What was the worst accidental mistake you've made in-game?

Deconstructing a burning spellweave inferno staff 😑

Baconlad · May 2019

Maining a templar for 5 years...still hooked on the character. But its something strange and disheartening to play a class that is the weakest in all but specced healing...and getting nerfed in all but a handful of patches. There has never been a patch that magplar was OP. And stamplar has had various levels of...meh, sometimes better, sometimes worse.

Other specs like blazing shield builds and next patch dark flare glass canon builds have been nerfed into creating useless skills.

I still play it though, Haha. I love it. Nothing more fun than pokey poke poke on my templar...

Oh my list goes on and on, LOL! Numerous times of running my mount at full speed and neglecting to see a break in the bridge or road until I take a dive into lava below it; purchasing a motif for lots & then finding I already had it; accidently selling off something I crafted thinking it was random junk; and...getting the notorious Sweetroll in a free crate drop and not realizing that I could have turned it in for 400 jewels. That sweetroll sits shining away on one of my home's tables now reminding me that ' haste makes waste'!

@Ashryne
You can still exchange the sweetroll, iirc. Take it out of your house, have it in your inventory, then on that character go to gem extraction.

Learnt a super expensive and rare motif chapter I intended to link in chat. 100k missed...

I got a master writ for a gold ring, with that trait that requires you to buy the mat from the master writs vendor. For some reason I had one in my bag.
Got the ring done and upgraded to purple, only to realize I was one plating short to make it gold.

I thought about locking it and waiting until I had enough gold platings. I went about my in-game day, and as usual, by the end of the day, I deconned everything I had no use for. Get to the jewelry station and go "cool! A purple ring. Let's see if I get a grain out of it."

I used my only 4 purple platings to make that ring. The quest sat on my journal for more than a month. And no, I did not get a grain out of the ring when I deconned it.

Buying 5 stupid flags for 100k each.
Hopefully support reimbursed me.

What? Templars are crazy strong. Change up some stuff and your Templar will be a beast. My Magplar is my solo get stuff done character.

daveqjr · May 2019

Deleted a character without emptying my storage chests first. I lost 30 Maelstrom weapons and 30 monster pieces. This used to be a bug, maybe still is?

Fermian · May 2019

Crafting and upgrading a set but it was lvl 1.

firedrgn · May 2019

I made a legenday nirn bow hundings for someone.

Instead of cod for the agreed price i sent the gold with the bow.

Sheezabeast · May 2019

Once I was making a legendary blacksmithing writ and I realized I made and improved a basic sword instead of one from the set because I forgot to slide the thing over at the station ;_;

The_Saint · May 2019

Crafting 5 pc hundings for a friend and lvl it up to legendary. Then realised it was cp 150 not cp160

OOOhh yes. Did this for myself.

Went into a vet dungeon, wondered why my dps seemed a little low. Checked in the middle of the final boss to see that I hadn't equiped my velidreth shoulders.

I was in a vet DLC dungeon once as a healer. One of the DPS was unusually bad even though he was max level. Mid-way through, he says "oops ... I still have my PvP armor on. I forgot to change it. LOL."
Hey, at least he didn't go in there with no armor at all. Ha ha.

Anotherone773 · May 2019

This is a bit ridiculous but last night i was looking to spend event tickets on another feather and i was hovering over them to see which ones i had. I sneezed out of nowhere and the sneeze caused me to purchase the wrong feather. Much to my annoyance you cannot sell the event items back to the merchant so i just wasted 10 tickets for nothing.

have probably wasted about 30 or 40 tickets in this game so far which makes this whole jumping through hoops, limited tickets at a time, limited time items, etc a pain. This ticket event is actually more headache than it is worth because it has been so poorly thought out that just frustrates people.

Acharnor · May 2019

I crafted and golded out a couple of pieces of gear before realizing I was not using the Set at the crafting station, just the generic pieces of gear. I felt gutted. I belong to am amazing guild though and some generosity got me on track! I check check double check every time I craft now.

MrsPink · May 2019

Cant count the amount of times i have done my writs and made everything 160 instead of 150...

Aulus_Claudius · May 2019

I'm sure I've done worse, but just recently accidentally crafted a set bow at clv150 rather than 160 and upgraded it to gold before I noticed the problem when I couldn't apply the glyph.

Managed to sell it for the cost of the gold upgrade materials, but ouch.

Queued for random normal without any gear at all, not even weapons, was leveling two alts and they shared gear and forgot to move it, that pretty much define false healer. "sory no gear" and left group.

Healing first boss in vWGT using an medium stealth set who broke SPC and another set, could not understand why I had no sustain

Skysenzz · May 2019

Bought a Spriggan's maul for my Stamden PvP, put it to gold, changed trait to Nirn, then I bought the enchant for it... The thing was cp 140.

KappaKid83 · May 2019

When I first started playing in 2015 I improved some of my gear to gold and then deconed it for 1 gold material back thinking the return was muliplicative... I am an idiot

Cpt_Teemo · May 2019

Change my answer

My worst dumbest thing was spending 17m to get max JC on all 15 of my chars in the first week of SI launch, rather than waiting and it becoming so much cheaper now from 600g per to 10g per lol

LordTareq · May 2019

I accidentally bought the wrong monster helmet version, the one that costs 100.000 gold instead of the AP version. Costly mistake

Gherkin · May 2019

I opened the crown store.

i was going to send a million gold to my nephew and end up sending it to some random mofo.

It will be a pleasant surprise when he sees that he has a strange mail.

ESO, lacking an reply button since beta.
I once sent some training armor to the wrong guy, he was nice and sent it back
Once I got one potato from an unknown player

I now have a new goal in this game. Potato spam ftw

Buying orsinium.

EvilAutoTech · May 2019

I golded out my first prismatic greatblade

at level 45

During a New Life festival, I bought Autumn's Gate (EU server) for an easy way to get to Eastmarch.

I also used my private guild bank to fund housing purchases for each of my alt accounts so that characters could get "free" jumps to various zones (snugpod, sisters of the sands, the flaming nix and the hammerdeath).

Later I learned you can travel to every base game zone for free by using the alliance navigators.

While doing research on jewelry I had purchased crafted rings of all traits. One night I deconned infused, bloodthirsty, harmony and triune. At the time, those were going for 50 to 80k. I still have one grain of each of those trait materials to mock me whenever I refine jewelry mats.

Worst mistake I ever made was reading any of the lorebooks or quest dialogue.
