The stupid things I've done thread

[dansamy]

Another stupid noob mistake....found a nice fire staff/wand thingy. It's purple. Immediately had it customized.

[dansamy]

But your pants still make me laugh, Zeus. I at least have all my clothes on.

[Maker]

Clicked on a kit to identify an uber purple longbow drop...only to realize after i hit the bow that I had clicked on my expert salvage git..not my identify kit...ended up with nothing but wood....what might ahve been.

[Kordesh]

Only thing I can think of off the top of my head was upgrading my armor in Draknors Forge, salvaging my pants because I thought I had enough cash to buy the new ones, and then noticing the little platinum symbol in front of the gold...yeah, I was selling things pantsless for quite some time.

[butcherboy]

responding to a PvP *WE WANT IT ALL, BABY!!!* thread.

I can close to being pantsless once but I keep enough garbage sitting around to sell so I just barely had enough to buy new ones. I just needed on more piece of raw hide...honest

I also left town quite a few times without reloading up on salvage kits. Talk about a squirmy decision process of what to keep, etc.

[lornranger]

Hmm does salvaging runic hammer gets you runes?

[Asplode]

I bought a superior vigor rune for 17,000 XD


...and then quickly sold it back out for 16,800 after I realized how little 9hp is worth.

-edit-
Oh, and I went all the way through ascension with 30AL armor. Somehow I managed through while taking 166% damage.

-edit2-
burned 200g going into the underworld with just 1 guildie before level 20 trying to capture an elite skill.

He had life bond on me, and I was in my gimp 30AL armor. Lv29 creature comes up, hits me twice, we both die simultaneously.

[Leventh]

Sold my 2.5k bow to vendor for just over 150

[No Mercy]

Run to a corner, and my little pet + henchman blocked my way. Must quit mission cuz I cant move.
Dont know where to learn Capture Signet?

[Omega_2005]

Being in a party of noobs who didn't have 6 in the party then they run off crying to their mums that I couldn't do it (Stupid morons...)

Another one was trying to trade a bow which was unsellable due to value

[Honour_Shogun]

Making what I thought was a great character, a monk/el. Getting all the way to Droknar's Forge, thinking I could afford the best armor, and then trying to buy the resources needed to make the level 20 armor. Well, I sold everything but the leg tats. Oh, and had a holy rod that only does 6-9 dmg, and using that since pre-searing because for the life of me I cannot find decent monk weapons that are 1 handed and not require massive smite skill.

Well, I transferred everything to storage, and now that monk is d-e-d. I get to remake it, and not skip 1/4 of the quests, spend so much money just going to skill trainers rather than doing the quests, and not just spend cash willy nilly. At least I have a vague idea where things are now.

Kinda sad too, cause I think I had a decent healing monk. Oh well, learn the hard way

I do believe that's all you can do after you ID it. The only thing you could've not done would be to salvage with an expert kit, other that you were just unlucky not to get a rune from it, it ain't 100% guaranteed to work.

[remylass]

Got to level 6 before I found that if you hit the 'H' key, you could look at your hero and assign points as needed. I can't believe I did that.

Invested in all new armor, right before traveling to Yak's Bend that has even better new armor.

[Radical]

I have to say, I have salvaged a ton of stuff accidentally. Not to mention selling items accidentally....like my expert salvage kit.

I could use an undo button.

Heck, I bought Gwen the cape hoping she would look more tasty for the wolf....what tapestry?

[Shin Something]

lol. Its good to know I'm not the only one with noob problems.

Me, I just suffered from a mistake at the Temple of Ages

I just got in after failing to locate some necro for a mission and my party wanted to take a break, and find a village to recover from our Death Penalties, so we were led into the Temple. As soon as we got in, I saw this gigantic transparent Spirit-ish thingy and, out of curiosity, I clicked on it.

Immediately a loading screen appeared before my eyes, and I had to wait like 5-10 minutes for the patch, and when it finished...

I was dead. As soon as I regained control I saw my mes/nec dead on the ground, with two level 24 Shadow Warriors looming over my corpse, and a level 28 Shadow-something a little way off.

And THAT, boys and girls, was how I discovered the Fissure of Woe. In our next lesson, we learn about The Underworld!

[dansamy]

scorp,

I should've used the expert kit for a better chance of the rune.

[zemelett]

with the new patch and the rune traders I was looking at how much for a certain rune...just looking...so I drag the rune into the box and it says five hundred and some change...I thought thats not bad...I have 11 plat so i can kill 500....needless to say I didn't notice that it was 11 plat, 500 and some change...now Im broke...

[Sir Skullcrasher]

the dumbest thing i ever do... well

its a mission that i did, i was a level 11 W/E and i team up with a level 12 N/E and we went on the mission for altheas ashes. There were bunch of charrs protecting the ashes and we kill about 15 of them. But there were a load guarding the ashes. Two shaman and mulitple charrs axe fiend so we try to lure and kill them but it didn't work. After getting a 35% DP, i decided to just run up there and grab the ashes.. and it work... got the ashes, quest completed and 1000exp for me

I get to the point to where I'm supposed to tame the stalker and I can't because I already have a pet...ok, I spend the next hour trying to get the poor bird killed. Well, the bird kills everything I encounter either that or the monsters target me and I end up dying. Finally I get a couple of monsters to gang up on the bird and kill it....great, problem solved right? wrong. Still won't let tame the stalker. Go back into town, come back out, bird's there, WTF? Go back into town, abandon quest, go back out, bird's still there! OMG this is turning out to be a nightmare!!! go back to town, abandon secondary character quest, go back out, bird's still there, I'm befuddled, discombobulated, confused, perplexed, pissed, you name it...at this point I'm convinced there is a glitch in the game and contemplate erasing the char and starting over. Go back to area where Nente is...oh, who's this tamer guy??? Oh how about that, he takes your unwanted pets for nothing!!! Never felt so humiliated in all my gaming life.

I'm at work and I can't stop laughing! I think I lucked out because I was curious about who he was before I got a pet. I am actually tearing up I was laughing so hard.

Although, I have seen a lot of people asking how to get rid of pets.
