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.

This sounds like a good idea. My LS members have discussed the need for a delivery system several times, and this proposal meshes very well with the existing retainer system.

Delivery System would be a huge + for me. I really hope they implement this feature.

Neat idea i'd like to see this implemented, it's a hassle having to use anima points if they're further away and wanting to give a friend an item would help out people who belong to a Linkshell.

"No sir, I dont like it"

Just kidding, i like the idea. This way i can make use of my alt characters retainers and inventory.

Just curious, I like your idea a lot but would you put the restriction that were in XI in this scenario? I personally didn't like the fact I ONLY had those 8 spaces and if the person I sent things to didn't take them out of delivery I couldn't send anything else out.

If we could have what you proposed and not have that limitation/restriction I'm all for an idea such as this.
