If you are a new level 10, you should be able to afford 10 plat for a port or you aren't looting mobs and/or selling anything that drops. A stack of bone chips are 10 plat. A high quality bear pelt is like 30 plat which you can get off a level 4 or 5 bear. Basic loot adds up to an ok amount. Caster spells are over priced at lower levels so that might be the only excuse. Once you hit 20, you should easily be able to afford 25 plat. Mid 30s you can probably already afford 50 plat.
If the person porting is actively looking to port people and you run to them, then I think 50 plat is fine even at level 60. If the person is actively porting and has to go out a little out of their way to get to you, or run somewhere not too far for an EJ, then you should tip 100. If the person is currently not porting, you should double whatever price you fall under. If you make them go really far, triple it. Don't send a porter a tell who is in EC to come pick you up in CoM or Sebilis and then hand them 20 plat. Finally, if the person porting has to go out of their way at all you can always tell them how much you are going to donate first. Maybe you just happen to not have much on you, or are legitimately broke rather than a cheapo. If the person wanted me to pick them up in CoM and said right away they can only give me 20 plat... if I was not doing anything I might be nice and go port them for it. But the amount I get wouldn't annoy me when I got there since I knew ahead of time. | ||

Erica must be a trustfund baby. I was broke until level 30. I didn't see 10pp until level 15. No one actually buys bone chips except to support a newbie. I have (literally) 8 bags full of them.
I pay all different amounts based on how much at I have the time. Tips range from "Can I get you double next time?" to 200pp. My basic tip is 30-50 if they are porting multiple people. If they come to me, I tell them a price before they start running. I also have a porter, and the only ones that piss me off are people w/ fungi's on a level ten who tip 5-15pp. And some of these big guild guys. I think they usually just forget so I let the slide the first time, then you realize that some of them just.. don't tip. | ||

We seem to be about on the same page lecompte. Though... you didn't see 10pp until you were level 15? I find that very hard to believe. Did you loot nothing you killed? Those rusty weapons add up. Cracked staff is over 1 plat. The other staff level 3-5 carry is like 6 gold. Even if you didn't sell any bone chips or pelts (I didn't.. I wasn't aware they were worth anything) you just weren't trying.
Only excuse in my opinion is if you are a caster as I already mentioned cause the spells are over priced. | ||

As a porter, if I'm not in a rush and I'm headed out, I offer free ports to where I'm headed and I'm certainly not immune to a good story for why someone wants a ride but I'm aware that it's an imposition on the porter's time and play, so that's worth something. | |||

I think you have to know what you're doing to have 10s of pp by level 10. For someone who's never played before it might be difficult though. Especially if you play a caster. Every plat counts at that point, which is why I used to hoof it instead of looking for a port.
