If your in a top end raiding guild and tip less 50pp you are asking to be put on an ignore list and have an extremely hard time ever getting port. If your a new player and mention it or on a corpse run, and mention it its likely you'll get free ports or maybe even free gear. I gave a new guy 500pp worth of gear recently that I found out was a new player. Covered all of his cloth/empty slots. Most people in EQ are fairly generous but hate scrooges.

Do you porters consider 6 peridots as an appropriate tip from a level 60 character?

Some will complain about it.

For those that are sarky after a decent cash value tip I like to carry a few pearl necklaces on me to 'boost' my donation.

People don't realize you aren't paying for mana. You are paying for the time saved from you not having to run through zones and hoping you don't have to wait on a boat to arrive.

I so totally love how almost all these replies always seem to get off topic. It's a riot to read through them while at work.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it

Yes, no new players allowed, only people that already know the unwritten rules


(I so hope you were being sarcastic)

When I'm getting ported on any of my lvl 50+ characters I always try to tip 100pp. Usually these ports are to get to A) A raid, where i have a chance to get some loot or whatever or B) a farming spot where I'm going to make that 100p back in like 10 minutes.

Personally i feel if you have more than 10k in the bank and can't shell out 100p to a dial a port you're cheap.

With all the varied replies it seems best for everyone to just be straight forward - you want a port ask if what youre paying is acceptable - offering ports, be up front about your minimum - in either case if youre not up front about what you expect prepare your expectations to not be met
