Main / Mail

Contents

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.

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.

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.

Mailing between servers is possible, however the Freedom Isles server is the exception. No items can be mailed to or from Freedom. NB! At the moment you cannot actually send mails to any other server, either from nor to GV or Wild.

Sending mail between servers doubles (2x) the cost of postage.

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)
