I didnt realise I could use Ursan Blessing to complete all the hard areas of the game with other people untill after I had already finished them with H/H.

Wow, I fail at GW. Gogogogo Ursan Blessing

I wish I could use it, but im too noob for the amazingness that is Ursan Blessing.

Hokays, so I just bought this super cute pair of Elite Druids Shoesies for my Ranger and dyed it pink :3

And I salvaged them, thinking they were my old pair. D:<

You must be female.

LOL I'm just kidding!

For me I can't really think of anything other than probably paying too much for weapons when I was a noob. I payed 1k for a collector sword which was kinda dumb. I also got a Droks run when I was at Dragon's Lair.

Didn't buy the game when it was sitting there right on a shelf at EB Games in 2005 :P

Sold a 2 year mini-pet in pre-searing for 5k...

O, where to start...I'll just name the 3 biggest noob things I have done. In order of when it was done.

1)Deleting my first necro and first sin because my new characters were not getting the bonus weapons and I wanted the characters to have them so I "remade" my account...

2)Buying 2 Major Blood and 2 Major Soul reaping for my second necro*may it rest in peace, next thing shows why*

3)Deleting my second necro and first big time *and only real* warrior. Necro had 15k necrotic and my war had 15k kurzick and some proph 15k, which one i cannot remember...may they both rest in peace...

Did a few:
1. Played for a few hours until I got the quests Across the Wall and the res signet. Since I didn't know anyone in game, didn't feel confident enough to ask random people to join me, and couldn't find any henchies, I thought I couldn't continue so gave up.
2. Six months later, some friends were all starting the game and forming a guild, so I logged back into the account and got my character out of pre-searing. After a few hours, I realised I'd missed almost all the skill quests in pre-searing and thought I'd gimped my ranger (who was six months old!) so I deleted her and started over. I didn't realise I could still get those skills on the original character!
3. Played my ranger right through until Droks before I realised that the 4th bag was the same as the third. It was only when I asked a guildy when the 4th bags would appear that I found out. I mean, the second was a belt pouch, then the third was a bag and only available in post-searing...so I was waiting for the fourth to appear at the merch. It didn't help that the pic with the bag in place looked different to the one without the bag

4. I was just starting to look at collecting mini pets, and someone was trying to sell a mini bone dragon. I asked them how much, and they said 'pm offer' - so I offered 10k (not having any idea what they were worth), and wondered why they said "you've gotta be kidding".

One I can remember now:

I dropped an obsidian shard after I ran out of inventory room while in FoW because I thought it was worthless.

Ju-On · Mar 18, 2008, 10:15 AM // 10:15

Asked why normal mode is so hard.

Tosha · Mar 18, 2008, 10:32 AM // 10:32

Deleted a charrie with Kuunavang in the inventory... Smashed my head in a couple of times when I realized where I left that bloody thing.
Have not let my minipets out of my xunlai ever since.

**Marty Silverblade** · Mar 18, 2008, 10:38 AM // 10:38

Mending, Orison of Healing, and Healing Breeze all on my Warriors bar at the one time (back in 2005). 3 days later, after trying to get through icedome, I realised how bad they were and dropped them for useful skills.

Reinfire · Mar 18, 2008, 11:58 AM // 11:58

Paying 700g for a blue 11-18 dmg bow for my ranger with fire storm and fireball. I was such a noob :P

Solas · Mar 18, 2008, 12:22 PM // 12:22

Not discovering Wiki for about 7 months after i was playing...people told me about it but i tought it was .com....not .org

Well, I do not think so.
Max collector weapons are as good as it gets stat-wise, I still use several collector items on my main character.

When I was a newbie I would have thought that was pretty good invested money. It took me at least a month to go from Ascalon to the Desert, a nice collector weapon would certainly had helped.

Dumbest thing myself?
* Panicing when not finding the save-game button.
* Not finding the entrance to the Northern Wall mission, went all over Ascalon, before I stumbled on it inside the City!

etc etc.

Boondocksaints · Mar 18, 2008, 01:03 PM // 13:03

When I was a noob, I thought purple and blue items were really worth something and would spend hours modding them up and trying to sell them.

baz777 · Mar 18, 2008, 01:13 PM // 13:13

This is not so much as a noobish thing rather where I’m old and easily confused.

Around the time of Faction release I was away for a couple of weeks on holiday. I loaded Faction before I went and on my return went with my 55 monk to farm the usual places at the time.

Unbeknown to me, didn’t look when I logged on, my guild had become part of an alliance. As people started to talk I got very confused with the gold text in my peripheral view thinking they where in fact gold drops.

All very confusing and disappointing

Putting att. points in everything with my ele thinking that balanced stats made the best characters, then proceeding to spam flare.

patrona · Mar 18, 2008, 04:08 PM // 16:08

i wanted to be a warrior, but didn't like the warrior armor. So i made an ele/war. -.-
