The stupid things I've done thread

i accidentally dyed my backpack when i was searching for something to apply my first dye to

I had gotten a purple dye drop but managed to trade it for a red one. Well, I happened to be using an Elementalist whos newbie armor is black and red. When I dyed the armor...IT CAME OUT LOOKING THE SAME! ugh! Lesson learned.

Woah, woah.. hold up... there's a secondary market for belt pouches?

Hm...

How much do they tend to go for?

----

My own mistakes:

Like seemingly EVERYBODY else, I started applying dyes to my newbie armors before I had any idea whatsoever of what they were worth.... Then I decided the new colours looked goofy and paid cash for a dye remover to get rid of them

I used to keep selling my unnecessary crafting materials to merchants before I realized you can get way more cash from materials traders or other players. Oh, and people who buy wood are silly. EVERY bloody thing you find salvages into wood.

I bought a barbed rinblade of charrslaying for 125g.

I crafted my own steel ingot instead of just buying one. That's 10 planks of wood + 200g for charcoal, then charcoal + 10 iron ingots + 200g. 400g plus materials costs for one lousy steel ingot. It turned into a good helmet, mind you.. but still.

I ran headfirst into a bunch of charr (near althea's ashes) when I clicked on the ground instead of whatever I was supposed to be doing.

I also replaced my elementalist robes from the "good" merchant in Ascalon city (150g/ item 30armor) with the pyromancer one from the "bad merchant' (50g/item 15 armor) not paying attention and thinking "wow the prices go down as you level up" Then I proceeded to sell the elementalist robes for 9g

I still have problems doing that ctrl + click on your exp bar thing to announce how close to level you are. Sometimes it works, most times it doesnt.

You can do the belt pouch quest over and over in pre-searing Ascalon and stock up on belt pouches. They sell for 5 measly gold to a vendor in pre-searing Ascalon. They sell for 50 gold to a vendor in post searing Ascalon. So right before entering the academy, load up on these bad boys.

oh my goodness.. thanks for that, I never knew.

When I first got the game I got my level 1 Warrior, went outside and down to that small river, and started fighting the creatures there... about 3 attacked me at once (those things get crazy!) and before long I was dead.

Apparently the entire time I had been looking up there at the top of the screen at THEIR health instead of MY health over to the right.

I tried to flee but they caught up to me and killed me before I could make it anywhere. I guess it helps to have a look around before entering the frey...

ok, before I make the same mistake, what's a purple salvage drop? and what am I SUPPOSED to do with it instead of using a salvage kit on it?

1) Killed the bull in pre-searing with my newb ranger. I should wait and charm it.

2) Repeated a quest twice and realized it might actually be a *joke* quest.
3) Tried to rush the Large Aloe Seeds in Wizard's Folley with my M/R.

4) Didn't save my rune hammers because I needed the space (do they really contain runes?).

5) Sold my best weapon simply because it wasn't equiped.

6) Hoard "collectables" instead of salvaging them esp once I have everything I need from the collectors.

7) Walk into a corner with allies/Gwen following me.

8) Tried to take just one more group of monsters before resting XX.

9) Died my starter stuff green.

10) Despite having a better hammer I went questing with all my buffs in axes since my axe was just that cool.

I think the cape for Gwen does something (gives her more powers?).

the item name is colored in purple instead of blue like the normal unidentified. I too used a regular salvage kit on my one drop, because I thought it wouldn't work on the purple item and hadn't gotten to yak's bend yet.

only thing i've done is wasted a few dyes on my current armor :P dyed it like 4 times ... lol ^_^ purple, red, green, orange, yellow, and right now the gloves and tunic are black, and the leggings and boots are silver :P

Oh, I've done #7 or walking up on a hill with Gwen and my trial ranger cat and not being able to move until they skip away.

I accidentally sold my identification kit once, and another I accidentally bought two salvage kits. Hurt the wallet, real bad

oh yah... i wasted 200 gold on a cape for gwen, and she didnt even take it... lol :P

Unless you leave your inventory screen open you don't get a lot of feedback for your purchases. I did the same thing once or twice but I used them anyways.

I've bought the two salvage kits. I ended up using them though. Good on long runs.

uh oh....see, I'm actually a bit color blind, its hard for me to tell the difference between similar colors like red/orange, green/brown and blue/purple. i really REALLY hope I didn't make the purple drop mistake already

is there any other distiction between purple and blue items?

hmm....this ones easy.

1.IN pre-searing, fought the charr north of the great wall, deathh sooo many times, while thinking there had to be a strategic way to kill them.... If you've done it, you know they PWNURSTUPIDAZZ

2. Did not know as a warrior once your on a target youll follow them forever...I first played a pvp char, and everytime they moved I tried to follow them using WASD ... and always thought.....how come all these other warriors are liking homing missiles!?!?!

3. Tried to kill the rogue bull as a Ele, with only a starter wand, with no mesmer skills.

4. Bought more than one cape for Gwen...cause I though maybe she wanted 2?

5. Didn't realize that the green water was killing me in the catacombs....

6. In PVP I kept pressing T, cause I didn't know you use CTRL+Space (do it) to call a target...wondering why it never called anything.

7. Pre-ordering from Fry's Electronics...worst item ever...(censor's icon) my wife has a war pick

Now I don't feel so bad... I did the same thing while trying to move my dye into my backpack, I accidentally double clicked on the dye.



Now I have this Bright green backpack... Hard to miss in the items menu.

you can dye your backpack?
