I named my monk 'afterlife monk' because he was a Mo/N not realising that you could change 2ndary prof later on in the game. He was a all singing all dancing animate bone minions retribution smiter at one point.

Merch ectos, black dyes, before I discovered there were traders for these items, sold req 9 perfect items for little money before I discovered price guides, accidently merch rare items that I got while farming ( merched pyroclastic , saurian scythe r9 ( when it was still expensive ), etc

Later on, when I was less of a noob then back in the days, I launched the catapult in a gvg battle whiping my entire team, making us lose the battle etc

The first campain i got was factions and when i joined it was on the saturday of the first dragon festival. Well anyway, i saw people with some really cool dragon faces and asked my friends who explained to me about the 250 jade wind orbs.

Trying to find a faster way, i hacked and slash with my ranger at those poor mantids for ages, to get a whooping 5k ( it was alot for me), then i tried to buy a mask instead of buying 250 jade orbs for 25k. I found a seller, and while i was clicking the accept button, my friend told me not to buy ( i told him i was going to buy, buy he was afk

)

So now i dont even have a dragon mask

, i only had about 50 jade orbs from farming madtids btw before anyone points that out

.

Also done the usual selling rare items to merch, like a r9 zodiac shield when they were rare, and a black dye. Ahhh good times.

I have done almost every stupid thing mentioned here but the most expensive was probably my first 55 monk farming attempts in UW.

Baaaaack in 2005 before Protective Bond got nerfed to death you had to bring a +1/20% prot item just to cast a lvl 17 Protective Bond. Meaning you started the run recasting it till you get the +17. Now stupid as I used to be I just skipped this part while reading 55 tutorials. So I went in, casted my enchants and aggroed everything there was. You still survive a bit with +16 but you'll run out of energy pretty fast and loose all enchants. Unfortunatly it was not fast enough for me to realize I am making it wrong. I just thought it needs a bit of training ^^. So I spent about 100k (gathered it by selling all my stuff) just for the entry fee to UW without any notable drops at all. 100k is nothing today but considering it was all I had back than I ruined myself thanks to lazyness.

Imagine the slap I gave myself after realizing that I missed the most improtant aspect of the build...

Good thing I had enough time to farm a decent amount of ecto before the nerf.

Gaining rank 4 in Hero Battles when I noticed that you can also fight instead of /roll.

Accidentally merched my treasured Rago's Flame Staff.

I'm STILL upset.

Zebideedee · May 24, 2008, 11:47 AM // 11:47

Almost quitting because I thought the game was too hard, then I found out about Henchmen

When i was going for Legendary Skill Hunter the amount times i went to use SoC after killing the boss and realised i hadn't brought it was unreal xD

fog_of_redoubt · May 24, 2008, 03:56 PM // 15:56

Bought chapter 2 instead of deleting chapter 1

whiteyboy · May 24, 2008, 05:42 PM // 17:42

Um i got my first ever Black dye, sold it for 9k, then spammed in LA buying bow 9k and i brought a non max purple one with it

Shai Lee · May 24, 2008, 05:47 PM // 17:47

I didn't know how people spammed trade chat, I was like, "Wow, they're all really really fast typers..." *giggles* Meanwhile, I would be typing every trade post out every single time... >.>

Needless to say, that's how I ended up buying more than selling and why I can never be a power trader. XD

Al Andaluz · May 25, 2008, 01:18 AM // 01:18

My very first night in gw, I saw someone spamming "WTB"... I started pming the person, thinking that WTB = Want To Barter. I learned the spammed acronyms very quickly after that mistake.

Courage! · May 25, 2008, 04:08 AM // 04:08

i laughed at ppl when i got 1k also not sure if i posted this along time ago BUT i also put black dye on my started boots

MercenaryKnight · May 25, 2008, 05:02 AM // 05:02

I spent quite a few of my first months playing and making new characters left and right. I would spend a lot of time finishing up pre-searing, then go to post and get through the first 3 missions+ bonuses or so and then re-make. I did that several dozen times.

Each time I played, I never knew what attribute points were and so I always wondered why the game was so hard.

Apart from selling two blacks dyes in pre when i first started to the dye merchant, and merching a required 15^50 wingblade sword i had for over a year...joining Guru......
