Trying to cap Vengeful Was Khanhei, first time my group died of bad pulling on my part. Second time, made it all the way to the boss and realized that I was still a W/Mo not a W/Rit.

I was making a Tyrian survivor character... And I spent a few weeks getting her to like level 15. Then one night I randomly woke up at 4AM, so I came online and walked outside and started attacking a wurm.

Then I decided I should check teh Wiki for the exp needed for the second level of Survivor. Came back ingame, and I was being attacked by a wolf didn't think twice, just walked up to the collector and started browsing his stuff. The wolf was still attacking me.. then I died, and I was like "Eh whatev... WTF! AW HELL NAW!"

So level 15 Survivor... killed by a level 2 wolf.

IT GETS WORSE!

So I recreate her, and level her to level 9 and decided to leave pre-sear. I go through the PVP part.. staying alive but we had a level 3 warrior. The idiot died atleast 7 times so they won. I THOUGHT that the slaying of all chars on the losing team would count as a death so I quit really fast.

When I went to log back in, the game would load, then boot me. Took me 4 weeks over something that wouldnt have counted as a death. And Arena.net never really fixed it. I found the workaround (Download all files).

i suck so bad that i constantly sell stuff not paying attention. i sold like 30+ ecto once, tons and tons of good golds, and worst off, i customed a GOLD crystalline sword i was going to resell.. i so sad

Till now I have not made huge mistakes (reading all kinds of things others did).
I gave away black dye once or twice.
But that's a bad habbit, when I am having a good time, I give stuff away.
Even if it's somewhat valuable.

Sold a really good gold axe for 5K (worth probably around 30-40K because of the mods).
I might have done stupid things when I just started playing the game, but can't remember.
I know I have bought some items at a very high price, but the loss would be around 5-10K at the most.

Runes...
Having a few spare Sup Death's and trading them when they started rising somewhat. Think I sold them at 2K, they were about 6-8K a few days later.
The same with the 'blood stained' insignia (or whatever it's called).
I found one and knew I would not give my necro NF armor.
So traded for 1K (last time I looked they were around 10K).
Having a few spare Sup Monk runes and failing to sell the moment they nerfed the 55.

One thing I do regret somewhat is not creating a pure PvP slot earlier.
That would have saved me a lot of gold since I have many skills unlocked, but not on the same character.
So every time my guild wanted to play a different build or me a different profession, I would go to trainer and buy the skills (at 1K each).

Valuable savers:
Remember where your stuff is (also heroes) and check everything when you delete a character.
Check what you salvage/customise/merch. Double check.
Lock your inventory. And put a 0-value item in front of everything you want to keep.
Know the value of items and check websites when you find one you have never seen before.
Create a PvP character if you plan to play PvP frequently and unlock skills instead of buying them at trainer.

Yeah.... I sure know mine.

After Nightfall was released for some reason I was under the impression that any time you salvaged your armor you'd get the rune out of it and the armor would stay intact. I had no idea that it was based on a %. Needless to say I lost my monks FoW leggings over a minor protection rune. I was so upset I couldn't even utter a word. I just stared at the screen thinking, "that didn't just happen......".

1. Selling a HOD sword to the merch back in the day, would have been bad enough but it wasn't mine

2 Deleting my Completed Rit while drunk

Worst self pawnage? Perhaps playing Assassin through any mission with afflicted.....

Deleting a character with all my gold on her. -_-;;

Feminist Terrorist · Mar 30, 2007, 08:45 PM // 20:45

Worst self ownage ever-I ran into the Sulfurous Waste and stopped, wondering what that box was that just popped up, then died. Took me a moment to realize what an amazingly stoopid thing I did, not ten minutes ago.

Spartan117 · Mar 30, 2007, 10:44 PM // 22:44

I think mine was when i first went in UW. i went over to the lost soul and got surrounded by those big warrior guys.(was my first time, how was i supposed to know? lol) Man, i might as well have been sat on and spanked! Thing hit me for 405 hit points. Didnt go down there again for a while. ROFL!!!

The Bloodrose · Mar 31, 2007, 01:45 AM // 01:45

Fissure of Woe run. Everyone had died and I was getting ready to run to rebirth later. Decided to fire off one last Barrage for the road. Hit the button and just noticed I had empathy and SS on myself. Hit 6 mobs....shortly thereafter I became a dirt dart.

see if anyone can top this one

Well, it's not really a self-ownage because I managed to avoid it but...

When I was getting Legendary Survivor on my warrior, I was at 1200k exp, having completed factions almost completely (every quests, every mission except the last 3 (waters, raisu, shiro) and having capped about 90 elites all in factions... I was vermin farming for the last part of my exp because I didnt want to cap the elementalist elites (too risky)... anyways, it's really easy but there's a group of vermin that comes from another direction than the farming route if you want long enough... well, I was oblivious to this so I finished my route, stayed in the zone thinking nothing could happen and went to the toilet and to get a glass of water... when I came back I was at 100 hp with bleeding and 3 vermins attacking me... so yeah I exited real quick =p

Good thing I had 625HP cause most warriors would of died right there =p

Shadow's Refuge? Though I hate my Sin's low armor and pitiful damage range I've had enormous success using Shadow's Refuge to keep her alive during battles with Afflicted.
