So I just did something incredibly dumb the other day and had to share with everyone - I'm sure many of you have and that, "Oh !@#$% - What did I just do?" moment... Post here and make me feel better!

I was Vaettir farming just a few days ago in Jaga Moraine. On the way I hit a few bosses and got an Elite Warrior Tome along with a few other goodies. It was a pretty good farming run and after I filled my inventory, I decided to drop it all to take a screeny... then... I zoned into Sifhalla... yes, thats right, I didn't pick ANY of my loot up before zoning and left it sitting in Jaga Moraine. Here's a screenie of what was left just sitting there in the snow. Many of the weapons were R9 with perfect mods including a perfect "Aptitude not Atitude", "Forget Me Not", 20% staff wrapping of enchanting, and +30 sword. Enjoy:

Deleting my Necro because he was loosing more money than he earned.

It was my main. Would've been now, seeing as SR is overpowered.

And when I think he would be 3 year old now, I die a bit inside.

^That, I was so pissed when that happend :P

I really don't have that many stupid moments. But my biggest one was when I was a noob. Some dude was buying a gold weapon (I had a req12 or something longsword, don't really remember) He traded me 2k + 2 purples, I accepted it not knowing what the items were and just needing that 2k. One was a max dmg Fiery Crenellated Sword 14% more dmg while enchanting req8, which I customized for my warrior (slaps self). Probably the stupidest thing I did, this was back in 2005 or early 2006, they were worth something back then. The other was a pretty crappy req8 Spiked Targe (max armor though) which is now on my Jora.

Ouch, thats rough, man.

I once deleted a character with 75k, a tormented shield, and a couple other expensive items, because I forgot the character had all of those items on him. As I was looking for all of that stuff, it dawned on me what actually happened. >.<

Remaking my main char which is a warrior since I wanna change the looks. But now I'm lazy and bored to play that new warrior all over again. I wished I haven't deleted my old warrior.

More than once.......Fighting all the way across a map, finally killing the boss, then noticing no signet of capture.

No major screw-ups when it comes to money or items. I tend to double check everything.

1) Fighting constantly to a boss and keep dieing. My entire party had 60% DP. About 1 hour and the boss finally died. I found out 2 things, I didn't have my signet of capture and a outpost is near the boss.

2) Buying a Kanaxai Axe for 100k +75e when factions first came out. Buying a mini Varish 75k when two days later it was worth 20k.

I have a bunch of these related to losing gold/equipment... so instead I'll talk about one that's less embarrassing

I had just beaten Factions on my Ele (3rd character created, but my main and first one that got off Shing Jea Island) and had used a fire-nuker build the entire way. I decided I was bored with fire magic, so I deleted this character in order to make a new Elementalist who would use Earth Magic.

Now if I was the least bit intelligent, I would have just kept the original Ele and bought the Earth skills >_>

I would consider naming my monk "Heal N Fifty Fiver" a huge mistake. maybe if I made a Guru event "Report my name! I wanna change it", then it could be a fixable mistake.

I always get embarrassed when I say he/she... and I did that on a guild interview years ago - causing me not to get int. (thankfully I didn't.)

LoL Busted. The salvage fow armor moments were impressive and so does the first post. I think my stupidest moment ever happened when i was going storyline on elona with 2 of my chars same time , i kept switching to each other so many times that i ended using a bow on my warrior ( the one i use to pull is same skin than the one i use on my ranger ) and on the first mob of a mission i was like "WTF ! im doing shit damage why ?" and pressing skills getting the "not suitable weap for that skill" or something like that ... i was about to get mad when i checked my inventory to see what happened to the weap and ouuuuuuuu what is this warrior doing here ..... wait <insert facepalm here>

Right after the trader reset, back when you could buy 10 rubies/sapphires from the common trader: I was buying them at 2.5k/10, selling them back to the rare guy for about 2k each... kept buying and buying until I ran out of cash, because the price jumped up to 20k per 10. Erased all my gains.

Accidentally salvaging my Kurzick 15k Armor with a standard salvage kit instead of the perfect one. Entering several areas to cap a skill and didn't bring skill cap. Starting my protector title before the update that gave more gold for completing the books. Vanquishing both Elona and Cantha before the books came out. Buying an eternal spidey tonic for 100k+110e!! The list goes on. I think the worst is customizing my req 7 14%^50 long sword and req 8 15%^50 fellblade. Oh and selling my req 8 15%^50 Jade Sword for a req 9 Insc Gaurdian of the Hunt! GAH!

That my friend, is a ludicrous kill. Would have laughed it off myself lol.

Don't really think I had some major mistakes like that. But yeah leaving the sig cap when going to cap really blows lol. Deleted a char that had 4k on it, if that's much lol.

Now, I will say that it is my fault that I misread their advertisement, and that it did actually have a "please" in there. However, this guy did not need to act out like that.

Glad to hear l'm not the only person who's gone out to cap a skill without cap sig.

Dedicating my war's tourmy shield in HoM still irks me. Why why why did l do that!
Especially since its probably my least played char since ursan nerf took all the fun out of fast Fow and Doa runs. :/

The greatest moment of embarrassment however is still running back into town accidently after doing a vanqi with friends in Mineral Springs. Right at last group we died somehow, rez'd, and l ran off the rez shrine not thinking...straight through the teleport back into town! Omg! Doh! Still makes me shake head in amazement.

Mine would have to be...

1) Erasing a two-year old character. I got this game back in May 2005. However, due to my crappy computer, I couldn't play it until 2007. When I came back, I saw that my character was still there, so I deleted her and started over. D'oh!! I wonder what minipets I lost!!

2) When I was first playing this game, in Post-Searing Ascalon, in "The Breach" area, I specifically remember a Golem dropping a Ruby. I didn't know what it was so I just merched it off.

3) Deleting a character before moving all of his stuff/gold into storage.

4)
