Ouch... sold rubies to the merchant

My bad i was selling shitty drops to the trader and before i realized i was lagging i sold by mistake a lot of things... i saved my sapphires but rubies were gone.
let u do the math as it hurts...
the trader gave me nearly 37500 gold
best part is that if i had 2500 more gold on me i wouldn't have had enough room to sell rubies.

allow anyone to /point and /laugh at me


edit: sry i edited after a mod edited me i had to correct a typo

I use my holiday items as "blockers" to keep me from inadvertently selling my important items should they be on the first inventory screen. The rest, I usually keep checked off on merch screens so I don't accidentally sell my gear. ><

That's a good idea. I've always though a locking option on bags might work as well.

To the OP... Indeed ouch.... I know the feeling.

Corwin

800k, gone like that...ouch

wow...farm much...lol

bummer guys

No sh!t farm much... In nine months I've never found a single ruby or sapphire.

actualy they were part of the payment for a 15^50 dwarven i got in hoh

um you can lock bags you know?

just above the items there's your bags with ticks over them, if you click on a tick they will no longer be visible in the sell.

Gosh...dude...that just bites...

Well, at least now you've learnt your lesson, we'll save the criticising for the next time you make such a silly mistake ^^

That's an interesting thing

You can also use a 'quest item' to block item sellling. Quest items can't be sold so you can save your good items this way.

My sympathies! I once sold a red dye by mistake in sort of the same way.

Sorry, but as an addicted player who plays GW for fun just about every night, I just have to say that I am amazed totally that you had so many rubies to sell in the first place. Like, in all my time playing I and my party members have found total about 5 ruby and sapphire drops! So you must be doing a heck of a lot of hours farming!

That's a big Whoopssss!!

I felt like a fool to before. i had 4 ectos, sold them withourt looking. Now I use a candy cain shard to seperate the others.

I keep all my valuables in storage. I always visit storage after a run before I go to the merchant to drop off anything good I may have picked up. I know, a lot of people's storage is full though. I usually don't hang on to stuff for long, so I almost always have room in storage for my high end items.

best post in this discussion... i'll try this as soon as i get back home.
if only i had known this before... now i'll just lock the 4th bag and i'll store there all the materials i use to trade... thanks

as i just said, the only thing i "farm" is hoh... if an average 2hours pvp a day can be considered "farming".
all the ectos and gems i have come from selling hoh rewards. a single lucky drop can worth 500rubies easily. ask anyone that plays hoh.
i used the word "lucky" with the meaning of "once in a lifetime"... i recently got a 15^50 dwarven axe. 70% of my richness come from that drop

Thats what I do too.............. Halloween hat has saved many an item in my day.

That and storage, most things that I am going to not use for a bit, like crafting material, I keep in there.

that pumpkin head stands out like a sore thumb and blocks nicely

i also sell only out of my backpack and leave the belt pouch/bags unchecked.

when i sell i have to actually move anything out of the bags to the backpack to make a sale.

it takes a bit more time and effort but i have never sold a single item by accident after doing this

I used my halloween items and holiday items as blocker for all my precious weapons and items. And i usually double check the items that i'm merchanting off.

Ouch dude that must of hurt badly,i dont rly use anything as a blocker just dont click sell so quickly and look at what ur selling before clicking thats wat i normally do.

I have in each of my inventories a Gwen-quest-item (e.g. Gwen's flute) so I can't sell my important items like weapons, dyes or rare materials.
