your biggest waste of money was buying fow armor...

I would say when i was lagging horribly bad when i first got to drokners forge, and i didn't hear the little sound after you buy armor, so i keep clicking on the boots i want - and i have plenty of crafting materials in my inventory...but i keep clicking...and clicking...then i decide to restart my computer i get back on there and my necros inventory consists of 11 pairs of tormentors boots, with no money left over for the other 3 peices of armor.

Wasting 20k in dyes while Orange just looked the best

axe · Mar 21, 2006, 01:46 PM // 13:46

Sold a sword for 80K then bought it back the next day for 130K

Spent 100K on dye trying to dye a chaos axe black

Put a HP + 30 Pommel on a sword with HP + 29

Made a warrior/mesmer and equipped him with excellent items (customized of course) and 15K armors then decided I wanted a Warrior/Monk to farm with so I made a new Warrior/Monk and fully equiped him, then a guild member told me you can switch your secondary in the desert. (this one still hurts)

trecca · Mar 21, 2006, 03:23 PM // 15:23

15k Drakescale (full set)... I used it only for some Barrager/Pet run in tombs.

I had a couple of incidents where I wasted money.

- When first started my warrior back in June I so wanted a Fellblade but they were really expensive.
I was able to buy a purple one 11>50 for 40k and then paid 50k for for a 29 health pommel.
Later that day I found a 12>50 Fellblade for 90k and it was gold. I had to have the gold one. I tried to salvage the purple one and all I got is iron

Total plats lost = 90k (pommel+purple fellblade).

- Buying 15k Enchanter gloves just a few minutes after I woke up one day. Only to realize that they are the same anyway if i bought 1.5
Glad I did not do the same mistake with mesmer fow and wasted 15 ectos and 15 shards
Total plats lost = 13.5k

- I so have a bad luck with drops, and after numerous trips to NUW I decided to buy Victo's Axe and Blade.
Total plats lost = 170k since they can now be had for less than 50k for both.

- I created a Ranger on the second account and thought to myself that getting desert bows would be enought and I would not care about the skin.
I bought tons of mods and customized all the bows I got (long, short, composite.. etc etc)
I then loved the Ranger profession and started getting greens and other skins. The kick is that you cannot slavage collector items. It would not have been a total loss if I least got one mod out of each item.

I'm sure there is more but cannot think of any now.

lol, I know what you mean.
That was my first 15k warrior armor and I cannot stand it now.
I wont salvage it but I hate wearing it.
Looks fine from the front but its so damn ugly from the back.

Moa Bird Cultist · Mar 21, 2006, 05:43 PM // 17:43

Spent 100k on a crystaline sword i dont even use or bother to show off, (it has sundering,) to the point that all my guildmates have forgotten I've got one

Getting my, (female,) monk 5 pairs of shoes. Because you can never have enough shoes if you're a girl

Spending 35k on a rare twin hammer then selling it to the merchant, (intentionally,) a month later.

And of course, buying a full set of black dye for one of my ele's Al15 pyro armour then deleting her.

Over the past 9 months i have deleted 5 lv20 char's all with 15k armour (all dyed black), 2 Rangers, 1 Necro, 1 Mesmer and 1 Warroir. In that order i deleted my necro for another ranger which i still have, and i deleted my mesmer for a PvP char, i deleted my warroir for another warroir as he was ugly.
