How much money in general can a porter make a day on average?

[Smalls]

Let's say a Lv40 Druid spends 3 hours a day doing nothing but porting people around, offering his/her services in EC. Ends up making a port every 15 minutes. How much would he/she make in average assuming modest donations?

Average donation is probably 50 plat?

hell no.

I'd say out of 10 portings, 1 stiffs you, 1 pays 100+, 2 pay 50, the rest 10-25.

Key thing is making sure you're one of the few people porting from an area. If there's 5 people shouting their ports from the EC tunnel, you'd better move to Overthere.

you could make a lot.. its a lot like predicting population growth... make a good guess as to where the people desperate for a port but with cash are... ie Emerald jungle, EC like you said...

go Un-Anon.. you will be flooded with tells without having to ask. Port the person, then ask if people need ports out ... always have a passenger, and dont ask for money directly or even donations.. you will get bigger tips

As a <Dial A Port> druid myself, I can say it depends where you're picking up from.

EJ evacs/ports from KC pay well.
OT pays reasonably well.
Ports from BB rings do not generally pay well (more lowbies, corpse runs to WC, they get lost looking for you too) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Lots of people want from ports to EC, I find it annoying to have to run from the WC rings each time but I'll do it occasionally if nobody is asking [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Which one are you? I've started using Dial-A-Port and it's a great idea but if I knew I was getting ported by you I'd either tip you extra or totally stiff you, you have no way of knowing which

[Ravager]

If you want to try to make plat porting, port from Overthere or Ocean of Tears and port during off peak hours when porters are harder to find, though you can make more plat per hour camping things like Shralok Bags, DA Idols, Hero Bracers, Ring of Shadows, Root Nets, Red Wood Wands and Hill Giants.

I tried Dial and they demanded 150p min for a DL+Evac to EJ... wtf man. Waited 10 more mins and someone else did it for half price.

Though, if I was a druid, Id do the same thing.

I am not sure who did that, but I never charge a minimum price. I am more than happy to do free ports or cheap ports, and advertise that. Sorry you had a bad experience >.< Apparently, we don't all share the same views. Send me a tell anytime and I'll happily port you for a lesser price! =)
