I had my first ranger, slowly fighting through the post searing quests and missions in ascalon area. I had figured out that you were supposed to progressivelu improving your equipment and skills etc. As I did so I wondered why my max hp became smaller and smaller.
Wearing 4 major/sup runes was the reason
Much later (this is not newb error but still very stupid) factions came, and I reached Vasburg Armory and decided I wanted a Kurz elite set. There wasnt all this fff farm back then and cheap amber flowing around, so i bought 80 amber for ~2500 each, thats like 200k. Went to merchant to get rid of some crap, clicked once too much and merched the amber...
*tears out hair*

My first time in UW...I delighted into taking the unwanted guest quest, just to watch my guild leader rage...

had 2 gold max low req butterfly swords and vendored them accidentally.
messed up my ranger when they first added the thing that let you change your profession while in a town. I changed it but it got stuck as a ranger only because they took the bar away so I had to remake my ranger.

Dumbest thing I did was probably having my first character (an E/X) and having him spam Flare with Water Attunement wondering why my energy would drain quickly...

Deleted my lvl 20 ranger who was fully equipped with max bow and max armor. I deleted her because I didn't like her secondary profession. Next day I slapped myself cause I realized you can change your secondary.

Sold my first ecto to a merchant, I also had a funky Bow/Sword hybrid build on my ranger until I reached the southern shiverpeaks.
As for PvP, I used the pre-made Paladin build a lot..

Making countless numbers of warriors (say 3) to fight in ascalon arena and I bought them each 15k armor and deleted them all..... And when I first got to Dragon's Lair i didn't know what an elite was, and after I saw the ranger boss killed i saw a guy use poison arrow, so I thought that guy had it. Killed the boss about 5 times till I realized he didn't have that elite even though I tried to cap it before.......

Now as I go back through some of my old equipment templates, I am astonished at how bad they were. Sup runes on monks, not a single 40/40 set to be found, not one over 500 hp. Good lord I was bad

I was making my way through Prophecies for the first time on my first character, a mesmer. Someone gave me a free run somewhere in the Crystal Desert then offered to let me join their guild. I thought, well, sure, why not and did. Then the next day the guy pops up and offers to sell me a gold mesmer offhand for 2k. I still had no clue about how much items were worth and the offhand looked ok, but most of all I figured that my guildie wouldn't cheat me, right? So I bought the offhand.
It only took me a day or two of mulling over this exchange before I realized that the guy had sold me crappy merch food at an inflated price. I left the guild and never heard from anyone in it again, soon thereafter found the guild I'm in which has been very nice.
I didn't lose a lot of money or time, which is a good thing, but it's one of the only things I did during my noob days that still makes me cringe.

Sold my mini kuunavang for 150k then bought as many ID/Salvage kits as I could so I wouldn't need to buy any more ever.. ._________________.''

I remember when I used to think farming literally meant farming.
That having a pet was an absolute must for all my characters.
Although I am glad I never fell into the Wammo trap, mainly because I find the warrior class boring.

I bought a 5/1 Vamp bowstring, added it to a Gold bow to try to sell for a mint and then realised it didn't have a damage bonus. Tried to re-salavage and lost the string - 35k down the tubes.

back when i first did pre-searing, me and my cousin both farmed for days trying to muster up the 2k it took to make a guild, in hopes of getting a cape...all we wanted was a cape... we eventually found out that you couldnt get a cape until post-searing.
at that point, me = fail.

Lets see, back in ye good olde days, I didn't have a clue how runes worked. I could put them on my armor, but I didn't know how to take them off, or that you could overwrite them, so I ended up getting lots of sets of 15AL armor.
Even better though, I would find these pieces of armor (dropped from monsters no less) that had runes on them! My problem was that i was playing as an elementalist though, and eles can't wear those bulky pieces of armor. I was actually convinced that a warrior would be able to wear them, and benefit from the armor and the rune. So, I managed to get not one but two super vigor runes in armor around Yaks Bend somewhere (back in ye olde days when they were worth 70kish).
Now, being the good guy that I am, I wanted to help the community, so I decided to sell these amazing pieces of armor. I was advertising somewhere, when a guy whispers me saying something like "lol, noob those pieces of armor are worthless". Now I'm not one to be easily deterred, so I kept right on selling. I altered my method, including the +50 health bit. The guy who had told me they were worthless comes back, offering me 5k for the two, "to take them off of my hands so that I could buy something better". I smelled a yak here, and I found a kind fellow who explained how the entire rune system worked, and about how to salvage them. He went away with a Sup Vigor rune, and I went away just that tiny bit more ready to take on the mysteries of this glorious game.
