Mission 1: The Ship Routes

Find Kevin at the Post Office headquarters between Dwarven Bridge and Mount Sternum and talk to him:

• Player: Hi
• Kevin: Greetings Gracz, what brings you here?
• Player: Mission
• Kevin: You are not a member of our guild yet! We have high standards for our members. To rise in our guild is a difficult but rewarding task. Are you interested in joining?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: Hm, I might consider your proposal, but first you will have to prove your worth by doing some tasks for us. Are you willing to do that?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: Excellent! Your first task will be quite simple. But you should better write my instructions down anyways. You can read and write?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: So listen, you will check certain tours our members have to take to see if there is some trouble. First travel with Captain Bluebear's ship from Thais to Carlin, understood?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: Excellent! Once you have done that you will travel with Uzon to Edron. You will find him in the Femor Hills. Understood?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: Fine, fine! Next, travel with Captain Seahorse to the city of Venore. Understood?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: Good! Finally, find the technomancer Brodrosch and travel with him to the Isle of Cormaya. After this passage report back to me here. Understood?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: Ok, remember: the Tibian mail service puts trust in you! Don't fail and report back soon. Just tell me about your MISSION.
• Player: Bye

1. Go to Thais
2. Swim to Carlin
3. Go to the flying carpet in Femor Hills
4. Fly to Edron
5. Fly to Venore
6. Get to Kazordoon
7. Swim by steamer to Cormaya

Return to Kevin and talk:

• Player: Hi
• Kevin: Greetings Gracz, what brings you here?
• Player: Mission
• Kevin: So you have finally made it! I did not think that you would have it in you ... However: are you ready for another assignment?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: I am glad to hear that. One of our mailboxes was reported to be jammed. It is located on the so called 'mountain' on theisle Folda. Get a crowbar and fix the mailbox. Report about your mission when you have done so.
• Player: Bye

Mission 2: The Jammed Mailbox

After talking to Kevin, buy a Crowbar (this is best done in Kazordoon or on Edron. You can also get one from NPC Lubo near Thais).

Sail to Folda and climb to the highest hilltop.

Use the Crowbar on the Mailbox.

Return to Kevin and say:

• Player: Hi
• Kevin: Greetings Gracz, what brings you here?
• Player: Mission
• Kevin: Excellent, you got it fixed! This will teach this mailbox a lesson indeed! Are you interested in another assignment?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: For your noble deeds I grant you the title Assistant Postofficer. All Postofficers will charge you less money from now on. After every second mission ask me for an ADVANCEMENT. Your next task will be a bit more challenging. Do you feel ready for it?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: I need you to deliver a bill to the stage magician David Brassacres. He's hiding from his creditors somewhere in Venore. It's likely you will have to trick him somehow to reveal his identity. Report back when you delivered this bill.
• Player: Bye

You get promoted to Assistant Postofficer, making Letters and Parcels cheaper.

Mission 3: Bill Delivery

After the conversation, go to Venore and find the guy "A Strange Fellow" in the tavern under the dp. Talk to him (some Rabbits will appear as a result of the conversation):

• Player: Hi
• A Strange Fellow: Uh? What do you want?!
• Player: Hat
• A Strange Fellow: What? My hat?? Theres... nothing special about it!
• Player: Hat
• A Strange Fellow: Stop bugging me about that hat, do you listen?
• Player: Hat
• A Strange Fellow: Hey! Don't touch that hat! Leave it alone!!! Don't do this!!!!
• Player: Hat
• A Strange Fellow: Noooooo! Argh, ok, ok, I guess I can't deny it anymore, I am David Brassacres, the magnificent, so what do you want?
• Player: Bill
• A Strange Fellow: A bill? Oh boy so you are delivering another bill to poor me?
• Player: Yes
• A Strange Fellow: Ok, ok, I'll take it. I guess I have no other choice anyways. And now leave me alone in my misery please.
• Player: Bye
• A Strange Fellow: Good riddance.

Go to Kevin and report to him the completion of the mission:

• Player: Hi
• Kevin: Greetings Gracz, what brings you here?
• Player: Mission
• Kevin: You truly got him? Quite impressive. You are a very promising candidate! I think I have another mission for you. Are you interested?

• Dermot: Hello, traveller Gracz. How can I help you?
• Player: Present

Discuss:

• Player: Hi
• Hugo: Be greeted, Gracz!
• Player: New set of uniforms
• Hugo: A new uniform for the post officers? I am sorry but my dog ate the last dress pattern we used. You need to supply us with a new dress pattern.
• Player: New dress pattern
• Hugo: It was ... wonderous beyond wildest imaginations! I have no clue where Kevin Postner got it from. Better ask him.

Go back to Kevin and tell him:

• Player: Hi
• Kevin: Greetings Gracz, what brings you here?
• Player: New dress pattern
• Kevin: Oh yes, where did we get that from ...? Let's see, first ask the great technomancer in Kazordoon for the technical details. Return here afterwards.

Go to Talphion in Kazordoon Talk to him:

• Player: Hi
• Talphion: HIHOOOO Gracz! <waves his hands>
• Player: New dress pattern
• Talphion: DRESS FLATTEN? WHO WANTS ME TO FLATTEN A DRESS?
• Player: New dress pattern
• Talphion: A PRESS LANTERN? NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT!
• Player: New dress pattern
• Talphion: CHESS? I DONT PLAY CHESS!
• Player: New dress pattern
• Talphion: A PATTERN IN THIS MESS?? HEY DON'T INSULT MY MACHINEHALL!
• Player: New dress pattern
• Talphion: AH YES! I WORKED ON THE DRESS PATTERN FOR THOSE UNIFORMS. STAINLESS TROUSERES, STEAM DRIVEN BOOTS! ANOTHERMARVEL TO BEHOLD! I'LL SENT A COPY TO KEVIN IMEDIATELY!

Go back to Kevin and say:

• Player: Hi
• Kevin: Greetings Gracz, what brings you here?
• Player: New dress pattern
• Kevin: The mail with Talphion's instructions just arived. I remember we asked Queen Eloise of Carlin for the perfect colours. Go there, ask her about the UNIFORMS and report back here.

Go to Queen Eloise in Carlin and say:

• Player: Hail the Queen
• Queen Eloise: I greet thee, my loyal subject.
• Player: Uniforms
• Queen Eloise: I remember about those uniforms, they had a camouflage inlay so they could be worn the inside out too. I will send some color samples via mail to Mr. Postner.

Return to Kevin and:

• Player: Hi
• Kevin: Greetings Gracz, what brings you here?
• Player: New dress pattern
• Kevin: The queen has sent me the samples we needed. The next part is tricky. We need theuniforms to emanate some odor that dogs hate.The dog with the best 'taste' in that field is Noodles,the dog of King Tibianus. Do you understand so far?
• Player: Yes
• Kevin: Good. Go there and find out what taste he dislikes most: mouldy cheese, a piece of fur or abananaskin. Tell him to SNIFF, then the object. Show him the object and ask 'Do you like that?'.DONT let the guards know what you are doing.

Get 3 things now: rotten cheese, a banana peel and an old fur coat.

Mouldy Cheese - Falling out of the Goblins
Banana Skin - The most difficult junk to obtain. Found in some Trolls, cyclops and Orcs.
Dirty Fur - Comes out of an Orc Spearman.

Visit King Tibianus' dog, Noodles, make sure the guards don't see you and say:

• Player: Hi
• Noodles: <sniff> Woof! <sniff>
• Player: Sniff banana skin
• Noodles: <sniff><sniff>
• Player: Do you like that?
• Noodles: Woof!
• Player: Sniff Dirty Fur
• Noodles: <sniff><sniff>
• Player: Do you like that?
• Noodles: Woof!
• Player: Sniff Mouldy Cheese
• Noodles: <sniff><sniff>
• Player: Do you like that?
• Noodles: Meeep! Grrrrr! <spits>

Go back to Kevin and talk:

• Player: Hi
• Kevin: Greetings Gracz, what brings you here?
• Player: New dress pattern
• Kevin: Fine, fine. I think that should do it. Tell Hugo that we order those uniforms. The completed dress pattern will soon arrive in Venore. Report to me when you have talked to him.\

Go back to the tailor Hugo in Venore and tell him:

• Player: Hi
• Hugo: Be greeted, Gracz!
• Player: New dress pattern
• Hugo: By the gods of fashion! Didn't it do that I fed the last dress pattern to my poor dog? Will this mocking of all which is taste and fashion never stop?? Ok, ok, you will get those ugly, stinking uniforms and now get lost, fashion terrorist.
