The stupid things I've done thread

[Harlas Kije]

In Pre-searing trying to get icy lodestones with my monk--one of the mobs dropped a nice wand 4-6 or 5-8 dam w/ a bonus. My inv was full so I dropped something cheap and put my 4-6 wand I had equipped in the open slot and tried to get the nicer wand off the ground. While all this was going on I kind of died to the 4 other wandering mobs that were poundig on me the whole time.
As soon as I rezzed back--I had the bright idea to zone to town and clear my pack at the vendors. Sooo--I procedded to sell everything I had in my pack and went back to the ice death rink.

I learned right then and there that items that fall in instant zones disappear when you zone out--and it is hard to defend yourself without an equipped weapon. Even though monks do a cool tai-chi dance--you still die pretty fast even with the divine aura.

1. After playing since the World Preview Event i just figured out yesterday that the Alt button showes all the NPC's names. Wow i really wish i would of known that earlier :P

2. Ran up and opended the front door on the Academy mission, not having a clue that they changed it :P Thinking.. "oooh cool! Lets try to beat them" and opening the door for the second time and getting killed

3. Accidently Dying gwens broken flute purlple because i was convinced that it wouldnt dye.

4. My first time in PVP i ran right up to the whole other team by myself, instantly getting killed hehe.

Heh, ya I got a bit of a silly story myself.

Was searching around for new skills to get in post-searing so I set out to find master ranger Nente. After doing the first mission he then told me to go through the breach and kill so-and-so across the bridge. So I went to the Sanitarium and got together with a group of players. We then proceeded to the Breach. As soon as we got in one of them said "Oh, I know what mission your doing, follow me." So we proceeded to follow her through the tar river and on towards Piken Square (I found out afterwards). Well I died about halfway there and had to log out.

So I came back the next day, joined a guild, and asked my new leader if he would help me with this mission. So we go back into the Breach and I say, "Ya, it's this way", following the path I had went the day before. So we go around and around, go into Piken Square (my first time) and then leave again and wander around and around for about 2 hours. I can't figure out how to get on the stinkin bridge. Finally we go back to the beginning of the breach and there is the doorway to get on the bridge. Doh!!!!

A little long-winded sorry. To sum things up, don't always assume your team members know what mission your doing!!!

screwed up the camera angle and stared at my feet for an hour until my friend signed on and told me how to reset it.

1. Well, did the cape thing with Gwen too.

2. And dyed my Chimeric Prism-.-

3. "Advised" my friend to craft charcoal instead of buying.

4. Ordered from Gameplay.co.uk (they sent tuesday the 26th, and it still isn't here)
At least I got the most roxx0rz preorder item, Chimeric Prism. It's very flexible.

D'OH!!!

[Flatliner]

I clicked on the dye and dyed my bag by mistake.. heh

[Skult]

Made it to Yak where I heard that is where the next level of armor upgrades are to be found so I find the Armor merchant and get all excited about getting new stuff.

Off to Ascalon to buy an aditional 10 bones from a player, port back and buy a pair of Bone boots -then I realized - Hey this is the same friggen armor I am already wearing except mine is dyed!

LOL my mistake cost me 150 gps, 100 gps for bone purchase, some bone and some hides... So where do I find better Necro armor... Currently I am wearing all Bone 30 AC, +1 Energy, +15 AC against peircing damage. As seen in my sig.

[Sir_Sid]

Guys. Don't hit me.

I had 10 Squares of fur, 20 regular fur things, and nearly 50 iron ignots, all from pre-searing.

I went to searing, to my new armour... then sold the rest of the materials to the vendor. I didn't know other players would pay more for them..

[DarkWasp]

Tried to kill 2 lightning drakes all by my lonesome at level 12.

[Bu7ch]

I haven't done any 'dumb' things per se, more out of pure ignorance. I've had tons and tons of bones and other items I picked up that could've been crafted. I had no clue I could do anything with those items. Next thing I did was allow a guild member to trade me a his drakescale armor for a few bags. Yes, I ended up buying three bags b/c he had no cash for armor I couldn't use (and apparently you can't trade bags!). He did take armor back but I was out the difference between buying and selling prices of those things.

I did the same thing with my R/Mo. I thought to myself as soon as I saw them, "Aren't these the same little weak aloe things as soon as you leave Ascalon? No problem!" Of course, they aren't. I died a horrible death, ended up at a respawn point that left me wondering where I was (it was like in the snow, in a location I didn't even remember having been to), so I teleported back to town to start over. In restarting my journey, I'd forgotten exactly how to get to Wizard's Folly in the first place and ended up taking a MUCH longer way than is necessary.

1 Actually thought a smiting monk would be good for pvp
2 Wasted expert salvage kit on white items

[Duality]

you can't trade bags, but you can team up, go to an instanced area and drop them...there's a trust factor for that however.

[etowiosee]

Got a Vigor Rune. Accidently deleted it ...

[Marus Varrus]

Kind of related -- last night I teamed up with two rangers and a ele (I'm a war) to tackle the Ashes quest out of Piken. we were all 10-12 level so figured we were in pretty good shape without monk. Spoiler----------------------------------------------

We were are killed and the rez portal plopps you in the temple zone tough togh rez area. We are died so often we all had 60% DP but were killing two or three charr each time so were slowly making headway. Well been chugging at it for half an hour like this and had managed to kill of thre or four total mobs. When three of the four of us were killed and the fourth guys was still standing he says "Wow I just noticed we are close to a portal let me go through and we will all lose the DP" and starts running. The three of us lying there dead are screaming for him to stop and not go out of the zone to no avail. Then he realizes its just another zone not an out post or town so we all keep the DP and have to zone back to start the crap over again finally did it but WHOA that was the dumb. FUnny thought we rezoned back in and he says "oh sorry guys my bad"

I got to level 6 before realizing I could apply the skill points.

I killed my entire party with the catapults in the Fort Ranik mission... in two seperate BWE's... and didn't have a rez signet left the second time. Or rez at all... on my Mo/N. But I did smite my way through the end of the mission, so it worked out.

We did that last night for fun lol. 3 of us stood in the big pit where you use the first catapult launches (We cleared out those charr by hand the hard way first) while our resident monk pulled the lever. It hit me for over 1100 damage!
