If you guys are on a first char (sub level 40) don't sweat too much about your port donation amount, but don't feel slighted if you ask someone for a port and they're not willing to drop everything they're doing and port you for 6p. Someone else said this, but join a leveling guild, usually guildies port each other for free.

If you're established on this server and tipping 10p a port well...I think you're a jerk!

Pretty much this. If someone offers me less than 40p I generally cancel the trade. YOUR MONEY IS NO GOOD HERE!

...or something like that?

Always tip in gold.

Minimum should be 30pp. If you are 50+, I think you should be tipping 100pp+. It is a service.

Jeez, at these rates I'm really thinking I should have made a Druid so I wouldn't be broke all the time haha!

What is normal for Druids to make in one hour of porting services?

a lot less than you think. One reason being you can't take 2 steps without running into a port bot on this server

I've learned a lot from this thread too. I remember back when I used to play on live, years ago, that a tip of 5 to 10pp was considered appropriate so that is what I've been going with. Since reading this I have taken to simply letting the Porter know how much I could tip and haven't run into any problems.

I just started P99 I don't have 2 level 60s throwing gear/Plat to my toon, I have what I have made over the last month playing. If I have to call for a pickup I pay 10p and breeze. Typically 10p is 10% of my total plat.

That said more often than not folks refuse payment when they realize I'm not some 60's twink.

These guys have it right.

I am always at the rings or spires when getting ported.....I do 10pp and have never been called out as cheap

I remember on live, when I was just getting started (my friend told me to roll on Tallon Zek), I asked a porter how much was the normal cost and he said 200-300pp so I never again asked anyone for a port on any server. Heh.

Personally, being 45+ I pay 30 - 50pp out of courtesy. I can farm that in about 20 mins or less in a crap zone, so really that's not much.

At low levels (I am still new to P99) a lot of porters didn't even bother charging or just gave my 1 or 5pp back to me.

Dial a-port is your friend and they are ALL friendly people.
