What is the dumbest thing you’ve done in-game?

January 11, 2007 By Gitr 5 Comments

Let’s help out any noobs that come here looking for wisdom. We’ve all made stupid, stupid mistakes at some point.

I’ll lead the way, with my tail between my legs:

I had just learned how to transmute Heart of Fireย into Elemental Fireย and was buying up mats in the AH. I had recently sold a stack of 5 Arcanite Barsย and had a ton of money. I saw several listings that were cheap and selected the top listing because the whole area was riddled with 80s-90s listings. Unfortunately, the top listing was a bid of 79s and a buyout of 90g, not silver. I accepted my buyout, assuming it was 90s. Ouch.

    Ouch. I have (thankfully) not fallen for the ‘lowbid-highbuyout’ con. I think the stupidest thing I have done is I spent an hour hunting ONE elite hammer head shark off the coast of Menthil Harbor. He didnea drop anything. He wasn’t part of a quest. I just saw him and lost him so i stuck round waiting for him to return. I then kilt him and bragged about it in /gchat. Everyone got a good laugh since I had been giving play-by-plays the whole time. I also announce everytime I kill a low level boss in a dungeon so eveyone can know that the world is a litle safer….until the next reset.

    P.S. Is there a Xmute for Heart of fire – Essence of fire? I dont think I’ve ever heard of that one.

    OOPS I read that wrong then. Still I did not know there was a Xmute for Heart of fire- elemental fire.

    Woah, then you are really missing out if you are an alchemist. Get your rep up with the Thorium Brotherhood immediately! It has a 10 minute cooldown. You should be able to make anywhere from 3-10g per hour, depending on prices of mats, selling price, and how much HoF you farm.

    I used to Xmute during raids and other stuff with a kitchen timer set to 10 minutes.

    Glad I could help. ๐Ÿ™‚
