"WTT FDS FOR IDS."

Haha, oh god. I don't even KNOW how many of those -50 HP cestas I merched before I found out people were paying ~6k for them.

I merched dye, but never had the pleasure of merching a black one.

My first major character was a healbot. Up until somewhere in Kryta, I carried Bane Sig -- my only non-heal spell -- and sunk all these points into Smite for that one damn skill.

Running builds that were pure attack with no health replenishment or energy management.

But THE dumbest was when my friend and I were both pretty new at the game. I'd gotten a ferry to the consulate docks, but she hadn't. We both had male paragons, so in a moment of brillance we decided I'd buy us BOTH armor!

And yes, I really did. I didn't even notice the "customized for..." thing until after I'd made two sets and returned to Kamadan. I still can't figure out why we thought it'd work.

At one point or another, I ran these on my warrior:
Mending
Vigorous Spirit
Balthazar's Spirit
Strength of Honor
Retribution
Live Vicariously

At one point I was running two maintained enchants; that was a stoke of brilliance. Strength of Honor made me do more damage, and Balthazar's spirit gave me more adrenaline. It gave me energy too so I didn't have to worry about running out.

Dye my shoulder pads black

EPO Bot · Dec 23, 2007, 08:35 AM // 08:35

Painting my roughspun hadwraps black.

Hell, it was the first bottle of dye that ever dropped for me, and it was in pre...

Mmmm...seems to be one of the more popular messups.

2 Years ago when i started i have my ele running around with a Pre Axe dyed green and her secondary for the good portion for the game as a ele/ necro... needless to say back then i was really great at minion/aoe.

That and i sold my black dye for 1g...... yeah

TheLordOfBlah · Dec 23, 2007, 09:21 AM // 09:21

I salvaged a 15^50 storm bow for a fortitude mod.. it broke.

Jongo River · Dec 23, 2007, 09:27 AM // 09:27

Deleted a toon with a Kuunavang in his inventory.

I wasn't even that new, but I'd been away while mini-pets were introduced and didn't know they had any value. I'd also only played one toon in Prophecies and not for very long, so I didn't realise the Xunlai box was shared and could be used to save items, before deleting characters...

The most dumbest thing i did as a noob, was... die to much!
Dont we all?

Angelic Upstart · Dec 23, 2007, 09:41 AM // 09:41

There have been loads, most of em occurred when i was uber noob, but there have been a few notable exceptions, like when i sold my beloved req 8
+30 wingblade sword to the merchant late one night when i was knackered,
click
click
click
click,
oh shit
heres a tip , never, and i mean never ever salvage or sell anything when you are so tired your head is nodding

Bought two elite necrotic tunics for my necro whilst drunk

Thats about all i can remember really,

Zamochit · Dec 23, 2007, 09:51 AM // 09:51

Deleted a rarely used character recently without stripping their Heros of runes and weapons ~ Epic Fail ~ that was pretty recent too, although I was half asleep at the time.

when I just got new ascalon armour I wanted a different head peice so I sold the one i had to some guy without knowing about the hole "you can't wear other peoples armour" deal.

Friar Khan · Dec 23, 2007, 10:17 AM // 10:17

I love this thread

PvE thing 1: I was terrified of the presearing worms that surrounded me whilst trying to recover Gwen's flute.

PvE thing 2: Trying to solo a hulking stone with my hammer and smite skills around level 5 (I didn't know about henchmen). ...did I mention that I was a Mo/E? yeah... :/

...and I gave a black dye in presearing. Black dye blunders are quintessential evidently.

PvP thing: I thought it would be genius to use my W/me as a heavily armored caster using ether lord for energy management. Not even droks armor in Ascalon arena got that to work.

On my second character (a female necro - wtf was i thinking) i had 99.6% of cantha explored. Then gave up and deleted her.

MirageMaster · Dec 23, 2007, 11:39 AM // 11:39

Darkinfamous · Dec 23, 2007, 11:51 AM // 11:51

billy brute · Dec 23, 2007, 11:54 AM // 11:54

Black dye -> merchant, ecto -> merchant. Peoples usuals

Meat Axe · Dec 23, 2007, 12:08 PM // 12:08

Surprisingly, I didn't do many terribly noob things when I first started playing. I did run an E/R with a melandru's stalker and spammed flare (I mean, each one did close to 100 damage, and it was spammable! Why not?)

The worst thing I did was a few months ago. I created a monk, since I'd never played one before and I wanted to make one character for each profession. I made my way through Nightfall Tutorial and the first mission to Kamadan, opened storage, and pretty much immediately moved some items on to her so I had some room in storage.

A couple of hours later, I was on the login screen, and I realised I didn't really like the colour of her hair. So, without thinking, I deleted the character. As I hit delete after typing in the name, I realised I had 3 sets of 15k armour stored on her, as well as a couple thousand charr carvings saved up for wintersday. I will never make that mistake again, I can tell you. This was after I heard about the HoM too (it was a month or so before the release of EotN).

Pleikki · Dec 23, 2007, 12:11 PM // 12:11

My Dumbest thing was I Played as war and bought Any GOld shield Without caring what stats they had just for They are gold.

HighPriestessIce · Dec 23, 2007, 12:14 PM // 12:14

Back when it was first launched I gave black dye to my Ex >< Cause I believed him when he said they were useless but it was the color he was looking for D: Infact because I believed him I gave many many Dyes to random people. And all I ever got was black and silver D: I'm still kicking my self for this years later D:
