The Giftapult is a tool item which may be used to pack one tradable item in the user's backpack and deliver it to a random online player. It is represented by a miniature wooden medieval-style catapult.

Description

When used with an item in the user's backpack, the Giftapult is replaced in the backpack with a Loaded Giftapult. Once the Loaded Giftapult is used, the gift is sent, wrapping worse for wear, to a random online player instantly, appearing in that player's backpack as a Delivered Giftapult Package (of which has a green box as opposed to the blue A Carefully Wrapped Gift).

Loaded Giftapult Level 5 Gift This Giftapult is prepped and ready for delivery. Use it from your backpack to deliver the contents to a random online player. Gift from: [sender] This is a limited use item. Uses: 1 ( Not Tradable )

Delivered Giftapult Package Level 5 Gift This package was delivered by Giftapult from a random online stranger. You can open it from your backpack. Gift from: [sender] This is a limited use item. Uses: 1 ( Not Tradable )
