General sentiment is 1p per level, but as a 38 druid just tell me you're new and I'll take you for free-

Porting as a DAP Druid on Blue has jaded me to this. I've seen a lot of cheap, conniving bastards take off their gear to try and swindle me by asking for a CR, or claim they're new for a discounted price.

Personally, if I can't give the porter at least 1p per level, I'll just take the boat. And if they have to port somewhere to pick me up first, I throw in some extra plat on top.

Problem is that mid20s range - especially for melee classes. Mobs still don't drop much coin loot and 25pp for a port can be significant. 50p for a level 50 is double the amount but far less significant in terms of a players total bankroll
I've been paying 5gp/level on my Shaman (36th level) and always meet my Porter at the rings and don't keep them waiting
I think that's a fare fee for the service rendered.
