Delivery System, Made Easy

[Kannadi_Albedo]

Hello. I thought about posting this in the Markets & Retainers section, but I felt it went better here.

Currently there is no way for one player to send items or gil to another player if their characters are not standing very near each other. A delivery system would remove that problem entirely. This is how I envision it:

Every retainer would now have a "Deliveries" inventory slot. It would be the same size as their Bazaar, ten spaces for anything.

One or two Delivery NPCs would stand outside all market areas. They would facilitate any player sending any non-exclusive item to any other player's retainer.

This is how the sending process would work:

1). Approach the Delivery NPC.
2). Type the name of your intended recipient.
3). Choose whichever of the recipient's Retainers you wish to receive your item(s). If the recipient has no Retainer in his/her employ, no delivery can take place.
4). Select your item(s) and click "Send."

This is how the receiving process would work:

1). Summon your Retainer.
2). Choose "Exchange Items" and click the "Deliveries" tab.
3). Transfer item(s) from Deliveries to Retainer's inventory. If there is no space in the inventory, no transfer can take place.
4). Transfer item(s) from Retainer's inventory to your own.

It need not be any more difficult than that. However, for something so convenient I would not be opposed to paying a tiny fee, 100 gil or so, to send items.

And that's all there is to it. A delivery system would add a much-needed service to the game, and I very much look forward to having one someday, whether it resembles what I've described or not.
