My first character was a warrior, and i was killing everything in pre ascalon, wasn't doing any quests and wondering why i lvl so slow. Day after I made and elementalist, left the pre ascalon on lvl 4 and continued with plot by my ele using empathy and chaos storm as my main damaging skills. Also I weren't using any henchmans, i remember how i was happy when i managed to kill a group of lvl 3 grawls who had 2 monks

Anyway i made a necromancer, reached the lvl 20 and deleted her because i tought she was ugly :/ Then i realised i have to go thru everything again. Then, another necromancer, mm wanna be,i wondered why other mms always have energy for their minions,and then i noticed soul reaping. Oh,and buying FDS for 4k, about 10-20 damage and thinking I'm pro. Good old days, i wanna go back ;(

Dying my necro's chest armor black in pre. I thought that the black dye was worthless cause it only sold to the merchant for 1g.
......Then i found out in post it was going for around 15k.

I destroyed my 15k platemail when Factions came out. At the time plate mail was completely inferior to the armor sets in Factions... Couple months later they updated it.

I still have my old warrior's 15k sets in storage. It took me three sets to decide on primeval. I did, however, destroy my ranger's old armor, which was not a good idea, as I could have used it for an alternate build.

I was never a "Noob" a Noob is a complete idiot who never learns and just wants to piss people off. A "Newb" or "Newbie" however (Which means your New to something), well i missed the Festival Hats for Halloween and Wintersday 2005 because i didn't know what day they gave the hats and also i didn't think Halloween would give anyone hats since it's not a big holiday.

Back before I had mastered the chat channels, I thought the trade channel was actually the PM channel. So when I first zoned into presear I saw all these "pm's" of people trying to sell me stuff. So naturally I started pming (literally) them back saying "no! i won't buy your crap! stop whispering me!". I probably confused a ton of people.

When Factions came out and they speeded up the leveling process I found it weird that I was already in the same area as the level 20s. There were too many of them to be "perma pre" characters so I deleted my level 12 assassin (who was actually on his way to earning survivor, which I didn't know was such a big deal) and remade him. Then I learned that level 20s could come back to the newbie area in Factions whenever they wanted.

Also had a bunch of monk superior runes back when they were worth a ton of money and sold them to the rune trader for cash. After getting about 150-200k, me and a friend start a guild and buy a guild hall that cost around 125k. The guild fell through by the end of the month.

I think I went through about half the game on my ranger speccing in marksmanship, beast mastery, and healing prayers bringing Power Shot, Penetrating attack, healing breeze (which was [b]way[b] better than troll because I can cast it on other people!) orison of healing, charm animal, comfort animal, and resurrect. Didn't even KNOW about expertise and didn't use druid's armor. This was, btw, waaaay before insignias ever existed.

However, I will say that I was fortunate enough to have my friend tell me about black dyes before I found one

Oh man, back in the days, whoa...

Well, I recall being asked to bring my own e-mngment on my original character AMD ZEN (long since deleted Ele I had), and I didn't know about attunements. I brought Mantra of Recall, my only elite. LOL. /FAIL!

I rolled fire/ranger BECAUSE expertise, at the time, discounted other class's spells too.. but then I realized that I was less effective than a regular Elementalist..

My most nub moment would be thinking that 2k was a lot money and offered that much for a high-end item only to get laughed at..

I salvaged my 15K judge's set for runes to get some money to get the -50 offhand not knowing how easy and cheap it was to get >.>

After that I made back my money and got 15K saintly which I use rarely.
