How much money in general can a porter make a day on average?
 

Let's say a Lv40 Druid spends 3 hours a day doing nothing but porting people around, offering his/her services in EC. Ends up making a port every 15 minutes. How much would he/she make in average assuming modest donations?

Average donation is probably 50 plat?

you could make a lot.. its a lot like predicting population growth... make a good guess as to where the people desperate for a port but with cash are... ie Emerald jungle, EC like you said...

go Un-Anon.. you will be flooded with tells without having to ask. Port the person, then ask if people need ports out ... always have a passenger, and dont ask for money directly or even donations.. you will get bigger tips

hell no.

I'd say out of 10 portings, 1 stiffs you, 1 pays 100+, 2 pay 50, the rest 10-25.

Key thing is making sure you're one of the few people porting from an area. If there's 5 people shouting their ports from the EC tunnel, you'd better move to Overthere.

As a <Dial A Port> druid myself, I can say it depends where you're picking up from.

EJ evacs/ports from KC pay well.
OT pays reasonably well.
Ports from BB rings do not generally pay well (more lowbies, corpse runs to WC, they get lost looking for you too) :p

Lots of people want from ports to EC, I find it annoying to have to run from the WC rings each time but I'll do it occasionally if nobody is asking :p

Like other people have said, it varies wildly. I'd say on average, if you play it smart (hit up the right zones, right times of day, etc.), you'd make something like 500pp an hour. Can make a lot more on a good run but I don't think you'd make much more than 500pp on average. That's a real ballpark figure, though. Once nice thing to do as a porter is hang around in EC selling stuff and doing ports while you do it; this is why a porter makes the best EC mule imo :p

While you can't do it as passively, you can make 3k/hour giving PL, which seems equivalent to 6 hours of porting :)

You can't do this at lvl 34, but you can port. You don't see lvl 55+ Druids offering ports for pp.

Good point!

I've done a single port that netted me over 1k, full group out of KC. I've also ported full groups that have netted me 10pp.
