I tip the TD firepot a few coppers each time I pass by.

Wow. I am clearly paying way too much for ports. I feel like unless I offer 100+ I'm just wasting a porter's time... This thread has saved me money!

Depending on where I am in relation to the porter I tip between 20-50p. Never done a port to EJ though and since I'm now bound at the fire pots I very-very-very rarely ever look for ports anymore.

Keep in mind that all wizards/druids value their time differently.

A druid/wiz that shouts saying they're porting, or one who responds to my /ooc about looking for a port typically gets a smaller donation then one that I /tell.

Yes, I'lll /tell random druids/wizards for ports and offer a specific PP amount for doing the port, if they're busy or don't respond I /tell a different one.

This is basically the only way I get ports...if you make educated guesses about who is busy I find most people are more than happy to pick you up. I usually do a flat 50pp if I am soliciting them out of the blue.

Back when I was about level 25 on my main, I /ooc needing a port from OT to NK. Some druid replied he could take me. When we met up and I offered him 25p he asked if I was a monk. I didn't get it at first. Then after he dropped me off and started sending me nasty tells about being a cheap bastard and cursing, I realized what was going on.

I think his exact words were ports are 50p minimum and 100p if he had to run anywhere. I tried to explain I was new to the server and if I had more to give I would but he just kept ranting. Kind of made me sad that someone would act like that.

A tip for ports?

A wizard once happily ported me to my destination for a corpse run. When I told him I'll tip him money when I get my corpse, he proceeded to say "IT'S OPPOSITE DAY!" and gave me 300pp plus a SoW potion for my journey.

Needless to say, he was awesome and has my undying gratitude.
