What's the going rate for ports...

[Mosharm]

I'm still relatively new to the server and am curious on how much I should donate when getting a port(10P?)... I don't want to be that old Aunt that gives you $5 for your birthday.
Thanks in advance

Depends on what you can afford, usually a generous from what i've seen would be 1pp per level. I usually throw 75-100 if i'm busy and need to get where im goin (but im lvl 50) 0_o

I've only been turned down twice when offering 10-15p. That buys a ride from the vast majority of porters.

Now I wish I had an illusion to show me as level 1 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As a wizard, I receive an average of 20pp I'd guess.

Although I would never say anything when people give less.

I usually offer 30pp for ports. If I'm in a hurry that goes up.

I usually give 20-25, depending on what I'm carrying, but more than double that if I charter a flight (e.g., from WK to GFay to WC).

I never advertise that I'm porting for money. If I was, I suppose I would take whatever was offered. So the guy offering to port to BB/WC/NK/Tox for donations should probably get in the 20-30 range.

Most of the time I am getting unsolicited /tells from people asking for a port. (I'd prefer not to use /anon). From those people, I am expecting at least 30pp. I'll take less, but I'll also remember your name. My time is worth more than 20pp.

This was my unofficial guideline:

10pp is fair when you are in your lower levels
15pp in your 30s
20pp in your 40s to 50
25pp or more for specialty trips, you are feeling generous, or you are in a hurry

Basically any porter who is mad that a lvl 17 donated 10pp for a port is an ass, but a lvl 50 giving 10pp for a port is just being cheap.

when i port for donations on average ide say i get 10 per port. some people give 50 or 100 some people give me 28 gold.
