Noobish Moments - Part 1
By Benja-might#5358 - SUBSCRIBER - July 13, 2010, 15:46:31I'm probably just as guilty as everyone when it comes to picking on noobs from time to time, but I thought it would be fun to "humble ourselfs" and write some Noobish Moments we have had. To make this more interesting, you need to state your level in which your noobish moment happened... obviously a noob moment at level 4 is kinda expected...lol. I'll start it out.
Level 187 - I started a Butcher profession on one of my alts, so I could get pet ghosts really easy. One day, to collect Bwork Arrow Heads for my Handyman profession, I decided to spam the Bwork dungeon with all 4 of my accounts. Once I was done, I transferred all my Bworky Pets over to my butcher character and headed for the Brakmar ws to kill them (they become a 1 pod item instead of 10 pods). I was slaughtering away, having a grand-ol-time, probably even whistling... the black sun was shining bright (I was in brak...lol), and the skeletons bones had a slight "glow" to them... all was perfect... UNTIL... a couple days later, I realized I could not find my 1000 pod Bwork I use for professions!! That's when I realized, I had not only slaughtered it, but sold it in the brakmar market for 2kk! OUCH!! *Sheds a little tear*
Needless to say, I am now leveling 12 Bworks, 1 to keep, and 11 to sell...lol.

My server haven't any Chamaleon Dragonturkey yet. I saw a sacrier with koolich set mounting a diferent one in Amakna. I started to ask what kind of mount is that, and so on. And he didn't answer at all.
AFK, I thought. So, I moused over to see his name and... a NPC. LOL.
I had two other histories about my guild mates.
One of them bought a tofu candy from a PC on merchant mode for 1mk. He clicked to see why it's so expensive and bought it instead.
The other, at exact 100 level, sram agi, was just taked the moon hammer (before the nerf, before all chars 100- getting 5hp/level). He attacked a piwi on Astrub only to see the spell, but he didn't saw your own hp (1). He died, on level 100 to a piwi and become a ghost.
Oh my gosh, these were great! I espeically like the NPC story...lol. I do hope more postings get put on this forum, because these are awesome. Thanks Seghed.
I got stuck in Incarnum, the first time I played the game, I got stuck in the very top of the floating island, and I couldn't figure out how to get out (didn't know what the sun stars did), so I constantly spammed the incarnum chat, "Help me! I'm stuck in Incarnum and I can't get out". I got a lot of LOLs and ROFLs, but no one thought I was stupid enough to not figure it out... 3 days later (hand't been playing the whole time) I ran to the edge of the map, one final time, and I teleported to another map. Same problem. xD Within 10 minutes I figured out what the suns did. :"> Embarassing.
Giving buffs to the wrong (an enemy) gobball and not realizing it until it charged and smacked me twice that turn...both times critical with added damage. What possessed me to click the sprite instead of the picture at the bottom is beyond me. I'm not color blind either, I swear! <_<
Amazingly getting to lvl 7 with no weapon or equipment, until another player showed me where to buy things from! No wonder I kept dying a lot.
Being scared because my energy was getting toward 0, and wondering if that meant "Game over".
See? Even Mentors were noobs once!
well my noobish moment is going on right now, few days/weeks backwards i FRIGGING USED MY 2MK FOR EQUIPS I CAN'T USE TILL LVL129....
mine isnt nearly as good as some but here goes
I had just got my osa to about 155 and felt it was time to try a new weapon I had been told about and had seen someone use (a fire maged andy war sword, even though it was a bit below my lvl it just looked fun to use) I already had a very nice hammer sheys but seeing this sword just tempted me and I'm a weapons collector so ended up deciding to make it for fun.
spent I think 2 days playing and getting the mats (I didnt want to buy stuff and scurvion entrails are annoying to drop) and finally made it then maged it myself before proudly showing it in guild chat to lots of congratulations and 1 person asking who it was for since I didnt have an iop or eca
I really should have checked the conditions and the fact it was impossible for me to use before making it...

I laughed so hard reading this one... I could so see myself doing this...lol.
oh, another noobish moment was when I found out, on my level 14 osamoda, how to move the spells from the spell bar to the useable bars (I was so happy then
forgot I had been experimenting with diff spell placement on my spell bar then when a monster ran up to me on my first turn. as I was surrounded by allies I immediatly hit the shrtcuts to claw him twice then cast ap onto the allies near me
of course POC was now in the place of claw on the pell bar and I hit 3 allies as well as my intended target.
I'm not going to fiddle with spell placements again for a while
Oh my gosh, this was a great one! Thanks.
Hours and hours running between wells....
