Yeah The worst thing ever imagined just happened to me

From a whole day of just UW farming, I managed to get a reasonable amount of ectos...

I was selling the unwanted drops that i had gotten to the merchant, WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY SOLD THIRTY THREE (YES THATS RIGHT! 33!!!!) ECTOS TO THE MERCHANT!!!!!!!!!

Now to do another day of completely boring uw farming...

That's why I bank all my ectos after every run. Not only does it help me keep score of how many ectos I got in one run, but it also keeps me safe from this.

kthxlol.

that sucks

i normally put my ectos behind a minipet in my inventory, so it wont let me sell past it. its a good thing if you plan to do alot of runs and let them add up.

or just put them in storage before you merch. thats what i have to do.

You shouldn't be mad that you lost 33 ectos, rather, you should be mad you lost a whole day worth of your precious time.

45? unless you are still using the A/Me build it takes 25< to do an UW run.

At least you can buy an ecto for that 3.3k

I'm just piling them up until the nerf comes and hopefully they go back up in the next 6 years. Until then, hmmm I only farm 2 times a day because it is mind numbingly boring.

Live and learn. Take advice from others and make "safety stops" for merchant selling (anything that can't be sold).

PS. Don't mind the trolls.

you gotta learn to put unsellable items before and after stuff you dont want to accidentally sell in your inventory

this way, they "protect" your goodies

He meant that the op has to farm 10 hours or 66 ectos to make it up for lost 33 and have another stack of 33.

N-ways, gotta make banking up your ectos an habit... but after 5 hours ( wtf ? ) who would pay attention to that. I think my max, pushing it, was like 2 hours in uw with my warr...

Sucks, but its not as bad as the guy whose party wiped right before he could pick up a q9 eternal blade he got from the UW chest. However that picture is priceless...

Edit: To the guy above me.... Uhmm, to get the 33 ectoes back he has to farm 33 ectoes. He had 33, lost them so he has 0, so he has to farm 33 to be back where he was.

I have my 2nd bag full of weapons and stuff, one slot is reserved for ectos there. Disable the 2nd bag and you're good to go.

By merching the 33 ectos, the game will recognise this as:

This guy is rich, he merchs his ectos. We should stop all ectos drop for him.
