Curse

I have made similar mistakes to these listed. For example:

1. Just today, I picked up a really nice purple axe. I tried to identify it, but by mistake clicked on my Expert Salvage kit instead of the Identification kit.

2. I once found a truly powerful wand, which I salvaged by mistake.

3. A long time ago, I had a number of Charr Hides that I was going to make fur from. In selling, I by mistake clicked too fast and sold them.

4. In the Fort Ranik mission, I was right by the end and was looking for the final wreckage to find the last component to the ballista. I saw one in the army of Charr, and thought that was it. It was only when I had died and I was being returned that I noticed it somewhere else.

This just happened to me yesterday. I was playing my 10th level Mo/R in Ascalon City arena, and wanting to be the good healer, I'd cranked up the healing attributes before going in.

Four hours into PvP battles, I ran up to a teammate that was low on health cause I had this cool skill that would heal for lots of points. I find him in this slugfest with about 6 other people. Cool, I'm thinking, and click the skill and instantly see seven +100's pop up in blue above our heads. I'm thinking "that was a lot of 100s". We only have 4 people on our team.

I roll my mouse over the skill used and see...

Heal Area - Spell Heal yourself and all nearby creatures for 30-150 points.

That's right, for the last few hours I'd been healing everybody. I'm such a good monk.

I'm not sure if it's even in the manual but figured out the following yesterday:

* That you may only apply one rune of one kind and achieve any sort of benefit. Hence, 1 superior fire rune and 2 major fire runes do no more than lower your health to almost nothing; despite the TWO Major Vigor Runes that you have also applied to your armour.

*That now that you have learned this mistake you need to salvage your armour to get the runes out to sell.

* That now that you have salvaged your armour and sold the runes you need to buy new armour and, you guessed it, re-do the infusion run! Thank god it's only once now.

Please learn from this, it cost me a lot of gold to learn this lesson.

My only other advice would be don't get drunk and play the game cause you do things like buy superior air runes while being completly sure that it says fire, oh and salvaging great gold items that you are sure you could never sell or use. Then wondering where they have gone when you log on again - Doh!

I sold a sword that was about 50K or more for around 1-2K

I've done that just cause I hate playing merchant.

Sir Hammonsweet · Jun 16, 2005, 02:46 AM // 02:46

yeah that's true, but I didn't consult anyone about how much something like that would cost, that was really my stupid moment.. If I KNEW it was worth that much and then sold it for 1K cuz I didn't have room / got tired of people saying their weapon is better or offering 20 gold for it, then it wouldn't have been stupid lol

When i first got to post-searing on the first mission right after getting there the other fellow in my party dropped. So i go exploring the area with the two others. We're going along killing stuff and their not picking up their loot. I keep asking them if they're gonna grab that stuff and they don't reply.
I'm thinking do i grab their stuff or leave it? This goes on for about an hour before i realized that Henchman meant bot. I felt so stupid but ran back and grabbed all the loot.

Salvaged alot of things instead of id'ing.

used the wrong salvage kit on about 5 different colored drops before i realized my mistake.

deleted a char before putting his gold in the vault, that was painful.

deleted a char after getting to post-searing without a res sig not knowing i could buy one at the skill trainer and having to redo pre-searing to get one.

fought my way through a really bad area to get to a rare materials trader dying numerous times only to realize later that there's one right outside fort ranik.

I think we all can agree that you are the king here. many made me laugh, but the thought of you running all the time in your underwear in missions...priceless.

My mistake? not many.
I made a mistake being the healer monk of the group when we encountered a pack of Bone Dragons. "Oooh....bone dragons! I must have a screenshot!"
at this time, i zoom in on one bone dragon, and don't see anymore that my party is moving in on another couple of bone dragons.
I scream:"Watch the birdy!" in chat. meanwhile, my group is completely sloughtered without healing.
They laughed at the 'watch the birdy', and i had some taunts coming at me after i ressed them. i had it coming.

I'm still LMAO at DarkZeus.

bought 3 fire runes thinking omg, i'll do so much damage!!

squakMix · Jun 20, 2005, 12:31 AM // 00:31

I bought two minor devine favor runes because some guy told me it would work.

>: (

I also sold a minor fire rune for 2 thousand gold somehow (stupid buyer). I love when there are two people bidding for the same item.

I like the "they beat me down like a tied up circus monkey."
That's just a very amusing picture for some reason

My most annoying thing I ever did was, when the rune trader just opened, I bought a Major Energy Storage rune, for like 3plat. Transferred it to my El, but didn't use it because I didn't get the Major vigor to offset the health yet.

Eventually, due to the rune trader being a git, I take a minor energy storage and a major energy storage over there to check on prices. He offers me 25 for it (for both actually).

Without really thinking about it, I just click sell.
Errr... I didn't want to do that...

How To Get Rich Quick, by Creston.

Lesson 1 : Do not buy runes for 3 platinum, and then sell them for 25 gold.
Lesson 2 : Actually, just ignore all Get Rich Quick advice by Creston.

Heh, a few idiotic things i did:

1. When doing the Piken Square Escort mission, i ran straight into piken square before the escort group arrived [suppose to stop before the gate]....had to redo the mission.

2. In a very sensitive mission with lots of Towers, i used Tab to select the next target, instead i select a target on the other side of the tower......i not only run halfway into the tower-army but alert the entire white mantle patrols into wasting our entire group.

3. On a mission with a poisonous swamp, we are right on the ending, just need to kill the boss, im the last one alive and a rez signet. Im poisoned and standing in the swamp and everyone screaming "run run run! get out of the swamp!" ...i die with the sentence
"wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwI CANT MOVE!!!" appearing in the team window.....

4. Using Necrotic Traverse to teleport into a ravine in the Desert to take a shortcut into Salt Flats. I die instantly at the hands of some centaurs and my henchies standing on the cliff edge unable to rez....had to redo the entire map.

5. Changing my attributes points mid-mission , not only to run out of attrib-setpoints but have them in skills that weren't on my skillbar....[and only then did i realise i have a limit on attrib point changes ]

Was selling Tanned Hide Squares to Merchant, Clicked on them, Didnt realize that it automatically puts up all of them for sale, and sold about 60 for virtually crap

gwden · Jul 02, 2005, 05:02 PM // 17:02

Stupidest thing I've done-- hmm... I guess paying money for this game.
