  • Brain Fart of the Century

    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?

        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.

            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

              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.

                  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.

                    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.

                        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.
