How much to tip for a port?

All pretty solid advice. One of the things that pisses me off more than anything is when someone asks for a ride, and when I come from across the world and am 3 quarters of the way there, I get the "got a ride thx". If you ask for a ride, stick to it. Don't waste my time and yours, and do not send tells to 3-4 different porters at the same time and go with the one who shows up first.Also, if you're broke, or on a CR, just be upfront about it. Don't be like the epic monk I ejac'd last night who advertised he was paying for a port, only to disband and run away upon landing who responded with "sorry bro 0 on me" when I asked about the tip.

Name and Shame this epic monk.

Any monk who has an epic, should be carrying gems. Peridots for utility, Emeralds for utility and a bit more cash, Rubies for ballers.

If you're a 60 monk with an epic and you don't carry gems, you are a horrible monk. Your weight limit isn't any excuse to not tip a player you wouldn't invite to your grind group for saving you a 30minute journey.

Explain please, what are peridots and emeralds used for?

They are weightless currency, that stack and sell well. So that monk may carry currency without being encumbered by it. Easily turned into platinum by the porter at any vendor.

Every monk at high levels should buy a few stacks of peridots or a stack of rubies or some other high value gem for purposes of tipping porters, rezzers, buffers, and buying necessary supplies from a vendor as needed.

I see. I'm new to the server, so I don't really have a bunch of money floating around. Typically I carry just enough money to pay for a port or a rez. Something about losing currency to NPCs doesn't sit well with me.
