What's the going rate for ports...

Mosharm · #1 12-16-2010, 03:37 PM

I'm still relatively new to the server and am curious on how much I should donate when getting a port(10P?)... I don't want to be that old Aunt that gives you $5 for your birthday.
Thanks in advance

Depends on what you can afford, usually a generous from what i've seen would be 1pp per level. I usually throw 75-100 if i'm busy and need to get where im goin (but im lvl 50) 0_o

I've only been turned down twice when offering 10-15p. That buys a ride from the vast majority of porters.

Now I wish I had an illusion to show me as level 1 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As a wizard, I receive an average of 20pp I'd guess.

Although I would never say anything when people give less.

I usually offer 30pp for ports. If I'm in a hurry that goes up.

I usually give 20-25, depending on what I'm carrying, but more than double that if I charter a flight (e.g., from WK to GFay to WC).

I used to give 5pp, recently I've been giving 10pp because I've started getting a bit more income. My main's level 37 and hasn't been farming or anything so he doesn't have a ton of money lying around. I haven't received any complaints. Also, if you're low level, people are usually fine with porting you for free.

I never advertise that I'm porting for money. If I was, I suppose I would take whatever was offered. So the guy offering to port to BB/WC/NK/Tox for donations should probably get in the 20-30 range.

Most of the time I am getting unsolicited /tells from people asking for a port. (I'd prefer not to use /anon). From those people, I am expecting at least 30pp. I'll take less, but I'll also remember your name. My time is worth more than 20pp.
