I'm sure all of us have had our moments of pain... but look at what happened to me when I was farming for Glittering Dust in Kryta... I was distracted... I didnt see on time... Damn damn damn damn damn... I couldnt bring myself to press the return to outpost button... I kept hoping I'd be ressed by some unknown force...
Do share your own painfull experiences to easy my pain.

First day of playing GW I looted some black dye from a bandit just outside of ashford abbey, not know it's worth I sold it to a merchant for 1gp.

Btw, as for not ever finding a Black Dye... well, I've found 6 in 4 months of playing. And I mean playing a LOT... 3 of those were in Pre...

Had 8 black dyes while still under 400 hours playing. Sold them all during the market 'stablization'. Made a small fortune.

I have only gotten 1 black dye my entire time playing. However, i have found a sup vigor rune, so im good for the compensation.

Doh!
I wonder how many people, other than myself, have meant to identify a gold item and ended up with wood planks?

/cringe Bolts of cloth, in my case...

Yeah. Bad mistake on my part.

I have come across exactly 1 black dye and zero ectos or shards. And wouldn't you know it, I sold that black dye for 4,200... a week before prices skyrocketed.

I was in ToA when a friend of mine mistakenly sold his 105 shards and 105 ectos to the trader. O.o;; apparently they were supposed to be at the bottom of the list, and he was to slow down so as not to sell them. They were in the middle, and got caught up in the selling spree.

One time i was farming at _____.... and a gold fellblade dropped. req 9. My first ever and only i';ve seen, however i died when it dropped. i res'd at shrine and kept trying to go and pick it up, but kept dying. Had 60 dp. and 1 hp, and it was impossible to do nething. it was too far into the monsters and i kept dying, sucked how i had to leave and let that gold there. t.t

I used an expert salvage kit on my gloves which had a superior vigor rune in them. I GOT CLOTH!

As for black dye, I've found 2 and bought a 3rd for 1k.

I was in Underworld with a group and someone was a genius and aggrod a bunch of coldfires to the reaper by the smite crawlers. as we killed one he dropped ecto. that was my first ecto drop in the game. i went to pick it up and my inventory was full. so i started to re-arange stuff. and as i was about to pick it up. they killed the reaper. because for some odd reason. our monk ran away. i was pissed.

Heh, that reminds me of the one time when in FoW a shard dropped for me and just as I had clicked on it and my character was already performing the animation to pick it up I get an Err-7. Well, shards are not that precious, but still.

Worst I know of was my friend selling 30 ecto to the merchant.
