Typical port donation amount?

[Jimjam]

Tip whatever its worth to you. So if you don't want to tip anything I guess that means the port isn't worth anything to you so why are you taking it?

Perhaps you had a really hard corpse recovery for you and a friend and you'll drop the 300pp you had on your body. Most of the time it won't be worth that much.

On the flip side, a lot of people are very cool and will help you on a corpse run for free if you are hanging out near a druid hotspot (Misty Thicket/Rivervale).

The bank in Rivervale is a good place to hang out when you need a CR port as often druids are coming in at the end of a job to do some banking and then are free to help you out. Whilst in town you can restock any supplies you want (food, bandages, invis pots, arrows and most importantly booze!) but also remember to dip into your bank so you can actually pay for your CR port.

When they see you drunk and naked they will probably refuse your money anyway!

A little late to this party but I usually tip about 20p. I'm still new-ish and every piece of plat is valuable to me so even that 20p can feel expensive a lot of the time.

If you guys are on a first char (sub level 40) don't sweat too much about your port donation amount, but don't feel slighted if you ask someone for a port and they're not willing to drop everything they're doing and port you for 6p. Someone else said this, but join a leveling guild, usually guildies port each other for free.

If you're established on this server and tipping 10p a port well...I think you're a jerk!

Always tip in gold.

Pretty much this. If someone offers me less than 40p I generally cancel the trade. YOUR MONEY IS NO GOOD HERE!

...or something like that?

20p - 50p for a port.

That's 20p - 50p more than what people pay for 96% rezzes....

Really? I always tip 300p for a rez that involves movement of any sort within the zone, and most of my friends tip more than I do. If someone is standing at KC ent just chilling though I'm probably not going to tip 300p for a manafree click. For sure 100p though or something.

Minimum should be 30pp. If you are 50+, I think you should be tipping 100pp+. It is a service.

Jeez, at these rates I'm really thinking I should have made a Druid so I wouldn't be broke all the time haha!

What is normal for Druids to make in one hour of porting services?

a lot less than you think. One reason being you can't take 2 steps without running into a port bot on this server

I've learned a lot from this thread too. I remember back when I used to play on live, years ago, that a tip of 5 to 10pp was considered appropriate so that is what I've been going with. Since reading this I have taken to simply letting the Porter know how much I could tip and haven't run into any problems.
