Gold Tipping PSA - Enchanting

A quest at level 80 gives 20g. Think of our interaction as a quest. You gathered the mats, and hunted down the enchanter. I disenchanted all the quest items I earned to level my skill - unlike you, who just sold it to a vendor for cold hard gold.

And yet, I have level 80 individuals giving 3g, 5g, and 10g tips. 10g was the tipping standard in TBC classic. This is WOLK classic baby, get with the times!

20g tip should be the MINIMUM and all those of you who have been giving 25g and 50g tips, from the bottom of my Enchanter’s heart, I thank you and wish you minimal server queue times and big fat lootz!

So please, be kind. Tip your enchanter’s a minimum tip. I’m sure this applies to other professions as well.

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Or tell me your price and if I don’t like it then bye. It’s a tip. I don’t have to give you anything.

Tipping less now because you’re asking for us to tip more.

I get it, you leveled it up, but the reason you get those tips that you call “low” is because you’re thinking clicking three buttons should grant you more money. Enchant >> Item >> Accept.

You can do this as much as you want, technically, earning infinite tips, if people keep bringing you the mats. At what point do you think this interaction deserves more?

5-10g is fine.

I haven’t even been tipped once making Titansteel gear/weapons. :duck:

I’ve always used Quest gold payout as a starting point and then toss a coin extra to the Witcher that can make my Sword glow! :wink:

I’m confused. Where is it stated that 20g tip should be the minimum? If this is your minimum, then state it up front. TIPS are for good service and for 50g or even 20g, you’d better do more than make an enchant.

PSA - demand a charging fee. Same goes for mage ports. Say 5g or whatever 20g etc don’t complain about “tips” like a service industry worker when you can charge it yourself.

Uhhh, then shouldn’t YOU be giving them the 20g?

In my opinion, flat fees should only apply to rare recipes that few people have. There aren’t really any rare enchanting recipes in this expansion. If you bring the mats and the recipe you’re wanting was simply learned from the trainer, I never apply a charge fee. All I’m looking for is a reasonable and polite tip.

tips by definition are not required. especially if they bring you the mats to make.

what you are asking for is a service fee, not a tip.

If only vellums existed and you could just sell scrolls on the AH…

We’re both the questers and the questees in this scenario. The buyer’s quest is assembling the mats, finding the enchanter, and their reward is their enchant. My quest was leveling my enchanting, disenchanting the quest reward, and finding a buyer for my services, with my “quest reward” being a reasonable tip.

Your definition of reasonable apparently differs with most.

Yeah, but the only reason you don’t charge a 20g fee, is because you don’t want to miss out on the 50g tippers and you want the gold of the 5g tippers too.

Then you should be telling people that. If you want 20g minimum for your services, then it is on you to tell people when you advertise your services. Otherwise the tip amount is up to what the other person feels is appropriate.
