My third tip: Always pay in platinum. Never gold. Paying in gold is a slap in the face. When you pay in gold, you're wasting even more time of the player who is helping you, because now they have to go to the bank to change it. If you don't have the platinum, precious gems are good as well as jewelry that can be vendored. Equipment is an okay alternative, if the person giving the services can use it, but if they can't, it's again a waste of their time to have to sit in EC and try to auction it.
Pro tip : There are a lot of druid rings with vendors at them. Say someone gives you 300g as a tip - you can buy a couple 15p emeralds, which will come out of your gold, then sell the gems back to the vendor for platinum. That may seem like a massive inconvenience but it only takes about 20 seconds.
