Stories of Newbness (no n00bness)Follow

I asked Tahkguard to stop singing the cake song on Gorgonash

Thats the excat same thing i went through...oh how i miss the newb days...

Rofl.

That pretty much made my day.

Although mine aren't nearly as bad as some, given I check WoW out alooot before I got into it, they're still pretty bad.
Technically, I am still a newb(n00b?) as my highest level character is 22, =D,I still don't know what more than half of these abbreviations stand for.
But anyways. I remember getting to level 16 or so, and being like, 'FTW, WHY CAN'T I JOIN GENEREAL CHAT!?!' When it's so obvious. I felt like a complete idiot.

Everyone knows how the creatures in the starting areas don't go aggro on you unless you attack them first, right?
Well I thought it was the same for every monster.
Enough said.

Getting to UC, getting lost for 30 minutes in the elevator area. I realized I had been going to that trick door that closes as soon as you get to it, over and over and over...


That's basically it, although I'm sure my stories of newbness will not end there.
=]

Well... I got a couple.

First character was an UD warrior. Got alch because I thought I would have infinate potions so I would never die. I also got eng because I wanted bombs. Nuff said. Gave up.

Second was Orc Hunter, because I wanted a pet. Named him Xxlegolasxx. Leveled to 29 not knowing what an instance was.

Got as much +arcane damage as I could for arcane shots.

I kept seeing people talk in "General" I had NO idea what it was, so I would look around, thinking someone was talking to me.

I thought night elf chicks were hot.

Horde were mean to me, so I rerolled an alliance gnome warlock because I thought they were the "good guys" so they would be nice to me. They wern't. =(

Made ANOTHER warlock (UD) cause I saw a succubus and thought it was hot. Learned about instances, and found out warriors were the only horde that could wear mail. I was greedy, so I rolled a tauren (cause they looked funny) warrior thinking no one could ever steal my gear. I'm am currently a level 60 tauren warrior. No epic mount. =(


EDIT: This didn't happen to me, but it was on my warrior. Cobrahn's Grasp dropeed in WC, and I was the only warrior so I was like "YES!! AWESOME GEAR!" So... I needed. And, the Hunter needed it also. He told me he needed it for level 40..

when i first started playing i couldn't figure out how to equip items so i would put them in my spell toolbar and it worked. i thought i was hot **** until my brother, lvl 60 shadow priest Toot, saw what i was doing and was like ,"WTF are u retarted". i propmtly replied that i was and he showed me the proper way to equip things.

Dwarf Cleric?

More: I didn't know what did the Gold and Silver Dragons (elite and rare symbols) mean. I attacked Ressan the rare bat and he used his silence on me and killed me easily so I thought silver dragon means very strong mob... hahaha

Well, a few days ago, I was headed to WPL to get some herbs and I see this level 6-ish (less than 10) player walking twords the plaguelands. I say "What are you doing? You're gonna die if you go in there." He says, "I need to get to Booty Bay to redeem my WoW Trading Card." I invite him into the group, open a portal to Org., tell him to hop in. When we get to Org., I ask him, "What FPs do you have?" He says, "None. I've only been playing about a week." So, I help him. We grab the Org. FP, proceed to X-roads for that FP, then I walked him to Ratchet and got that FP. We hopped the boat to Booty Bay (oops...I fell in the water /blush but I made it back onto the boat) and when we got there I got him the FP there. He was looking for the guy to talk to about the card, I didn't know where he was, but I looked it up on here. Finally, after about 10 minutes of actually walking around and trying to find him, I spotted him and told him, "Hey, he's over here." He got his tabard thing and I go "Well, I'm going to open a portal to the Undercity for you....since that is where you should be questing and killing and such." He got back to Undercity and he goes, "Thanks! I would've been so lost without the help!"

I felt like I did a good thing. :) And, he only died once during the whole thing... I kinda didn't notice that he had aggro until it was too late.

(Not really a noob story, but in a way, sorta.)

Thanks for all the "heads up" messages posted here guys! This is good stuff for a guy like me to read (because I am a total noob in this game), and points out a lot of things I need to make myself aware of.

Currently I'm one of those FFXI bums, playing WoW on the 10 day trial, and falling more in love with my Orcan Shaman every day. I can see why so many FFXI people switch to WoW.

I'm still kind of a newb, but n e way, I have a troll hunter, and taught him skinning and leatherworking, didn't know how to use leatherworking until I was already a master skinner. I got so excited that I could skin what I killed that I forgot to learn how to use the leather, so I just kept selling it until my friend told me how to use it. I was lvl 20 with 0 leatherworking and 175 skinning. I have since compensated and spent my next 4 levels just skinning and leatherworking. Now I'm back to where I should have been. but I still haven't touched my fishing or first-aid professions, they're still 0. lol

This was definitely the best thread I ever started. AWESOME stories and hopefully some help to either people starting out or who weren't smart enough to bang two rocks together when presented with a situation (like those of us who've posted :P).

I can't really think of any more big newb moments but I do recall thinking BRD was LBRS and LBRS was UBRS and had no clue where BRD was.

ok this is not exactly a newb thing but I think it's funny anyway.
yesterday I finally completed my quest for the felhunter.
full of emotion I summon it...
it appears...
I check on the name...
OH-MY-GOD
'KHAAGUUN'
now, this name will not mean anything for the most part of you, but I'm italian, and in italian KHAAGUUN souns pretty much like CAGONE, which is a person that ***** too much... not eactly a resounding name that should instill fear in the heart of the enemies...
I want my money back!!!
