items within two weeks, they are destroyed.

<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 10 [[Bank of Wurm|copper]] per item if the receiver is on the same server, or 20 copper per item if on another server. Cross-server mailing is currently limited to within the [[Freedom|Freedom Isles]] ([[Independence]], [[Deliverance]], [[Exodus]], [[Celebration]], and [[Chaos]]).

The postage fee for an inscribed [[papyrus sheet]] is now only 1 [[Bank of Wurm|iron]] (formerly 40), even for cross-server deliveries.

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.

Items sent in containers still incur fees. Example : A [[backpack]] with 3 [[wood scrap]]s in it would cost you 4 x 10 copper (1x backpack, 3x wood scrap) to send due to being counted as 4 separate items. Also, combing items (e.g. lumps) does not decrease the mailing cost, so a 4kg lump costs the same as 4x 1kg lumps.

== Delivery times ==
Any items sent via mailbox have a predetermined time for mailing. The strength of the enchant affects this (and appears to be 101 minus the cast strength in minutes).

* 31 - A bit more than one hour (estimate 70 minutes)
* 48 - A bit less than one hour (estimate 55 minutes)
* 63 - Less than one hours (estimate 35 to 40 minutes)
* 78 - Less than 30 minutes (estimate 25 minutes)
* 90 - Less than ten minutes
* 99 - Less than ten minutes (2 minutes)

== Can be sent ==
*Backpack (and everything that can fit in one)
*Small Barrel (and everything that can fit in one)
*Cauldron (and everything that can fit in one)
*Metal [[Lump|lump]] (sendable only in a container)
*Carving knife
*Hatchet
*Short sword
*Armor pieces
*Saw
*Mallet
*File
*Sickle
*Knives
*Needle
*Lantern
*Pickaxe
*Spindle
*Chisel
*Steel and flint
*Large anvil
*Small anvil
*Hammer
*Trowel
*Small axe
*Pelt
*Dredge
*Shields (all of them are mailable)
*Triangular sail (and all smaller than it, like square piece of cloth)
*Candelabra
*Whetstone
*Large Maul
*Explorer tent
*Saddle

Talk:Small cart

Audrel: /* Limits */ new section

== Dragging formula ==

Interesting to see someone's been examining this in detail. Another thing that would be very useful is how cart weight / own weight / strength is used to calculate stamina drain. Does it work the same way as dragging capability? - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 11:06, 16 June 2008 (CDT)

I'd imagine so...
--[[User:Ctrlaltdelete|Ctrlaltdelete]] 05:41, 13 July 2008 (CDT)

Never noticed the discussion section. Drakhri and I did some testing forever ago with stamina drain the same time we were messing around with the max drag formula. It was hard to test, and in our opinion not super important. Obviously, cart weight increases stamina drain. We did all tests with nothing in our inventory. Also obviously, slopes increase/decrease drain. When I was dragging my max load at 30 strength, my stamina depleted very quickly, even on flat ground.

Body stamina also seems to affect it. Zanetheinsane, with 1 higher bodystr but 2 less body bodystam, would run out of stamina slightly before I would with the same weight in the cart. Needless to say, if you're dragging 120 dirt up a 20 slope ramp with two fountains in your cart, your stamina wont last you the length of two tiles, if one.

Now days, however, it will be very rare for someone to drag more than the weight of 94 bricks.--[[User:Teslas|Teslas]] 03:35, 1 December 2008 (CST)

I believe the following is incorrect:
* The maximum weight you can drag in a small cart is determined by the formula (Body strength * 7 - Amount of weight you're carrying) * 10 - 60kg. See body strength for more details.
I have 20.35 BodyStrength, 11.45kg in inventory, 6.9kg on body, and 946kg in cart. Yet, I cannot pull the cart. I do however have unhealed wounds, could this be the problem?[[User:ChrisNYC|ChrisNYC]] 17:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
:yes. wounds can reduce the effective body strength. --[[User:Ago|Ago]] 18:21, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

== Limits ==

40 [[Rock Shards]] - 800kg >> I had mistakenly said 800kg was the limit in a small cart. This is only the case so far for shards.

{{Item
|name=Small cart
|image=Small_cart.png
|active=[[plank]] (2.0 kg)
|passive=[[small wheel axle]]
|group=Containers
|materials=* 5 [[plank]]
* 2 [[shaft]] (1.0kg)
* 2 [[small nails]]
|result=* '''{{PAGENAME}}'''
|skill=fine carpentry}}

== Description ==
''A small two wheel cart designed to be dragged by one person.''

A mobile [[container]] used to transport cargo.

== Subcomponents ==

*1x [[small wheel axle]]

== Total Materials ==
* 7 [[shaft]]
* 12 [[plank|planks]]
* 2 [[small nails]]

'''Note:''' At very low [[fine carpentry]] skills, it is a good idea to make a couple of extra [[shaft]]s and [[plank]]s.

== Notes ==
* The first plank is no longer lost if you fail the initial attachment. (9/16/10 update)
* The [[Quality]] of the cart affects its [[decay]] rate. Small carts are naturally very resistant to damage.
* The bulk of item affects how many fit into a cart.
* Although carts cannot be dragged in water tiles, they can be pushed.
* 6.05 kg of [[dye]] is needed to paint a cart.
* An unfinished cart missing only one plank weighs 23.40 kg, and will fit inside other carts and [[raft]]s for easy transport.
* The maximum weight you can drag in a small cart is determined by the formula (Body strength * 7 - Amount of weight you're carrying) * 10 - 60kg. See [[body strength]] for more details.
* A small cart '''cannot''' be locked. For safer storage, you may want to consider a [[large cart]].
* You can not hitch animals to a small cart, only to a [[large cart]].

== Useful Quantities ==
The following are the maximum hard-coded amounts of certain items a small cart can hold due to their volume or other factors (weight has no say here).

* 40 standard units (20 kg) of [[pile of dirt|dirt]], [[heap of sand|sand]], [[rock shards]] or [[:category:ores|ore]].
* 67 [[pile of peat|peat]]
* 94 [[stone brick|bricks]]
* 7 [[slab|slabs]]
* 9 [[log]]s
* 2 [[felled tree]]s

== Tips ==
[[Clay]] or similar items can be [[combine]]d to bypass the universal container limit of 100 items.

== Building Items Inside Carts ==

This is a precarious thing to do as sometimes an item must be on the ground in order to be continued or finished. Other times, the item may be too heavy to remove from the cart once finished or too heavy to remove to add the last piece, leaving you with a 99% complete item that can never be used. A patch was applied in October 2008 making it impossible to finish most items inside carts, including, but not restricted to, fountains.

A few amusing things that used to be able to be finished inside carts: Shrines, Fountains, Guard Towers, Forges (could not light), Mailboxes.
