Mission 1: The Ship Routes

Conversation:

Player:	Hi
Kevin:	Greetings player, 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:

Conversation:

Player:	Hi
Kevin:	Greetings player, 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:

Conversation:

Player:	Hi
Kevin:	Greetings player, 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

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.

Conversation:

Player:	Hi
Hugo:	Be greeted, player!
Player:	New dress pattern
