Typical port donation amount?

Pendelton · #1 06-13-2015, 02:02 PM

I have never been ported anywhere before and was wondering how much is the "polite" amount to donate for a port?

I imagine it sort of depends on the traveller's level. (A level 50 pc can usually afford far more than a level 1), but on average...how much?

If you've been here more than two months 10pp is a joke. 30pp minimum unless on cr.

10 - 20....gold? cause if i spent 10 - 20pp on each port i'd be negative. right now at lvl 19 i only have 60pp. I normally give about 4-5pp. I let them know beforehand how much i can spare and if they take it great, if not I'll check someone else.

Anyone telling you over 30 is "typical" is trying to set a precedent and gouge you.

Anyone telling you that you should pay 1p/level is trying to set a precedent and gouge you.

30p, tops. 100p for evacs.

40-50p is what I go with

Honestly, just pay whatever you think is fair. Sure, if you're new and don't have any plat to spare (them spells and weapons are expensive yo) just be up front. Personally, I love helping newbies out and would gladly go out of my way to help.

Sure, if I port a player who is twinked/epiced and they pay 5p, it sucks, but that's 5 more plat I didn't have before, and all I did was click a button. The 50-100p payments I get more than make up for it.

Plus, it's a game. I personally try not to get bent out of shape over things like this.

Tip what you can afford. I wouldn't go over 10% of what's in your bank, especially if you have <100pp.

Of course, if the porter has to run through more than 3 zones (especially dangerous zones) to get to you...might want to ask them what they want from you. Or relocate yourself a bit closer. But never let them clean out your bank account.
