Porting Fare?

[azeth]

30-40 for a port, 100 for an ejac.

not a chance id ever pay more

if i REALLY need to get to Velious, I'm hitting my thurg pot. If I REALLY need to get to Kunark im hammering or hitting an FoB pot. If I REALLY need to get to plane of fear im hitting a swamp or Lizard Pot.

There is no situation where I actually NEED a port. You're a convenience and absolutely not worth more than 40p.

[jcbbjjttt]

I typically pay 100p. But I understand that is not normal. I frequently get a "are you sure?" Or "wow! Thanks!" For me a port is a huge time saving convenience and I am happy to tip well.

I would say, as a general rule, pay what you can and don't be stingy if you have more. Money (read 50 - 100p) is fairly easy to come by once you're level 10 to 20 if you need it. Go farm a few pp spots in your level range if you're "broke".

Usually a ruby. I don't always carry coin, but always a stack of rubies.

[khanable]

I give whatever plat value takes my inventory to be nearest 50 or 100p, while trying to be above 50p

So if I have 1223 on me, you'll get 73
If I have 1110 on me, you'll get 110

Being a DAP member, I really don't care what the fare is when I am porting..

If you can give me 3p, give me 3p..if you can't, don't! no big deal..karma pays me handsomely in return.

I was given a spell I sold for 9k for a port, I have been given gear that I still wear to this day for ports.

There is no set fare, nor a required fare. Whatever is fair, is a fare fair.

Ever wonder why there's no druids porting out of Butcherblock? It's usually noobs who aren't donating enough.

Meanwhile in OT...

[NizmerThafen]

I usually pay a base minimum of 40pp and then pay more based on the following factors:
-How brisk was the time between port request and service being rendered?
-What level is required to make the port?
-What are the risks associated with this port? Ex.) Wakening lands sometimes has risk.
-Were buffs provided?

It's a pretty dead zone a lot of the time, but plenty of druids do port in and out of here regularly due to the popularity of unrest/MM. I think it has a lot less to do with the potential tip amount and more an issue of waiting a while before someone needs a port.

I make it a habit to port into BB as well several other out of the way destinations when off peak to see who's around that needs a ride... but usually it's just more efficient to set your bind to a spot to base from and gate back as soon as you port.

If I'm on a toon other than my druid and happen to be 'stuck' in BB with no druid waiting right there at the rings... it isn't hard to dial one (though I'll usually run/take the boat/ use fire pots in TD / whatever)

[myriverse]

I never port.
