Typical port donation amount?

[Jimjam]

I remember on live, when I was just getting started (my friend told me to roll on Tallon Zek), I asked a porter how much was the normal cost and he said 200-300pp so I never again asked anyone for a port on any server. Heh.

I just started P99 I don't have 2 level 60s throwing gear/Plat to my toon, I have what I have made over the last month playing. If I have to call for a pickup I pay 10p and breeze. Typically 10p is 10% of my total plat.

That said more often than not folks refuse payment when they realize I'm not some 60's twink.

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.

These guys have it right.

I am always at the rings or spires when getting ported.....I do 10pp and have never been called out as cheap

Personally, being 45+ I pay 30 - 50pp out of courtesy. I can farm that in about 20 mins or less in a crap zone, so really that's not much.

At low levels (I am still new to P99) a lot of porters didn't even bother charging or just gave my 1 or 5pp back to me.

Dial a-port is your friend and they are ALL friendly people.
