question about in-game mail system and alts

KarbleKarble Member UncommonPosts: 750

This goes out to those that play and can try this out, or may know already.

I know that in some games you can create alt characters and use them for dedicated duties such as various crafting or extra storage.

Can a player send via in-game mail system items and cash to alts? If so is there a cost to this and is the cost prohibitively high or easily manageable?

These questions are important to know since this would allow possibly bypassing some of the traveling requirements...not to say I would use this all the time, but....would be good to know.

Thanks for any reply.

    You can sent items and gold to alts at a very minimum non-prohibitive amount. Not really much different than other MMO"s.

    One thing to note though that is very different in Archeage is that there is very very little need to actually level alts. Since a single character can do it all by simply leveling the skills, the only reason to make an alt is to have more scarecrows but that can be accomplished in under an hour and besides paying the rent on the alt, there is little need for it beyond that.

    To lvl Alt is faster then get other 3 skill tree to lvl 50 on your main.

    Alts used mainly for crafting and spying, cause travel system is quite expencive and time consuming.

    mail is cheep. In AA RU each sent item cost 1 silver to sent.

    You can sent mail to any faction West, East or Pirates.

    This info from both of you is exactly what I was looking for. It just opens further play styles. My mind is spinning with possibilities now. Love this system

     

    Thank you both for the great replies.
