How much plat do you really make porting?

[Trelaboon]

Always hear about how the Druid is a good starter class because of all the money you can make porting. I am just curious how much you earn over say an hour of porting? Feels like it wouldn’t be that much but I’ve never made or played a porter.

Lets say one 60p port every 10 mins, which feels very low. 360p.
If you can do 60p every 5 mins, 720p

Often with only a couple dial on I get a "you're 2nd on the list, that ok?" That said, some tippers are cheap AF.

This answer is enchanter. You can level to 60 with shit tier gear and make tons of money. Druid might have a head start with porting cash but enc will surpass them pretty easily eventually.

Haven’t ported in a while but during quakes you can easily make 500-1k pp in little time. On peak hours I’d get around 250pp/hr in DAP. Some will claim 500pp, but that’s not my experience. Some don’t tip, some are corpse runs, some are newbies and bot enough ppl drop you big tips to compensate for that. Off-hours you’ll be lucky to break 200pp/hr.

You’ll make better pp/hr doing other stuff at 60. It’s a nice little extra income every now and then but that’s about it.

Its something to do in the background, it's good if you want/need a minor distraction now and then.

Enchanter is best but not everyone can play it well.

Druid is basically 0 risk and only requires level 44 which is stupid easy to get to.

If you're starting with absolutely nothing on p99 and are new to EQ, druid is the default "best" answer since you get a good mix of game mechanics and the flexibility of instant travel with a druid. This includes charming, which if you enjoy...port for money til you can do a baseline enchanter twink and have a much easier time leveling (pre-bought spells, etc).

Its always good to have a port bot in the stable...which can become a potg bot if you just happen to really enjoy druid.

Oh this wasn’t really a recommendation post. It was more just curiosity about the income potential from porting. It’s always talked up, but seems like it wouldn’t be that good. Was just curious.

50p is standard fare. Hope this helps.

I make 0 porting. Usually the druid casting the spell is the one getting the money.

Not really.
