| Parcel | ParcelDeliveryDelay | 30000 | Sets the time that a player must wait between sending parcels in ms. |
| Parcel | ParcelMaxItems | 50 | The maximum number of parcels a player is allowed to have in their mailbox. |

There are Several merchants across Norrath which can be enabled for parcel management.
Installation¶
Parcel functionality requires:
- SQL Updates. Please run the sql file located at (https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/tree/master/utils/sql/git/optional). The file is 2024_04_20_Parcel_Merchant_Updates.sql. This will update the is_parcel_merchant flag to '1' and also update their display name.
**Please note: The sql update uses npc ids. If you have made changes or modified your npc ids, you may need to change/update.
- Opcode updates. Depending on your installation, opcodes may require manual updating. They are found in \assets\patches\patch_RoF2.conf within your installation. The source opcodes are found at https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/tree/master/utils/patches
Defaults¶
There are several defaults as noted within the rules above.
- A player can only have 50 parcels at a time.
- A player can send a parcel once every 30 seconds
- There is a pruning system to automatically delete parcels after a specified period of days. This is disabled by default.
- A player will recieve a message when a parcel is delivered, and on login.
Admin Commands¶
There are several admin commands to assist GMs.
-
#parcel listdb [Character Name]
This allows the GM to query the character_parcels table to determine what parcels are available for the player identified. -
#parcel listmemory [Character Name]
Similar to above, though queries the in-memory version of the player's parcels. This is used for troubleshooting primarly. Further, this command will only function if the Character is in the same zone as the GM. -
#parcel add [Character Name] [item id] [quantity] [note]
Allows the GM to send an item to the Character Name. The Character does not need to be online, or in the same zone.
Furthermore, the GM can send No Trade items. In order to send money, please use an item id of 99990 and note that money is sent as an amount of copper.
Quantity is valid for stackable items, charges on an item, or amount of copper. -
#parcels details [Character Name]
Allows for further querying of parcels assigned to a specific character.
For Example:
-
To send 12p5g3s1c to Player1
#parcel add Player1 99990 12531 Here is your Money! -
To send a Fine Steel Jutte to Player3
#parcel add Player3 6941 1 Enjoy your Jutte
How it works¶
A player needs to find a merchant that notes 'Parcels and General Supplies'. Right clicking on such a merchant provides a new merchant window, with a Parcels Tab.
