One time after I respecced... I for some reason forgot to put points back to crafting passives... Then I improved two daggers to gold without realizing how many tempering alloys I used Since that day I use only old metal weapons which I already have, that loss hurt me deeply

Dang...servers still down. Okay one more I have to share.

In my noobolescence a zone troll had several people going (myself included) that you should be careful around the deer since they were actually devs looking for cheaters.

Mained a Breton Stam DK for about a year

So many things...too many to mention.....Nooby Noobicus here ;-)

I went in Imperial city sewers for the first time the other night sneaking about and was struggling to find the way out and not understanding how travel and getting from A to B in Cyrodiil works at all. I was concentrating so hard, pretty tired and felt pretty safe in the long windy corridor when I walked smack into some giant boss thing that patrols the corridor I wasn't expecting. I fumbled and got stuck on a wall and basically wiped out.

Entered maelstrom arena thinking id enjoy it.

I bought the glass motif book in the store for 5k crowns and then activated it on the wrong character ..

2 i can think of.


round 7 of vMA going for deathless, actually rolled OFF the ****** map over the cliff and died as the boss died.

came back from a long break to the release of IC. it took me almost 10 days to realize that you could bank tel var.

Bought Black Rose gear from the Tel Var merchant (not the containers) thinking how convenient it was and that they were in impen. Upgraded all 5 pieces to gold before I realized they were 150 and not 160.

My first main was a Nightblade, weapons were all Stam but all class skills were Mag back then. So had my stats almost evenly divided, almost totally useless. There were probably builds to work around that, but I didn't know or spend any time researching.

On my Mag Sorc, originally I used Crystal Blast morph. It does hit hard and AOE, but no free Frags. And until a while ago, I was still hard-casting frags most of the time (finally got an add-on to alert me so I can stop doing that).

Almost every dungeon grouping seems like the dumbest thing someone's done, so I don't do it often. Either the healer can't heal, the tank can't taunt, or someone stands in red (usually not me…) I have a hard time believing people do that for fun.

I had to search for this topic just to put in what I did last night...

came home after a few drinks and decided to upgrade one of my sharp spriggans swords with 7 tempers... 87.5% success chance.. I said... it will work, I said.

it did not work.

I had to buy another this morning at an inflated price.

Wandered inn to PvP for the first time not knowing how it worked at all and tried to one man a scroll

Last night while running normal Santum Ophidia, while crossing that long bridge with the stonebreaker of note, I was standing on the side right next to a hole and 1 guy ran around me only to fall to his death. Wahahaha I was all the time until moments later inside the corridors just up the stairs killing mobs, saw last enemy halve way down the stairs and as I was about to go down the stairs, it happened, yeah turned into Alice and went down that hole...8min I waited for fight to end

Come to think of it, basically I've done all that was mentioned in this thread one form or another during my nooblessness days. Ooooh, the crafting blunders, from that 87.5% failed chance that I will never take again right to deconstructing bought nirnhoned pieces for research because they were white.
From my LTP "o that red circle" days to "streaking" off screen into oblivion.
At least I blame most of my "streak" into oblivion on lag. Press bar swop nothing happens, press bar swop again and then not realizing it swopped twice right back to the bar I was on, hit elemental wall only to streak.

Well to date even with all the knowledge and all that I've learned, I still surprise myself, mumbling something like: Well that was stupid, I must not do that again.

I bought a sword last night thinking it was CP160 and couldn't work out why the stats were low, turns out it was only Level 42.
That was a real lesson in love.
