Legend

It is very hard to become a postman so Kevin has a five step course of Assistant Postman, Postman, Grand Postman, Grand Postman for Special Operations, and Arch Postman.

Location

Begins in Kevin's office at the Tibia Postal Service Headquarters, but takes you all over Tibia.

Dangers

This trip has little risk throughout it until the end. Creatures to encounter are goblins or skeletons, Ice Island creatures, dwarves of sorts, trolls or orcs, and all types of minotaurs.

Reward

Cheaper parcels (10 gp), letters (5 gp), boat fares (10 gp cheaper). 6k discount in The Thieves Guild Quest. Use of locked mailboxes, Post Officer's Hat, Post Horn and the achievement Archpostman.

This quest takes a great deal of time and money. It can be worked on at any level but certain parts need 500 oz cap and at the end, the Player needs to be able to make it to and through Mintwallin, which can be done with others help.

This quest can be done in stages, depending upon your abilities or time constraints.

There are a total of 10 missions in five groups: Assistant Postman (cheaper parcels and letters), Postman (Post Officer's Hat), Grand Postman (boat discounts), Grand Postman for Special Operations (Waldo's Post Horn), and Arch Postman (use of locked Mailboxes).

Required Equipment

Since there is so much walking on "safe" paths, you should bring plenty of Food. Brown Mushrooms are the best. If you are a mage or paladin, bring plenty of Blank Runes also.

Assistant Postman

• Approximately 650gp. Maybe more or less depending upon the routes you take
• Crowbar
• 20gp to travel to Folda

Postman

• 20 Bones

Grand Postman

• Moldy Cheese
• Banana Skin
• Dirty Fur

Grand Postman for Special Operations

• Approximately 200gp. Maybe more or less depending on Dice Rolls
• 12 Arrows
• Grapes

Arch Postman

• 500oz of available capacity (no way to avoid it)
• Travel money to Vega

Method

Start out by talking to Kevin at his post office between Thais and Kazordoon (here). Ask him for a mission and tell him you are interested in joining his guild (does not prevent you from joining a "normal" Tibia guild). If you are ever lost, forgot where you were going, or after you have completed a mission, always return to Kevin and ask about a mission.

Assistant Postman

Mission 1 - Check Postal Routes

1. Head to Thais and take the Boat to Carlin(110gp)
2. Walk to Femor Hills and carpet to Edron(60gp). The ramp to get Uzon is located here(You can also purchase the crowbar from Beatrice for 260 gps).
3. Boat to Venore(40gp)
4. Walk to Kazordoon and in deepest cave ride the Steam Boat to Cormaya(160gp, for the Kazordoon route to the ship, see here) - Alternately go back to Edron, to Cormaya, and boat to Kazordoon and back
5. Return to Kevin's Post office (cheapest way is to walk through Rotworm caves to Edron, carpet to Femor Hills and walk to Kevin's Post Office)
6. Tell Kevin you completed the mission

Mission 2 - Fix Mailbox

1. Get a Crowbar (can be purchased from Edron, Darashia, Kazordoon, North of Thais (Lubo) and Venore)
2. Take ferry to Folda(20gp) - North-West of Carlin (here)
3. Climb to the top of the mountain (here) and 'use' the crowbar on the mailbox
4. Return to Kevin and ask about advancement.

You are now an Assistant Postman! (cheaper parcels and letters)

Postman

Mission 3 - Bill Delivery

1. Ask Kevin for a new mission and receive a bill for one Magician Hat and a bunch of rabbits to be delivered to a famous magician. Don't bother skipping to the next step if you don't have the bill in your possession.
2. Walk to Venore and seek out A Strange Fellow below the Depot (here)
3. Talk to him and keep asking about his 'hat' (4 times) until he gives in and takes his 'bill' (when he says: "ok, ok i can't deny it anymore" reply with "bill") (he will spawn Rabbits before he takes the bill)
4. Return to Kevin.

Mission 4 - Aggressive Dogs

1. Kevin will tell you the classic post officer's plight - aggressive dogs. He will also tell you that they are running low on bones in the "Post Officer's Fund".
2. Get 20 bones (easiest way is to walk to Femor Hills and kill Goblins). To bring a moldy cheese from the goblins could be a good idea, as you will need it later.
3. Talk to Kevin, and tell him you brought "all" of the bones (he will take one at a time if you cannot carry all 20 at once). Ask about advancement.

You are now a Postman! (Post Officer's Hat)

Grand Postman

Mission 5 - Present Delivery

1. Ask about another mission. Kevin will tell you to deliver a present to Dermot on Fibula.
2. As directed, open the right blinking door and take the present from the chest. DO NOT OPEN THE PRESENT!! If you try to open it, you will get nothing and the present will disappear. Once it disappears, you can never get it back with that character.
3. Travel to Fibula to Dermot and give him the present.
4. Return to Kevin.

Note: In case you open the present, there is just 1 solution, create a new Character on any Premium Account, on the same server you are doing the quest, and start the quest with this character until you receive the present to give to Dermot, and then trade it back to the main Character you were playing with.

Mission 6 - New Uniforms

1. Travel to Venore and talk to Hugo. He is located upstairs where they are selling dresses and other wares. Look for Velvet southeast of the main Depot and Hugo will be upstairs.
2. Ask Hugo about 'new uniforms' and 'new dress pattern'. He will say he has no idea where Kevin got it from, and send you back.
3. Return to Kevin to say 'new dress patterns'. He will send you to Talphion in Kazordoon.
4. Go north to Kazordoon and talk to Talphion the technomancer. In Kazordoon, on the level with the rats, go to the west end of the passage west of the shops. Talphion is down two staircases and North. (See here.)
5. Say 'new dress patterns' a few times until he understands you. He will send a letter to Kevin.
6. Go Back to Kevin and ask about 'new dress pattern'. He will acknowledge the message from Talphion, and send you to Queen Eloise for the perfect colors.
7. Go north to Carlin and find Queen Eloise. 'Hail Queen' the queen and ask about 'uniforms.' She will send some samples to Kevin.
8. Return to Kevin and ask about 'new dress patterns'. He will mention the samples from Queen Eloise, and tell you to figure out what smell dogs hate the most. He says that Noodles, King Tibianus's dog has the best sense of smell.
9. Gather Moldy Cheese, Banana Skin and a Dirty Fur
10. Go to Thais and to Noodles the king's dog at the castle
11. Say "hi", "sniff banana skin", "do you like that?", "hi", "sniff dirty fur", "do you like that?", etc. Do this until Noodles spits. It may help to have the items in your hands.
12. Return to Kevin and mention "new dress pattern". He will tell you he is mailing the patterns to Hugo, and ask you to tell Hugo that they are ordering them.
13. Return again to Hugo, 'new dress pattern.' He will insult the patterns, but ultimately agree to making them.
14. Return to Kevin. Ask about advancement

You are now a Grand Postman! (travel discounts)

Grand Postman for Special Operations

Mission 7 - Measurements

1. Kevin will tell you that Hugo needs the measurements of all of the Post Officers (in any order).
2. to Edron to Chrystal (above depot, here) and ask her 'measurements'
3. to Carlin to Liane (in depot, here) who will request 12 Arrows
4. to Kazordoon to Lokur (North end of the depot) who refers you to his armorer Kroox
5. to Thais to Benjamin (in depot, here)
6. to Venore to Dove (downstairs in depot, here) who asks for Grapes to trim her figure (she requires one bunch, only)
7. to Ab'Dendriel to Olrik (southwest of depot here) who gambles with you to give his measurements (5gp per roll, bring some gold)
8. The cheapest way is:

• Walk to Thais and get the measurements from Benjamin
• Take the ship to Carlin (100 gps), buy 12 arrows with Perac, buy Grapes from Imalas, and get the measurements from Liane
• Walk to Ab'Dendriel and get the measurements from Olrik (Good luck with the dice)
• Walk to Kazordoon and talk to Lokur, who will send you to Kroox. Get the measurements from Kroox
• Walk to Venore and get the measurements from Dove (Remember the grapes? Here you will give them)
• Take the ship to Edron (30 gps) and get the measurements from Chrystal
• Take the ship to Venore (30 gps) and walk to Kevin

9. Report back to Kevin

Mission 8 - Missing Courier

• Kevin tells you that the mail courier Waldo is missing, and that you need to find him, or at least his posthorn.
• "Where's Waldo?" you ask ... He is in the Thais troll caves (here). You will need a shovel to open the hole.
• Once in the caves, go East and down the hole:

• Then go North and East past the Orcs, and up the ladder

• Waldo will be behind a door directly West:

• When you find his dead body, "use" it to get Waldos Posthorn.

NOTE: You will not be able to open the door until you have talked to Kevin about Waldo, so don't bother trying to find Waldo before you have received the assignment from Kevin.

• If you don't have the required 500 cap you need for the next mission, it's a good idea to buy a parcel from Wally and send whatever you don't really need to Carlin, since after the next mission the nearest city is Carlin. Now go to Kevin with the Post Horn in your possession.
• Take the Postal Horn back to Kevin and ask about advancement

You are now a Grand Postman for Special Operations! (Post Horn)

Arch Postman

Mission 9 - Dear Santa

1. This time Kevin asks you to deliver some letters to Santa Claus on Vega
2. Open the left blinking door and get a bag (it weighs 500oz!! and no one else can carry it for you, since it won't come out of the chest unless you have the capacity)
3. Take this bag of letters by boat to Vega and go west to Santa's house (here).
4. "Use" the bag on the mailbox (you cannot send "normal" mail through this Mailbox)
5. You will keep the nice red bag, but after you deliver the letters, it will be a normal red bag.
6. Return to Kevin for the last mission!

Mission 10 - Mintwallin

1. Now Kevin gives you a letter to deliver to Markwin in Mintwallin (it's a letter from his mother). Do not attempt this mission unless you can get to Mintwallin, through Mintwallin, and can handle 4 Minotaur Archers, 2 Minotaur Guards, and 2 Minotaur Mages at once!
2. When you are ready, go to Thais Ancient Temple and seek the route to the Minotaur city of Mintwallin.
3. Before saying "hi", its highly recommended to cast the invisible spell or use a stealth ring. As soon as you say "hi" to Markwin, he will call for his 8 bodyguards. You can also say 'hi' to him from the outside of the castle. This way you can lure a few at a time, or simply ignore them. Say hi again, and give him his letter.
4. Return to Kevin and ask about advancement.

You are now an Arch Postman! (can now use royal mailboxes).

For a list of royal mailboxes, read the page about Mailboxes.

player: yes
Kevin: Good. Go there and find out what taste he dislikes most: moldy cheese, a piece of fur or a banana skin. Tell him to SNIFF, then the object. Show him the object and ask 'Do you like that?'. DON'T let the guards know what you are doing.

Hugo again

player: hi
Hugo: Be greeted, player!

player: new dress pattern
Hugo: By the gods of fashion! Didn't it do that I fed the last dress pattern to my poor dog? Will this mocking of all which is taste and fashion never stop?? Ok, ok, you will get those ugly, stinking uniforms and now get lost, fashion terrorist.
