Ward Delivery System Idea

[Micrll]

How about this for a way to link the wards?

Add in a NPC 'Shipping / Delivery Counter' You can browse the other wards from here and see if they have the item you want for sale.
If they do have it for sale in another ward the NPC can have it ordered and delivered to the current city you are in.
Of course such a service would not be free, I would imagine a % of the items total cost would be added to the buyer's final price. The NPC pockets the fee and the rest goes to the player/retainer that the item was purchased from.

This way, there is a incentive to go to different cities for shopping but if you REALLY want a item without having to travel you can speed up the process by using this. Also provides another way to acutally spend money.

EDIT: As for the actual delivery time, I think one "in-game day / night cycle" (one day) would be sufficient. Instant would be nice but that kind of breaks the concept of having it 'delivered'.

Any thoughts on this idea?

I like it, be good if you're an ARC or something of that nature and run out of arrows.

Yes, we are in great need of a Delivery System.

So a 5% fee to buy items from other citys wards....sounds like a decent idea.
Personaly, i feel they could link all the wards from all citys and it may not take as much programming effort. But good idea nontheless.

Linking them would work, but this attempts to keep it more in line with the more realistic feel the game goes for by using the Market Ward to begin with.

Call it, The Moogle Mail Service.

Or something like that. If Moogles can't be used to make sense in the world's story. Use Chocobo carriages to deliver the goods instead. Call it Choco Mail Service. That would be neat.

We definitely could use a system like this ^__^

[Micrll]

I haven't gone through the entire Gridania story line but as far as I know Moogles are fairly uncommon in this game. Though I would be totally down for that regardless.
