Just a minor suggestion, it's difficult to find, in this case Vladimir Yanovich in Krofburg. Who is he and where is anyone expected to find him? It would be very helpful if the packages you deliver said where to find the person your delivering too. For instance they might say something like 'A package for Constantine Sergey the wood worker', that way you know to look for a wood workers shop.

Could tweak them. Then again, asking other players for help is a cool way to get RP.

I am fairly certain the description of the barrels tells you it is for the Krofburg General Store -- that, or the job offer. Although I may be wrong, it has been a while since I have done deliveries.

Well that depends if there are other players in the particular town to ask, it would be helpful if the delivery items where checked to see if they give a clue where to find the recipient, also I didn't have the supply crates, it was a bag of letters.

Only one I have an issue with is the Dvergeheim dwarf. It's so vague that I'm convinced a lot of players would have no idea who you're talking about when asked.

It really doesn't take that long to find them. Admittedly the dwarf for the Dvergheim deliveries is the trickiest one, but he's right next to the entrance of the area he's in so it's really just a question of looking around a bit. I've never had a delivery where I straight up couldn't find the person I was supposed to deliver to with a bit of searching (under ten minutes in every case).

Well it feels like an oversight not to be told where to find the recipient in the conversation, or given a location on the item description. It seems a bit odd people are justifying having to search an entire town OOC to find who you have to give it too because you weren't told IC.

I agree. IRL you would naturally ask the person giving you the job where to take it, rather than hope to find out later.

From what I recall though, it tells you exactly where to deliver them on the item. Like "Supplies for Constantin at the Fisherman's Lodge" and the like. If you've never been to a town before, then sure you might have to look around a bit to find the place in question. It's been a while since I've had to really look at the items themselves when I do deliveries though, so maybe I'm just remembering it wrong.

I'm having difficulty now, this thread has helped. No PC I'm with knows.

The person giving the job should say, "General Store" the packages could. And, it's not like I can ask the NPCs where Vladmir is.

EDIT:

Still can't find the general store.

Edit: I found him.

I am bumping this to let you know that it was not at all clear where I was supposed to find Vladimir. At the time of this writing, I have not found him, but some helpful people in Discord gave me a spoiler. I wouldn't have figured it out without their help.

The mail delivery was easy because the guy was in the middle of the area.

I spent a while searching for the other NPC I had to deliver to because I didn't realize Krofburg proper was to the east of the Tent City. I thought Krofburg Tent City was the entire thing.
