Proper Etiquette When Getting a Port

[PabloEdvardo]

On cleric, I grinded 49 lvls to get 90% rez just to have people offering 10-50pp on average as a tip.

Meanwhile, druids complaining about not getting 25-50pp for spells they can cast starting at lvl29

Rough life, huh.

I typically always start these conversations out by laying out exactly how much I’ll pay them. Especially if I’m randomly messaging someone. It helps to start out with “hey, would you do x for y?”. That way no one feels weird. I usually will throw on some additional pp depending on the experience.

I gotta say, if you’re soliciting a port, you absolutely should be cool with paying more. If someone is sitting around blasting ooo that they’re available to port and tips are appreciated but not necessary, then that’s a little different.

1. If you are a low lvl and have no money don't ask for a port. Go lvl

I think people are skipping over this one, maybe because it's first on the list. I think this can't be overstated. It's less efficient to roam Norrath and better to just find some mobs and start grinding. Stop looking for ports and start looking for NPCs.

I just hope one of the takeaways from this thread is that people should stop getting their level 3 ported from one newbie zone to another.

Its 2020. Anything that was going to change has changed.

MAGICIANS DON'T TELEPORT

Holy fuck there’s some entitled people on this server. OP isn’t being unreasonable at all.

No, he's just being a dick.

I'd say 5g per level. At lvl 30, 15pp seems reasonable for a port as long as you come to the porter in a convenient way. It's different if it's an emergency or under extraordinary circumstances, though, where you'd pay extra for expedience.

CR? If Seal Team, tell them to bust out 50pp out of their 80k to buy a CR port ;D unless a chanter! The crack trade.

5gp/level seems to be what the green/teal crowd is coalescing around.

I usually "trade magicks" for Spirit of Wolf, because most Shamen like cleric buffs; most Druids are fairly appreciative of my efforts but the higher level ones just see it as amusing. It gets the message across, though.

As a seal team cleric, I find your comment hilarious. I'm completely broke -- clickies aren't cheap -- and the richest people are actually the enchanters, so they're the ones you should be gouging [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
