One thing I can't understand is why people have to charge for a Droks run, personally. One thing that REALLY bothers me is when people put this up as an advertisement (or soething like it,) "RUNNING TO DROKS ELITE RUNNER FoW R8 WILL MAKE IT!" First off, depending on your roll of the map, you could get a TOTALLY screwed up map that will kill you no matter WHAT you do. Second, what the bloody hell does FoW armor and rank have to do with running? That's just my bantering.

Now to the point of this post.

I'm giving out Droks runs for tips only! That's right, tips. This is my way of combatting all those greedy people... This is an always thing, and I'll never charge. So if you need a free or cheap droks run (depending how much you have or WANT to pay) just give me a PST. Call Andrana Hilomer or add her to your list! She's always available.

Got my now (gone deleted Messmer) and my monk to Drak's via tips. My 1st character did the "tradtional" old fashion way.

I do owe all the people who run for tips. Nothing against those who charge, I go for tip running 1st

While this sounds like a good idea, I don't like the idea of new players with their first characters running to Droknar's Forge. Your first character should play through the game normally, and offering a free run like this could make them skip a large part of the game. But your generosity is extremely kind.

Yes. It makes me so sad to see people in Droks that dont even know what ascension is.

Actually I personally share your views, which is why I tend to do backround checks first on my passengers. Any non-experienced people don't really need droks because they can't afford it and will be angry at the rest of the game for not giving them the money to buy it.

Just got a tip run to Drok's. I can't post the persons' name, but he/she was cool, calm, and got the job done. Was even surprised when I tipped 3k, plus a couple candy canes. I appreciate the runners who trust us, and do a good job.

Unfortunately, many do not share your views on tip runners. I used to run for tips, but its amazing how many people ditch you without even saying thanks, let alone giving you something. Either it was just my bad luck kicking in, or most people are like that, but I just charge now... it makes my life easier.

Well I had my first ranger get there the traditional way, and from there on I had a warrior and monk power run through the game. It took no time . Droks is the most important run of pwering through the game thumbs up to noober.

I almost always tip runners extra. The only time I don't is if my character JUST scrounged up the 3k for the Droks run, and got it asap. As I have no extra gold, I can't tip more than the 3k I have.

I've tipped extra plats before, even plats to guys who were running me for free. I always try to show runners how much I appreciate them, since I'd probably not play as often if it weren't for them. They get me to the good stuff quicker, so on my 17th character, I'm not still struggling to get a competent group for Bloodstone Fen, lol.
