What's the dumbest thing you've ever done in-game?

There's one in Stormhaven and one in Stonefalls that have enough HP to serve as decent substitutes

Thanks for the tip ooh and crocodiles!

I dodge rolled to escape the red rolling over a cliff edge and fell to my death - that was unexpected high up there, even with nearly full health I fell to my death there - and I had around 29k health.

Just yesterday I crafted a new gear set on my main and enchanted it all then turned it all gold. Only to find out I crafted all at cp150... Worst costly mistake ever! Lost about 140k mats..

Fall damage is a percentage of your health so it doesn't matter how much you have in absolute terms.

Ah, I didn't know that - I was just surprised that even 29k did not help me at all in that location.

I've actually made the mistake with CP160 items for writs as well a couple of times, but only because the vanilla crafting interface is crap. It changed the level of the item you were to craft randomly from CP150 to CP160 as you moved one item to the next; maybe this bug was fixed in the mean time but I don't really care now. I've gotten tricked a few times, lost 1-2 stacks of materials and decided to only craft writs using addons such as Lazy Writ Crafter; those don't mess up and simplify the process to such a degree that I can do the writs effortlessly on multiple characters in quick sucession. Other than that, my crafting has been pretty smooth, since I always double check before I craft something important for my characters or sale.

The dumbest thing I have done, and admittedly still do, is grind Dolmens to get characters to Level 50. Once you hit Level 50, you have such crappy gear and are very underpowered so the struggle to get out of that hole is tough.

Have your crafter make up a set of hundings/Juli, and dump it in the bank with whatever dropped set armour/weapons/jewelery you want that character to use, then as soon as it dings 50, run for the nearest bank and suit up. That's what I do when I'm levelling a new character.

Ran through Cyro at night and followed the group of 6-7 allies running to the gate of Chim.
I've collected the skyshard with them, then followed them to the temple of Chim where the mob battle started. I healed well, but those guys dealt so little damage. Two of them even ran away out of my springs somewhere and silly died there.
I kept the rest alive till one of them screamed to zone "<my name> stop healing me! I want to die!"
I've released that "die on mob" is some kind of battle gambit a bit later >.<

Stamplar is quite strong both in PvE and PvP. I don't see why anyone would regret making one.
- in PvE: gives the group Minor Fracture and Breach through PotL and Minor Sorcery thorough Illuminate passive from the same skill. Also it has very good AoE damage potential, though single target is slightly lower than other classes, but it's still well worth having one in a trial group.
- in PvP has very good burst, and can stack a lot of DoTs on top of PotL, mainly from bleeds

I sold A TON of alkahest In my guild store.... Only to realize 2k+ alkahest later I could have made double the profit if I just Npced it

Asked in guild chat if anyone could sell me Starmetal for a good price. I had no idea that it was sold by crafting vendors. I was ready to pay good gold for it too, because I thought it must be uber rare, and worth a lot since I could not find a single guild trader that had any for sale.

Doing crafting writs without Lazy Writ Creator addon on several chars for a year.
