Guild Wars 2

Do I have to be a certain level in order to change my mail carrier? I saw where they were going to have a snowy owl, and thought it would be awesome to have, but I don’t want to spend the money on it if I can’t use it yet.

Gem shop stuff is cosmetic and not tied to your character’s level.

Thanks! I think what confused me was the mail carrier tab in the hero panel. Said it was available at lvl 71. That’s probably for something else though.

Level 71? That’s pretty random and would thoroughly confuse me if that were the case. Usually, stuff like that can be used on the newest of characters.

That’s probably just the level where you get an unlock hint popup to tell you about a game feature. Most of those can be used from level 1 if you already know about them (not Elite slot skills, obviously, hence “most”).

If the owl doesn’t show up tomorrow, likely you’ll be 71 by next week anyway, assuming you play more than a few minutes a day.
