What if you are doing multiple things for one person? AS a jewelcrafter I'm always pretty astounded that people come up to me and have me cut a full complement of gems for their entire gear and then give a 10g tip.

For me tipping is about time spent. That's why I never advertise my jewelcrafting profession because I would make more money selling gems on the ah, or killing wolves underneath dalaran.

If its more than one, I personally would tip around 100g or more. Simply for taking so much of your time.

I have a friend who is a Scribe on one toon and a JC on another. He saw a hunter in Trade looking for a JC. She had all green gems in her gear, her GM had given her crap and told her to get better gems or she was no longer welcome in the Guild raids. So she was looking for a JC. He spent nearly an hour working with her, suggesting what gems she should get etc. She bought all of the mats, he cut all of the gems for her. Then he logged over to his other toon and made all new Glyphs for her as well, again she bought the mats that he told her he needed. In return for his time, she tipped him 1000g. I appreciated it just hearing it. Not that I think everyone should tip that much, but tipping is all about respecting someone else's time, and the skills that they are providing you. I was happy to hear that she had respected his time, and I am sorry that yours is not, ToyCristopher.
