Friend has a wizard on blue, Hookrs. 50pp for a port, 150 for the full treatment (levitate included in Dreadlands) for the ride to EJ.

Probably will be haters for the price etc, that's just what is asked for his time away from leveling.

Those haters can either walk, or continue to send tells looking to get their port at a bargain.

Everyone's time is worth different things.

Consider that a "deal" for powerlevelling right now is 1k per hour. Let's assume then that 1k per hour is a fair hourly wage. If you consider a wizard/druid has to expend a minimum of 450 mana to group port, then gate, it will take them 2.25 minutes just to med that mana back. That's 37.5pp just for med time. Add in the additional running the druid/wizard has to do to get back to where they were, and 50p is reasonable. Any less and they are doing you a favor.

A similar analysis would show that 3-5pp is a "fair" donation for SoW, and 10pp is a "fair" donation for clarity.

I've paid 200 plat for a single evac from kc while i was already in kc and the wizard was doing nothing but sitting in kc. i didn't even get a sow.

there is no fair and not fair. People pay what they want when they want to who they want and people except whatever pay they want from who they want when they want.

There is only 1 undeniable fact.

Plat talks.

Pieces to the puzzle... Wizards =/= SoW..

The point wasn't being surprised over not getting a SoW from a wizard, the point was "I've tipped this much just for a plain port with no additional service".

[Vondra]

50p is pretty standard for a port isn't it? From anywhere other than EC anyway.

99% of the time if I get a port I'm getting one from OT via hammer. I usually give those folks 70p to port me somewhere which seems fine. 150p to port someone to DL and walk them to karnors for the EJ port sounds fine to me too.


On the flip side, I don't like when Druids (or shaman) walk up to me, cast sow on me, then sit in my face waiting for me to give them c2. SoW isn't a tip and I didn't even need it since I have jboots which are good enough. Especially druids, who I know have money to tip since they're porting people. =P. So don't do that if you aren't friends with the person.

I don't have a set rate when I port people. Whatever people give me is what I take. Unless someone throws out serious plat I make more farming than porting. I don't really port for the money, its more about being nice.
