Tipping for Ports: Apparently I've Been Doing It Wrong

[skorge]

There's like double the amount of druids vs any other class in the game now. Friend one of them. Free ports for life yo.

Why do I gotta be Mr. Pink ?

I’m probably doing it wrong myself....but this is my donation rules for BLUE.

Sow and a basic buff or two thrown on me - tip 0. I never get paid for these and I never expect to be paid for them. The only exception here is maybe breeze, clarity or a mega hp buff and I might tip 20-50 for these.

Ports - 1pp per my lvl up to 50pp max. I’ll pay 50 extra if the Druid or Wizard need to run or spend time waiting. I’ll also tip 50 extra if they evacuate me as well since I view that as two ports.

Rezzes - 100 minimum and that’s if they’re in zone or 1 zone away and body is brought to them. If the cleric has to get my body or goes out of their way to Rez me I’ll pay 300-500 minimum.

Corpse Drags - 50p minimum but usually around 100.

Corpse Summon - regent cost + 50-500 depending on how much of the Necro or SKs time I use.

On GREEN/TEAL I’d still do 1pp per lvl for ports and whatever I could afford on the rest. I’d be straight up with the person beforehand so they could back out if it wasn’t worth it to them to help me.

I think 20-25PP should be a pretty fair range right now on green, assuming the druid/wizard was actually advertising for ports and didn't have "somewhere else they'd rather be". At least double if not.

On Green/Teal I must be playing the wrong game. I've always been told by the folks in my guild and even by some of the teleporters that 4pp or 5pp would suffice as a tip. I've never heard of this 1pp per character level. I didn't even think people wanted that much money for a port. Wow all this time I must have been tipping wrong if that's the expectation. These porters should just PUT the amount they want instead of saying "FOR TIPS".

The one plat a level thing is a blue ritual not green.

[Nitsude]

I would say 0.5p per level is a good minimum standard at this point in the game. If you are feeling more generous that's great.

You can certainly pay less if you're so inclined, but you also risk being ignored on future port requests if that becomes your reputation.

[Firepuff]

I think 5-10 pp would be fair, if the porter isn't busy, not everyone is rich. Corpse-runs are free.

Of course if there are reagents involved, like plane of hate and such, I expect the customer to provide those as well.

If the porter is busy, then I wouldn't expect ports from him at all...unless he was a guildie/friend and the customer did all the legwork.

[Ingosoff]

You get it all wrong. It is port energy related: 1pp per weight unit. So monks port for 15 and well an ogre warrior 100+

[aaezil]

On green/teal 5-20pp per port depending how far along you are monetarily. On blue 30-50pp cause 10 years of mudflation.
