Brain Fart of the Century

[vmissouril]

I was preparing to make ribbons becuase i acqired 32 dyes. since I wasnt close to LOY I had an alt there...so i put the plat in the shared bank and logged on the alt to get the ribbons.....I forgot they were NO DROP...im out 3.3k because my brain ceased to function for a few seconds....

any similar stories?

ouch
no worst I have done is forgetting levitation is lore when researched and had one spell on me, did second combine and watched my components go poof. Sal

[merkell]

Thats cause you were busy thinking about me.

Did the final combine on the Royal Velium Brestplate, when i already had one in my backpack. POOF....

This was back in the day, when the BP sold for like 20k.

I did that too….

The worst ive ever done way back when was combining stacks of platnium bars and rubies to fail on a ruby veil when it would let you combine by stacks lol

[Trentazra]

I once foraged mushrooms for hours to get one stack, then accidently combined that entire stack to try to make 1 ohabah truffle :\

I accidently pressed the close button instead of combine while working in a world container with a no drop item inside. Can't remember what the item was it was so long ago, but I remember being really really angry Must've blocked it from memory.... wasn't shawl either. hehe

Before pressing Alt would label every item in your bag for you, I was always grabbing electrum thinking it was gold and making the wrong item in jewelry kit or something like that. Did this a couple times and it was frustrating to see a bracelet pop out where it should have been an earring, only to realize it was the wrong metal.. doh :P

Have also combined unenchanted metal for customers back in the day, thinking it was from my enchanted pile. I think somewhere around there is when I developed my habit of quadruple checking things even though NPCs now hand back wrong items and combines don't work if it won't result in any item. /sigh hehe

Lol, looking back on my list, I think a lot of the safeguards they put in today were perhaps a result of my anger-fueled feedbacks after each incident =x They're actually kinda funny now though!

I was making ribbons for a run of Loy robes...I was all excited casue a guildie had made me about 60 swatches. Imagine my dismay when I realized I hade made 60 of the wrong ribbon (gold indigo instead of silver indigo). Not one of my finer moments.

[Hunee]

I also used an alt to buy ribbons in LoY the other night, Luckily she is a tailor too so it worked out ok.

I did the Levitation combine with one in the bank too and lost it
Back when Levitation was still selling for 20k too.

[Ortrillian]

Yah I did that too. I also used a forge or something as an extra backpack and put 3 stacks of ribbons in it for safe keeping while I did combines...then I hit escape and that window closed and POOF all gone. Luckily a GM reimbursed me.

[Milwean]

Icant count thenumber of times i have made a rallic pack with one allready in my invntory.

back when I was doing my 3rd shawl I spent hours to get the 4 griffin eggs required. Then I put them in a oven and realized I forgot to cast int/wis buff on myself. I closed the oven, cast the buff, open the oven, eggs are gone. That was back in the day when i didnt' realize no drop stuff goes poof when the tradeskill container is closed.

I also gave a banker 10k once in the bazaar cause I had so much lag I was lucky to get a tradewindow not realizing it wasn't bank window.

Also a while back I was making the mounted gems for a friend for his GM trophy instead of putting 2 velium bars + BD i put 1 velium bar + BD and hit combine. Unimbued BD bracer didn't impress my friend.

Ick, I can see how that could be very bad. Guess that's why the "Done" button on a world container now grays out the moment you stick a No Drop in it?

Ouch. I ate one souffle egg, at one point, but I had already completed my baking step. I was still horrified, though, when I realized what I had done.
