Job Perk: Delivering

Active job perk — carry letters and parcels between villages with the dashboard mailroom and /travel.

What Is Delivering?

Cross-village mail between Rudania, Inariko, and Vhintl

Delivering is an active Job Perk for Roots of the Wild. Couriers carry letters and parcels between villages for other players.

Most of the mailroom lives on the Deliveries dashboard (Community → Deliveries). Couriers finish routes with /travel in Discord when they reach the recipient's village.

Jobs with this perk

  • Courier

Quick reference

  • Courier only: Permanent Courier job — Courier is on the job-voucher restricted list and cannot be vouchered
  • Cross-village only: Sender and recipient must be in different villages with current village set
  • Parcel items: Listed from the sender's transferable inventory (equipped gear counts as unavailable); auto-transferred to the recipient on Delivered
  • Courier reward: 100 player tokens to the Courier player's Discord account once per route when status is Delivered — the only automatic courier pay
  • Courier payment field: Optional agreement notes on the slip (shown in Discord) — not enforced or paid by the mailroom
  • Town Hall posts: New mail + claim notices → sender's village; completed delivery → recipient's village

What Delivering Does

Letters, parcels, and what the bot pays automatically

Senders post mail on the dashboard. Recipients get a Town Hall notice when mail arrives. The bot tracks sender, carrier, and completion.

  • Lettermessage on parchment (Common or Hylian script on the dashboard); any length — Discord posts may truncate very long letters
  • Parcelitems listed from the sender's transferable inventory
  • Bothletter and items on the same route
  • Parcel items (on the slip)Automatically moved sender → recipient when status is Delivered — not payment to the Courier
  • 100 player tokensThe only automatic courier pay — credited to the Courier player's Discord account when the route is Delivered (once per delivery ID)
  • Courier payment (optional notes)Free-text agreement between sender and Courier (e.g. “50 tokens”, “2 apples”) — displayed on the slip and in Town Hall posts, never transferred by the mailroom

Do not confuse parcel items (they go to the recipient) with Courier payment notes or the automatic 100 token reward. Extra compensation beyond 100 tokens is arranged between players on your own — see Economy if you use trades or transfers.

Before You Start

Sending, carrying, and receiving

  • SendingLogged into dashboard; sender is your OC with current village set; recipient in a different village; at least a letter or one parcel item; listed items are in sender transferable inventory (not equipped)
  • CarryingCourier is your OC with permanent Courier job; in sender's village to claim or when assigned; not the sender or recipient; finish with /travel to the recipient village
  • ReceivingCharacter exists in a different village than the sender
  • Town HallsRudania, Inariko, and Vhintl — new mail and claim/assign notices post to sender's hall; Delivered posts go to recipient's hall

Village Mailroom Flow

Dashboard dispatch · claim · Discord travel

  • Who can read letters? Sender — always. Recipient — after Delivered. Couriers and everyone elseSealed until delivery on the dashboard
  • Open callstatus Awaiting courier → first Courier to claim wins → En route
  • Specific postmanassigned at dispatch if Courier qualifies in pickup village → En route immediately; claim notice posts to sender's Town Hall
  • Confirm deliveryManual fallback when /travel auto-complete did not run — only the assigned courier's player, and only when that OC is already in the recipient village
  • No party-confirm step on new routes — dispatch goes straight to Awaiting courier or En route (older rows may show legacy confirmation statuses)

Dispatch a Parcel (Sender)

Open DeliveriesDispatch parcel. Commissions cannot be created from Discord.

Dashboard

Dashboard mailroom

  • Pick your sender character and search for a recipient in a different village
  • Open callany Courier in the pickup village can claim (first-claim-wins); Discord pings the Delivering perk role and the recipient
  • Assign a postmanpick a specific Courier in the pickup village; route goes En route immediately and the named Courier is pinged
  • Add a letter (Common or Hylian script), parcel items from transferable inventory, or both
  • Optional Courier payment notes (what you agree to pay beyond the automatic reward) and delivery notes; you receive a public ID like D123456
  • Parcel items stay in the sender's inventory until the route is Delivered — sender must still have them at completion

Claim a Route (Courier)

Dashboard

Dashboard mailroom

  • On Sorting board, use All open routes or filter Pickup in my villages
  • Click Claim on an Awaiting courier open route and pick your Courier OC
  • Courier must have the permanent Courier job and be in the sender's village (pickup village)
  • Courier cannot be the same character as the sender or recipient

Deliver the Mail (Courier)

Discord

/travel — travel your Courier to the recipient's village

  • When /travel arrives at the recipient's village, matching En route deliveries auto-complete
  • Status becomes Delivered (completed in the database) — parcel items transfer, letters unseal for the recipient, destination Town Hall post goes out
  • 100 player tokens credit to your Discord account (also noted in the arrival Town Hall embed)
  • If travel finished but status is still En route, the courier's player can use Confirm delivery on the mailroom when that OC is already in the recipient village

Job Vouchers

Not valid for Courier

Job vouchers do not work for Courier or Delivering. Courier is on the bot's restricted voucher job list — you cannot voucher into Courier at all. Only characters whose permanent job is Courier can claim or carry mail.

  • The dashboard error explicitly states Delivering cannot be used with a job voucher
  • See Jobs & Vouchers for general voucher rules

Common Problems & Fixes

When mail gets stuck or payment doesn't arrive

Sender and recipient in the same village

Cross-village only — pick someone in a different village or move a character first.

No Courier in the pickup village

Post an open call and wait, or ask a Courier player to travel their OC to that village.

Missing perk / job voucher doesn't work

Only the permanent Courier job counts. Job vouchers cannot Courier.

Route already claimed

Another Courier got the open call first (first-claim-wins). Try a different route or ask the sender to post again.

Courier not in the right village

Use /travel to the pickup village before claiming, and to the recipient village before delivery completes.

Travel finished but status still En route

Open My parcels on the dashboard → Confirm delivery (Courier must already be in the recipient village).

No Confirm delivery button

Only the assigned courier's player sees this. Your Courier must finish /travel to the recipient village first — the button appears when their current village matches the recipient.

Item not in inventory or not enough quantity

Unequip gear blocking the stack — only transferable (unequipped) quantity counts. Lower the quantity on the slip or restock before dispatch.

Letter still sealed

Recipients read letters only after Delivered. Senders can always read their own.

Parcel items missing after delivery

Items transfer when status is Delivered. If still En route, the Courier hasn't finished. If Delivered and items are missing, contact staff with the delivery ID.

Delivery failed — sender no longer has parcel items

Sender must still hold everything on the slip at delivery time — do not sell, trade away, or use those items before completion.

Slip Courier payment never arrived

The Courier payment field is optional agreement text only — the mailroom never pays it. Couriers always get the automatic 100 player tokens when the route Delivered. Anything beyond that must be arranged directly with the sender.

100 player tokens never showed up

Meta reward credits the Courier player's Discord account when status is Delivered — check your dashboard token balance. You get this once per delivery ID, not per character.
