I stuck with my presearing bar until halfway through prophecies when my brother came into the room and lol'ed at me...

And by presearing bar, I mean:
Conjure Phantasm
Fire Storm
Flare
Etc. etc.

Finished NF and Factions with Starter armor on a derv.Then finished Prophs with AL 40.

Come to think of it,I was pretty noobish until I made my monk.

Using up all my money & skill points on skills, buying them in the order the Skill Trainer was displaying them.
And yes, I was a wammo

Deleting my Warrior two days before they announced minipets and extra character slots (this was like 2 weeks before my war would have been 1 year old).

Spamming Flare in presearing and then getting to post searing and realizing that flare sucks

First dumb thing I did was around 37 months ago when I sold my first black dye drop for 250gp, I wish I had checked the trader but then again I didn't know they existed. Next "dumbass" event was when I went to pay some dude 2000gp for an item for my warrior. I mistakenly put the number 2000 in the plat window, effectively telling the game to pay 2 milliongp. This wiped out the 16k I had accumulated so far in the game.

1-I always put the disc in when I wanted to play
2-thought that selling my version of gold dye(which I later realized only worked on warrior armor) and farming charr hides were a good source of money

I made a Me/E cuz I wanted fasting... always wondered why I was runnin outta energy.
Also made a N/W with half Life Stealing, half sword skills. I never killed anyone in Ascalon Arena.
Also made a PvP ranger with an elite-less Marksmanship build and Troll Unguent.

Ok, not sure whether I've put this one here or not already - I don't think so.
Right when GW first came out and I was pre-searing I got several pieces of the same collector armour. I didn't know/realise that they were customised so I was offering to give them away.

I got called a noob and a scammer and I didn't understand why until one nice person whispered me and explained that armour was customised and could only be worn by you. So instead I started giving away the collectable drops.

Of course at that stage I didn't even know about post, yet. Wow, I sure do remember heading into post-searing.

Messy · Jun 29, 2008, 11:48 PM // 23:48

I got to Ascalon with my first character, my ranger, and went to the armor guy. I had seen snow somewhere and he was offering an armor with fur. I assumed this armor would protect me against the snow and cold.... so I bought it.... just to sweat my ass off in the outskirts of Ascalon.

Not really noob mistakes, just bad luck

-Initially making an E/Mo, because a large energy pool is good for monking, right?
-Deleting my fully decked Ranger and Necro before character slots were released in favor of PvP slots, forfeiting early birthday presents.
-Protesting about the evils solo farming. I've since realized that, if you want nice things, you should be able to earn them.

The Defiled Knight · Jun 30, 2008, 03:48 AM // 03:48

When I was in pre-searing Ascalon I got a black dye drop from an elemental......I put it on a water staff straight away because I didn't know they were worth anything.......the staff didn't even look that good with it.

– I thought SS meant “Soul Sucker” when applied to necros. Once I was asked if I were an MM or and SS. I wasn’t an MM so I said I was an SS (which I really thought I was). Actually, I was just a noob with a little bit of everything on my bar and points applied to all four necro attributes.

– I did Mayhem in the Market for the first time with my ranger, while wearing Ran Musu Gardens armor, a crap weapon and a noob build, wondering why it was such trouble even getting to the mission, let alone constantly failing it.

– Later in the game I thought that the place where you kill all the afflicted during the “Looking for Trouble” quest was an old abandoned guild hall. I thought I had to find and clean out more of those to get halls for the guilds that I had.

– I didn’t think you could change your secondary profession, so I deleted some characters that had just begun. But if they were level 8 or higher, I thought they were too high a level, so I just made another character of the same type in the same account, but chose a different secondary for them.

The really BIG, BIG mistakes….

– I annoyed the heck out of Anet, by constantly writing support to tell them my opinion on this or that (like which festival hats I liked or didn’t like) because with Morrowind or NWNs, you always stated your opinion on new clothes and other modifications that you add to the game. I never new about forums yet. I was a complete MMORPG noob.

– When Factions came out, I ended up buying 6 accounts because I wanted more than 4 character slots and three different guilds. This was prior to the update of being able to add more slots, and I had no idea about Prophesies adding extra slots and had no access to the original game anyway (at least not in English due to living abroad).

– Because I had just come from playing Morrowind, I made two accounts for just warriors and rangers (that was the fighter’s guild) and two accounts dedicated to the more sinister types (necro’s and assassins). This was a darker guild. Finally, I made two accounts dedicated to all of the mages (the Mage’s guild). Had to do some deleting and revising later.

I was all into making money, didn't work out in Pre tho...
Then I saw that a Girl's Cape was 0g, and bought some stacks of them to see if anyone would buy them for 1g xD...
Ofcourse no-one did, I still kept the stacks of Girl's capes and deleted them about 1 week before they got 250g at the Merchant in Pre xD...
Also, I deleted my first character in Post-Ascalon, I really thought I wen't to the bad side and destroyed Ascalon -.-

Hahaha. I'm so glad I went from Oblivion > Guild Wars instead of Morrowind, as it didn't put as much emphasis on sticking to the one playstyle.

I can't tell if I posted this before, as it must have been a while ago. I traded a Mini Kuunavang for a Charr Shaman... Then that for a Hydra. I ended up giving it away. Good times.

At least I didn't delete the new character holding the Kuunavang like my friend did. Ouch.

This is a pretty funny thread...

My most noob moments were when I tried to heal partners by clicking on the names beneath their characters, instead of the red square in the party box. I fought a lot in pre-sear trying to do this.

Yes, try to heal someone by chasing them with your mouse when they are in the middle of fighting 6 char. I often was casting heal on myself instead of my fighting partners.

Maria The Princess · Jul 01, 2008, 05:12 PM // 17:12

one of my friends told me a pretty funny thing he used to do...

he was trying to cap elite skills after killing people in RA.

and me, well... after i got out of pre searing, i still didn't know about instant mapping and i HATED having to go to another town since the run from piken to ascalon was very painful with starter armor and no knowledge about the skills system. of course i had to memorize the paths, since i didnt know how to open maps either.

yes, i was fighting from town to town instead of instant mapping. when i got really fed up i went to rage to my brother how this game sucks and how i quit, then he showed me the trick =.=

the thing is thet when i started playing, my brother has been playing for 3 months then (i started in october and my brother bough the game little after i THINK) so the hints and all that were turned off lol

Kinn · Jul 01, 2008, 08:25 PM // 20:25

Loaded up my Ranger/Ele with Fire Magic nukes because they did sooo much more damage than that silly bow

Oh and of course shoehorning my pet into every single build, because you know, pets and stuff, dawwww :3

back before dye preview. I dyed my 15k glads armor black. Decided i didn't like it so re-dyed it green. Then a couple of months later couldn't remember how bad the black was so dyed it black again. And then had to re-dye it
