Stupidest Question You Asked As A Beginner ?

"Why won't plague touch remove Emptahy?"

I had no idea that there was a difference between conditions and hexes. I mean they're both bad things that pop up on your condition bar, right?

Took me like 20 tries to learn how to dance lol. I think a few things i did were
dance
.dance
\dance
.\dance
./dance
(space) then /dance
then finally...../dance

Then it took me a while to figure out only ranger's could breakdance(i was a necro)

hm...
"What do i do??" XD
"how do you get red text?"

"Where is the auction house?"


I win.

i get an award if it comes to the most idiot thought ^^
i thought i finished the game the first time i reached Jak's Bend...

"What do I do with a Sapphire?"

It dropped from a Rockshot Devourer outside Post-Searing Ascalon and I wasn't aware of Rare Material Traders (or any traders for that matter).

I nearly sold it for 2k (or was nearly scammed) but I rejected and sold it for 12k to the trader once I realised it existed. It was a lot of cash for a newbie.

I also remember gasping at the sight of Ecto prices which were around 18k. Kept hoping an ecto would drop for me but it didn't happen until months later in the Underworld.

Was in a pug doing the Fissure of Woe back in june 05 for the first time since I ascended my elementalist, and got an obsidian shard after killing a Abyssal with meteor shower.

Random pug guy: omfg! she got a shard!

Me: "what do you do with obsidian shards??"

Random pug guy: i dunno but they're worth money. (5-6k back then)

Other random pug guy: armor.

Me: oh really? cool. how/where?

Other random pug guy: u gotta do more quests.

Me: ah k. thx.

Then everyone got sloppy and the whole group died before we could even do the Tower of Courage quest. Two months later full Fissure armor for my elementalist >_> You bet I found out what they were used for after that. kekeke

where do baby dwarfs come from?

How do i get to the guild hall?
What are platinum?
Can someone spare 2 platinum? (presear ascalon. wanted to make a guild or a cape for the guild...dont remember which...i believe the price changed since then.)
How do I tell what level I am?
What do i do? (very first thing i said when I entered the game hehe.)

Not quite a question I asked, but all this puts me in mind of quite a few different stupid things that happened in the early beta days.

I'd introduced a friend to the game through my guest key, and he went and bought his own prerelease copy before the next beta weekend. We got through presearing together (why did we think it was so important to do EVERY quest? it seemed like this was the real game, just quest quest quest and no story and I LOVED IT lolz) and we'd made it to ascalon. I ran around talking to every single NPC, looking at dye, materials merchants, all of it. My friend was stuck on this whole "guild" thing. He created one and invited me to join...omg we were so cool, we had our own guild, he even made me an officer! Then we saw these other people in another guild...THEY HAD CAPES! Well, we were so jealous, he asked a ton of people and someone finally told him who to go talk to. He's lookin' at the guild emblemer and sees the picture of the platinum bars, and tells me to get capes we'll need to pool our money...we need to buy two PARCHMENT. I told him I knew where we could get some cheap, and we fought all the way to the materials guy outside the sanitarium and I made two parchment, gave them to him, ran all the way back to the city (if we'd mapped & seperated we'd never have known how to find eachother again) and then he told me that the guy wouldn't take them. OMG I was so mad, stupid guild wars made me waste my money on something their little npc guy wouldn't even take. My friend wrote a "support ticket" calling them every nasty name in the book, complaining about their "glitchy" guild emblemer. He got a very kind response explaining our stupidity. I went and looked at the emblemer after he told me about it...believe me I smacked him good for that one...made him pay for my parchment too!

Keep the stories coming, it's nice to hear that we really were all stupid noobs once!

How do you save?

I had not idea that there was a pre and post-searing. I thought pre-searing was pretty much how the entire game was going to look. So, when I did whatever that quest was and ended up post-searing, I was *horrified*. The place was so ugly and gross compared to the green and lush place I was before. So kept asking "how do I get back to the green place?!". LOL

I take my "worthless" max golds from farming back to Ascalon and give them out to newbies and while I'm there I answer this question at least once everytime!


(speaking of giving out items for free...has anyone noticed that lately the non-newbies looking for handouts get mad when something isn't 15^50? duh, if it was, it wouldn't be free!)

"how to jump"

its not really a question .. but something dumbi used 2 do.

when ever i got a gold item, i looked at the value then times it by 10 and sell for that price


so value 360, id sell it for 3.6k .. lol

"What's the difference between the yellow and the purple arrows on the names in the party menu?"

"Why does my health go down so fast when my bar is green?"

"Why does my health bar turn green? 0_0"

"Why is my health bar a shade of pink sometimes?"

"Why does the warrior henchman in Shing Jea have better armor than me?"

"Are green weapons literally green?"

"Why is my energy pool so low compared to my health pool?"



Don't laugh at me. >.>

"how do i get to pre-searing?"(already in post searing)
"Who's ecto?"

"Where do I get a cape?"

"What is a drok's run?"

Then I got a free run to Drok's
