How much to tip for a port?
Say you're some 20-something dwarf poking around East Karana and you wanna go to North Ro or WC. What's a fair tip in these kinds of situations?

I'm a freshy and, on my maiden voyage to the mainland as an Iskar at 20 I tipped 15pp. My guild said that was a normal amount. As a fresh start I'm sure the porter may do it for free or take less.

If you're new, 10pp is a solid amount if you really want to tip. Just tell them you're new.

Some <Dial A Port> druids have been getting a little greedy lately so I'd maybe not think of them first.
Personally I'd run to the NK spires and do a "/who all druid 29-49" and see what comes up and ask around, mentioning how much you can tip them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

I figure if you are sub 50 tip your level in plat for a port.
If you are in rags you can get by with tipping less without the hate. If you are above 50 anything less than a 50p tip is pretty shitty. If you are asking for an EVAC of any kind or for an out of the way pick up (like Field of Bone) you should probably be offering at least 100p. | ||

As a port-capable druid who doesn't advertise porting services, I expect to see 10pp offered or an explanation why that's not feasible. I don't even do it unless I'm not busy and feel like porting, regardless of the offer, so I'm not going to rage because I didn't get a big payday.
On my other characters, I generally run or take the boat unless I have people waiting on me for a group. In that case, I've given 20pp. It's been a while and now my highest characters are past 20th, so I'll think about bumping up if/when I buy a port next. | ||

Should always make sure the amount you intend to PAY is sufficient before the port. If you're porting someone without a clear idea of the compensation, you have no room to get pissed when you get stiffed.
