Tonight I bought an 8 req. flatbow unid'ed max damage for 5K... pretty good deal, thought he'd be asking more.... Anyways i buy it, go to identify, all of a sudden... the bow disappears and an unidentified grip is sitting there... im going.. wtf just happened... I FRIGGIN SALVAGED IT INSTEAD OF IDENTIFYING! Turns out the grip was +1 marksmanship/19% chance... GOD IM MAD! If that bow had been 15%>50 or something + the marksmanship grip, and i salvaged it.... seriously... would be so mad right now. Im already mad. Now all i have is a bow grip and no bow. Anybody else done something moronic like this recently?

I sold the +5 energy Long Sword collector item with a 20% enchantment pommel on it to the merchant last week. For those that dont know the item was removed from the game and arguably the best monk item available. BTW it was one day after I paid 12k for the pommel.

So pissed.

Ouch Man...I have that sword and it is my most treasured possession. Whenever I enter town, I make sure that it is my current weapon so there is no chance of selling it. Also, when it's not my selected weapon, it is in the last slot, of the last bag. I feel your pain man.

I was just being plain stupid. I had a purple chaos axe, not great mods put at the time it was the only decent weapon in my possesion, which had the Zealous mod and that didn't suit my farming technique. What did I do? I had no other axe haft upgrade and the Zealous mod wasn't just bad but also actually hindering my ability to farm. So I said to myself: "Why not just remove the mod completely from the axe?" It sounded like a good idea in my head so I went on and used my Salvage Kit on the axe and I only in the last second remembered that Salvaging an item destroys it; I hoped to just seperate the Zealous haft from the axe. But too late. I was stuck with a shit weapon and a bloody Zealous haft. I needed a weapon so I called a mate and asked him if he could trade me just an ok weapon for use until I found my own and then he overcharged me for the sodding axe.

I was mad, but I'm ontop again with a 14% in stance, max damage, gold Sephis Axe worth 50K for which I payed 4.

one thing you can do is uncheck everything except the backpack for selling.

makes it a pain to move stuff from the bags to the backpack just to sell it but that extra step has saved me many times.

another thing is to put a quest item (yes it uses up a slot) at the point you want any extra sell clicks to stop as it will hit that and not skip over it to the next item in line like that perfect sword you forgot to move

once i meant to salvage some piece of crap sword, and my salvage ran out on the items before it, i wasnt paying enough attention, so i double clicked the sword, which equipped it, then i noticed the salvage kit was gone, so i thought, oh well i will just sell this junk then, so i sold my good sword, didnt even realize it for a few hours, until i showed someone what equipment i used, and they asked why i used such a crappy sword(i had black 15k armor, a -2 damage shadow shield, and a 12-17 plain fellblade) i was a little pissed

Back when I was jes a GW youngin' I had a max damage Eternal Bow drop for me on my very first UW trip. After we got out of the UW I went to the ToA merchant to sell my junk & accidently sold the bow! After screaming for several hours, some Thorazine & a eventual trip to the Psych Ward of the local hospital I calmed down.

Was farming and I accidently salvaged my perfect axe.... ouch, I was pissed, but I farmed all day the next day and I bought another one... :O Now I leave my axe in the storage -_-

These arn't really screw ups... but i've lost count on how many times i've tried to salvage a perfect upgrade and gotten iron ingots.. or a +24 hp or something...

What I usually do is, before I sell I go through my inventory and put all the stuff I want to keep in the last bag and all the junk in the first bag. Sometimes I miss something and sell a black dye or somesuch though. I've never sold anything vital.

However, there was this one time... I had a piece of armor with a Superior Rune of Vigor on it. I bought it from the merchant way back when they were only like 5K. Now that they're 60K + I wanted to get it off that crappy armor and put it elsewhere. So I salvaged with an expert kit... I salvaged bolts of cloth instead.

Well if you salvage and get crappy stuff I understand. In your case, that hurt, since you weren't buying it for upgrades, but the inherent mods..
