if you hover your mouse pointer over the skill points, it tells you what they're for

1. Not figuring out that the grey circle on the minimap was my aggro radius until level..oh, 20.
2. Staying behind after talking to a certain dragon and going "oh look, a dragon egg! I'll just take this here..." That was painfull.
3. Using a hammer because I thought they were good.
4. Using a shield in pve.

A couple days ago I decided to make a warrior/ranger and after I took master ranger Nente's quest to tame a melandru stalker, I realized I was full of items and went into town and unloaded some things. On the way back, I tamed a moa bird. Yay I have a pet! I get to the point to where I'm supposed to tame the stalker and I can't because I already have a pet...ok, I spend the next hour trying to get the poor bird killed. Well, the bird kills everything I encounter either that or the monsters target me and I end up dying. Finally I get a couple of monsters to gang up on the bird and kill it....great, problem solved right? wrong. Still won't let tame the stalker. Go back into town, come back out, bird's there, WTF? Go back into town, abandon quest, go back out, bird's still there! OMG this is turning out to be a nightmare!!! go back to town, abandon secondary character quest, go back out, bird's still there, I'm befuddled, discombobulated, confused, perplexed, pissed, you name it...at this point I'm convinced there is a glitch in the game and contemplate erasing the char and starting over. Go back to area where Nente is...oh, who's this tamer guy??? Oh how about that, he takes your unwanted pets for nothing!!! Never felt so humiliated in all my gaming life.

1) Applying a dwarfen key to a closed chest which was not guarded by dwarfs (ok, i dont know how one really has to do it, but this was the wrong way ---> next time i will serach for a closed chest guarded by dwarfs)

2) fighting against Yade Armor's without any piece of armor "infused"

cc.pyro · May 05, 2005, 11:51 AM // 11:51

1. The Space bar is the attack key!!??!!
2. Dye on newb armor.

butcherboy · May 05, 2005, 01:08 PM // 13:08

You can't charm the bull

nor the "Spirit of the Wind" spider thing in "Trouble in the Forest". So I guess it really isn't a mistake aside from having to wait longer to get the devourer egg quest from Old Miller.

Ramus · May 05, 2005, 04:48 PM // 16:48

Bought 3 ident kits even though I wanted one 1 salvage kit... (Hey, that gold hurts in the beginning

)

femto · May 05, 2005, 06:04 PM // 18:04

(pre-searing) thought the ID kits could only ID one item, so naturally i spend all my gold on 4

Dumb Quixote · May 05, 2005, 06:49 PM // 18:49

Pre-searing:
1) Took on the drake without first checking his level. I was level 1
2) Actually walked from place to place instead of using the map. Damn...
3) I ran a gauntlet of ice elementals actually thinking I could outrun them when trying to get back to my partner
4) Ran from the lever to the gate *way* too many times before I realized I needed help. Um... I even actually tried the /jump command

5) Continuously activated Ascalon guards "!" even though they all said the same thing
6) Never went anywhere without the little girl (I don't know... maybe she was a good luck charm).

Post-Searing:
1) Didn't realize the good/bad vendor thing for prices.
2) Kept clicking on my NPC instead of the Monster when attacking. He was very nice about it though: "A little busy right now"

...list sure to grow

1. I got impatient at the end of an escort mission and used warrior Sprint on the home stretch. When I talked to the NPC to get my reward, he reset my quest to the beginning! Sure enough, when I went back across the area boundary, all my followers had warped back to their starting location, past the dozens of Charr

. Moral of the story: On escort missions, wait for all your followers BEFORE leaving each area. It is required to trigger the mandatory "quest updates."

2. Starting out with a Warrior/Necromancer when my pre-order bonus item from EB Games was a Bow. (UPDATE: ArenaNet fixed this already!! Just use the /preorder command to receive your pre-order bonus item with any of your characters!).

3. Trying to kill spiders for several minutes while holding a basket of apples.

4. Spending hours in advance trying to plan out my "uber" characters, only to realize that we gather skills slowly over time anyway, and it's better to try out everything to see what you have the most fun with.

Actually she is the closest thing to a henchie you can have in pre-searing. Once she gets her flute she casts instant health and energy regen spells. Very nice to get the extra 20 HP during a slugout.

KazzTawdal · May 05, 2005, 07:36 PM // 19:36

I still hate her for making me pay 200 gold for a cape I can't even seem to give to her.

Aidan Gawain · May 07, 2005, 11:38 PM // 23:38

1. Bought a flute for Gwen and spent hours looking for her broken one, when she already had her old flute (I think if you're a monk, she never loses it).

2. Got a second belt pouch thinking I could equip it in a bag slot.

3. Threw away that belt pouch because I thought it was useless.

4. Dyed my monk's sandels (the first set after the starting ones) yellow - had no visible effect.

5. Didn't notice the Tab key, so whenever I fought multiple enemies and killed one, I had to use my mouse to turn the screen so I could click on the next one. Sometimes I'd miss and just walk up to it without attacking.

Textural · May 08, 2005, 01:27 AM // 01:27

lol so many of you bought a cape for little Gwen :x

The stupid thing I remember doing was trying to sell my used 39 upgraded armour set, not remembering that they're only customized for me. -_-

thecowgoesmoo · May 08, 2005, 03:22 AM // 03:22

well....

1) i didn't know about that aggro radius til now

2) i bought the cape for gwen which she won't take. she won't take the flute either but hey, at least that didn't cost much (by the way, how many flowers does it take til i get the tapestry??? i've given her about a dozen now...)

3) got a second belt pouch, realised i couldn't equip it and sold it pre-searing

4) sold the collectble items without realising i could salvage them

Valsalis · May 08, 2005, 05:32 AM // 05:32

IMO Money isn't a huge problem in GW. Best of all, the people who invest in those second/third tier runes take an HP hit to equip them (Still great runes, but atleast they come with a penalty). So noobs, don't grind in Pre-searing for hours getting those fins for the pouch quest thinking it'll be the only easy money you make, and that you'll be better off after the grind.

As far as dumb things done:
I opened the large gates in Nolani, when the huge charr army is outside, and let the charr kill my entire group. BTW, actual way out, is the oposite of the gates.
