What the infinite resource quest unlocks
Postie Pete’s Letters for the Dead side quest unlocks repeatable deliveries that provide another way to gather resources in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Complete the introductory deliveries, build a Fellhollow Post Box at your base, and collect further letters to earn regional rewards. The demonstrated Fellhollow reward is Soul Fragments, making this activity useful when you need a continuing supply.
“Infinite” describes the repeatable delivery loop. Each reward still requires taking a letter, reading its destination, traveling there, and posting it. The mailbox does not automatically generate materials while you remain at your base.
The YouTube walkthrough of Postie Pete’s delivery quests demonstrates the unlock and subsequent resource deliveries.
| Feature | How it works |
|---|---|
| Initial quest | Complete Letters for the Dead for Postie Pete. |
| Construction unlock | Build a Fellhollow Post Box at your base. |
| Repeatable activity | Collect a letter and deliver it to its designated post box. |
| Demonstrated reward | Fellhollow deliveries award Soul Fragments. |
| Destination clues | Read each letter to identify the delivery location. |
How to start Letters for the Dead
First, progress far enough through the main story to reach Postie Pete on the route into Fellhollow. The Dragonwilds Wiki quest list and Map Genie’s primary quest guide agree on the relevant sequence: Dragon Slayer precedes Withering Heights, which begins with the Wise Old Man near Ashien’s Watch.
Map Genie places a conversation with Postie Pete before entering Fellhollow during Withering Heights. The delivery walkthrough shows him offering Letters for the Dead as a separate side quest.
| Progression point | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Slayer | Finish this earlier primary quest. | It precedes Withering Heights. |
| Withering Heights | Speak to the Wise Old Man near Ashien’s Watch and follow the temple objectives. | This route brings you to Postie Pete. |
| Meeting Postie Pete | Accept his request for help with the letters. | This starts the postal side quest. |
| First entry into Fellhollow | Reach a Purification Pool and remove Soul Rift. | You can then return toward the entrance to find the first letter. |
If you lose track of the first objective, speak to Pete again. His hint directs you toward a village just inside Fellhollow’s entrance.
Deliver all three letters in Fellhollow
The introductory quest follows a chain: finding one letter leads to a delivery, and that delivery supplies a clue to the next letter. Read the messages after posting each item so you know what landmark to investigate next.
The route below follows the Postie Pete delivery walkthrough. Use the destination written on your own letter as the final reference when navigating.
| Letter | Where to obtain it | Where to deliver it |
|---|---|---|
| First | A skeleton holding a book in an abandoned house near Fellhollow’s entrance | The post box in the withered village west of Vannaka |
| Second | Beside a small ruin near the spectral door by the standing stones | The post box on the approach to the standing stones |
| Third | A spectral sheep inside a nearby ruin | The post box at the base of the tower specified in the letter |
Find the skeleton’s letter
Return toward the starting area after cleansing Soul Rift. Near the entrance, take the stairs on the right toward an abandoned house. Inside, locate the skeleton holding a book and begin the conversation.
Start by asking whether it has something it should not have, then point out that you never mentioned a letter. The walkthrough demonstrates that later dialogue can branch, with several ways to obtain the item and other responses ending the exchange.
Clear nearby enemies before working through the conversation. If the skeleton dismisses you, speak again and retry the opening prompts.
Deliver to the withered village
Once you have the first letter, inspect it through the side-quest interface. Its destination is the withered village in Bleakfields Valley.
From Vannaka’s location, travel west toward the ruined settlement and find its small post box. Deposit the letter, then read the resulting clue. It describes a partly spectral leaf and points you toward a nearby spectral door.
The next search area is around the standing stones associated with the region’s story objectives. Look near the spectral door and the small ruin beside it for the second letter.
Deliver to the standing stones
Read the second letter before moving on. Its destination is nearby: the post box along the normal approach to the standing stones.
After delivering it, the next clue points toward spectral sheep. Search the nearby group, paying particular attention to the sheep inside a ruin toward the back of the area. Interact with that sheep to retrieve the final letter from its mouth.
Finish the tower delivery
The third letter directs you to a tower. Follow its destination instructions, approach the tower’s base, and look to the right for the post box shown in the walkthrough.
Posting this letter finishes the delivery sequence, but there is still a final conversation. Return to Postie Pete and discuss Letters for the Dead to complete the side quest and receive the Fellhollow Post Box unlock.
Build the Fellhollow Post Box
With the introductory quest complete, return to your base and prepare the materials for the mailbox. The delivery walkthrough identifies five ingredients: ash logs, stone, bronze bars, leather, and law runes.
| Material group | Required ingredients | Preparation tip |
|---|---|---|
| Basic resources | Ash logs and stone | Check existing supplies before making a gathering trip. |
| Processed materials | Bronze bars and leather | Set these aside when preparing the construction materials. |
| Runes | Law runes | Include these when checking whether you can build the mailbox. |
Check the in-game construction recipe for the required quantities.
Interact with the completed Fellhollow Post Box and take a letter. This starts the repeatable activity demonstrated in the walkthrough. You are now following the destination assigned to that letter, rather than replaying the introductory skeleton-and-sheep sequence.
Repeat deliveries for Soul Fragments
Every new delivery begins with reading the letter. Its text identifies the destination, which may be somewhere you have not visited during the introductory quest.
One demonstrated assignment sends the player to the miner’s cottage ruins in Coal Ridge Pass.
A particularly useful detail from the walkthrough is that a destination post box appears only when you have an active delivery for that location. Exploring an area without the corresponding letter can therefore leave you looking for a mailbox that is not currently visible.
Use this routine to keep deliveries organized:
- Read before traveling. Note both the named landmark and its surrounding area.
- Mark completed destinations. Add a map marker once you have located a delivery point.
- Plan around convenient travel access. Use nearby lodestones where available.
- Check the active assignment if a box is missing. A remembered location alone does not make its mailbox appear.
- Return for another letter after completing the job. Repeat the collection-and-delivery loop to continue earning resources.
The YouTube creator reports collecting hundreds of Soul Fragments during roughly half an hour of deliveries. That is a personal farming result, not a guaranteed rate. Destination familiarity, travel access, and interruptions can change how productive the activity feels.
The walkthrough describes rewards as tied to the letter’s region, but its demonstrated example is Fellhollow. Avoid assuming this particular mailbox provides every resource available across Ashenfall.
FAQ
How do I start the runescape dragonwilds new infinite resource quest?
Reach Postie Pete through the Withering Heights progression and accept Letters for the Dead. Complete its three introductory deliveries, return to Pete, and build the Fellhollow Post Box unlocked by the quest.
Does the mailbox provide resources automatically?
No. The demonstrated activity requires you to take a letter and deliver it to a specified post box. “Infinite” refers to repeating delivery jobs, with travel and quest interactions required each time.
Why is the delivery post box missing?
The walkthrough shows that repeatable destination boxes appear when an active letter sends you there. Check the letter’s destination before searching, even if you have previously marked a post box at that location.
What should I do after posting the third introductory letter?
Return to Postie Pete and discuss the quest. That conversation completes Letters for the Dead and unlocks the buildable Fellhollow Post Box. Posting the final letter is only the end of the delivery route.
Is there a guaranteed Soul Fragment farming rate?
The walkthrough demonstrates repeatable Soul Fragment rewards but does not establish a fixed hourly yield. Use your own completed deliveries to judge the rate, particularly while you are still learning destinations and setting up travel routes.
