Me too. I had explored & quested most of Ascalon and was getting frustrated with trying to find my way through the Diessa Lowlands from Piken Square before I finally discovered the missions. Completing the Ruins Of Surmia for the first time and landing in Nolani Academy felt pretty good!

Also, I once superior salvaged an IDS when I meant to do a perfect on it, and yeahhhh...

I'm laughing at all the failed skill hunter attempts. I can so relate to those (but the Feast of Corruption one is just painful).

When I first started with a ranger, I was so desperate to get an elite. I saved up all my money in the Ascalon Area to finally buy an elite ranger tome not really understanding that you needed to unlock the skill first (embarrassing to myself but at least it was a re-sellable item).

I used to be one of those douche-bags who like to show off my wealth by dropping stuff on the ground and then picking it up again. I was getting a run to Droks and just as I dropped a Mini Destroyer, a mob of giants knocked me down. Some guy in the party managed to pick it up and then promptly log off. I felt like such a tool, I logged off too out of embarrassment (poor runner lost two customers). I also lost the name of the guy who picked the thing up so I couldn't even send him a dirty message. Needless to say, he get a mini-Destroyer (dedicated at least).

First time using Shield Bash so many years ago, wondering why nothing happened, until I realised I did not have a shield equipped.

Wanted to kick a guild member (I was the leader) and I made him the guild leader instead of kicking.

Ha ha what happened?

lol I have read it all and had a good laugh. Now some from me:

It took me 1 year to find out how to make screens so I have none from that time

It also took me 1 year to get my first elite skill (Searing Flamez), another quite embarrassing fact is that I use the pretty much same build I used back then till today (3 years lol).

I used the reward shield you get from some ascalon quest for nearly 1 year before I realised that it is not good (someone explained that to me actually, would never realise myself lol).

Another time our 8-player party got defeated by a Norn bounty giver in Normal Mode, 4 were AFK but still a funny fail lol.

Completing Prophecies took me more than a year, even though I skipped all of Maguuma Jungle and has bought runs to several places.

I wore Shing Jea Armor for 2 years.
I terribly failed at Mad King Says.
I used Peace and Harmony back when it was totally useless.
I played Mending War in RA.
I also used Frenzy as a cancel stance for Primal Rage. Joking on this one

I have created a Warrior/Mo build that used Warrior's Endurance for Energy management and was full healer.
I have also created another build which is based on letting your teammates die and healing your enemies.

Back in the 600hp days, I usually forgot to change armor.
I fail so badly at HA that I STILL HAVE double Zaishen Quests active for it without a single win.

Hope you enjoyed some, theres more but I dare not say it

When I was first starting HA and got to halls, was getting pissed off that channeling and HB kept getting stripped and it took me a while to realize I kept running into well of the profane, luckily nobody noticed afaik...

When I was a noob monk in pre-sear I discovered the charr behind the wall. I would team up and try to heal my teammate by clicking on the name under his toon, instead of the red party bar. I thought this was how you healed. I can't tell you just how hard it was to heal by using my mouse to follow a warrior who was always darting back and forth, and me trying to hit the right spot to give them heals

After using Expert Salvage Kit lots of times getting stuff of of Hero armor, i used Expert Salvage Kit on an armor piece of my own out of habit. It broke ofcourse.

On occasion in the American district players will use their native language instead of english.
One time, someone was selling an item with a german name. I send a PM asking to translate it from german into english.
Later i discovered it was a green item with a german name.

Me and a guildie vanquishing an explorable area somewhere in Maguuma Jungle I think. I had 3 heroes guildie had one hero. We did well 'till around 75% and we started dying, again and again. Then I realized why: my heroes were all set on avoid combat (necro helear did a great job, but never used Xinrae's Weapon; ss necro never casted a hex; and MM necro did a great job making minions, but never used putrid bile or other hexes).

1. deleting my necro (completed the game, 15k armor bla bla) by accident. im not even sure how i managed to type the full name and hit delete without even realizing it.

2. some guy agreed to pay me 60k for an item but put 60g in the trade window. i was too hasty to hit accept. never again! ;(

3. getting owned 4v3 in RA or any 4v4 arena is always disgraceful

Bloody IDIOT i am.

Just now.

Needed to take 2 mods of a sword and not break it.
Smartly i used a Perfect Salvage Kit for the first mod, BUT in haste used an Expert Kit for the second mod.
And OFCOURSE the sword broke....grrr.

Hmm, it was an r9 gold Elonian Gladius, worth 10-15k
Guess i need to buy a new one, oh well.....10-15k is survivable.

Anyways, are elonian gladius's worth that much? Then all the k's I've merched...

dagrdagaz · Aug 04, 2010, 09:44 PM // 21:44

@Sword Hammer Axe
They were when i bought one say half a year ago.
But i am talking about the NF one that looks like a Roman Gladius, so NOT the sword that is called Gladius with the Short Sword skin.

And then only a gold inscr r9.

Well stupid me...i thought i remembered seeing that torm items couldnt be destroyed by salvage kits so i used a normal one to take a mod off my torm staff and it broke, i was mad and confused at the same time Q_Q then i looked back and saw that torm items arent salvagable, but still breakable xD
