The Postman job in Free Realms is an easy, fun job to master. Deliver the mail, no matter what, and you too may become a postmaster in no time!

What is a Postman? Why be a Postman?

A Postman in Free Realms is a deliverer of mail: parcels, packages, letters, and more must be delivered throughout the world. A non-combat class, the Postman wears loose, comfortable clothing, speedy shoes, and carries a parcel.

Being a Postman in Free Realms is, ultimately, all about having fun. If you like timed mini-games, you'll love delivery; if you like the matching mini-games, you'll love package sorting. There are a variety of mini-games in the postman job, which makes it fun to level, although short.

The Mail Sorting Mini-game

The mail sorting mini-game is a "match three" mini-game, similar to that of the miner. Various types of mail will be scattered on the screen (the higher your level, the more mail types there are), and you must match them in chains of three or more. Once you reach the required packages (listed along the bottom of your screen), the setup will shift and begin a new stage, so you'll always be on your toes. If you run out of moves, don't worry - the board will shuffle itself!

While completing the Mail Sorting Mini-Game, there are a few special tiles you should be aware of:

  • Stars: Stars act as a wild card, allowing you to use them in place of any other package to create longer chains.
  • Lock: A locked tile may be matched, but must be used twice to disappear. Upon the first match, the lock will disappear; the second match will remove the tile.
  • Solid blocks: These blocks cannot be removed, although will disappear if they reach the bottom.

Mail Delivery

The mail delivery mini-games are all different. During them, you will have various abilities. The two most common are toss mail and toss bone.

Tossing mail will throw the mail at its intended recipient, or at their post box. You must target the box by clicking on it before tossing the mail in order to deliver it.

Tossing bones drops a dog bone at your feet. This is used to distract dogs when gathering or delivering mail; for a few seconds, they will chase down the bone instead of you. If a dog does chase you and comes in contact, they will knock you down, stunning you for several seconds.

You will also be asked to gather mail many times. Mail bundles will appear as green dots on your mini-map, and will show with bright sparkles when you're near. Simply click on them to pick them up.
