I have not been very active recently but my main is a 60 druid, and I think the money has dropped off from what it was in the past. I noticed that once I hit 60 people gave me noticeably less money and stiffed me regularly, when I was lower level that rarely happened. I also noticed a dropoff in porting profits about 8m-1 year after velious dropped, which I assume was related to many old rich players retiring.
The best way to make money porting that I found was to avoid any areas with low level players. Let dap handle that business, the independent porter should be bound in KC, OT ramp/hammer hill, ToV, or possibly the EC tunnel. Succoring through SG is also good money but collect up front, people love to stiff on that route and there is a small but real chance you can die on every trip.
Sow is very little mana, I cast it on people who havent even asked for it, its got huge utility and should be cast for free. POTG however is a *huge* waste of time to cast on people unless they pay you significantly. POTG should be a much larger tip than a port; it costs 1200 mana and far fewer people can cast it.
