lol When i first started a warlock in WOW i didnt know that u had talents until lvl 48... not kidding :'( a kind guildy told me u had em lol

I leveled my hunter up to about 29 without ever doing an instance. The first one I did was gnomeregan. I didn't understand how aggro worked because I had always fought one mob at a time. Everything was okay until we got to the dark iron dwarves. I decided to try out my new multi-shot skill to do extra damage. The group wouldn't even rez me after that.

I leveled my warrior up to 20 solo, so I knew nothing of stances. Some people invited me to tank, but I had no clue about how to use my skills to hold aggro. Yes, there were many choice words directed at me that day. After the group wiped, I discretely rezzed at the graveyard and disappeared into obscurity. I retired from playing warrior because the memories pain me.

I had never seen a blue item drop for my class, so I was used to rolling greed on everything. I was playing my priest and a really good BOP blue healing item dropped from a boss (don't remember what) and of course I roll greed. A rogue wins the greed roll and gets a what for him is a junk blue. Everyone is whispering "Why didn't you roll NEED?" to me. Ah, that is what the other button is for!

A couple of my favourites.

- Walking into WPL at level 10 and wondering why that bear is charging so fast at me. (Why the hell is it so close to TF anyway!?)
- Rolling an Alliance Paladin
- Thinking with my Hunter I had to equip the skinning knife to skin...
- Buying the slots in the bank but not putting in a bag, was wondering why I couldn't put more things in there...
- Getting drunk and listening to a few party members when they said my Voidwalker could tank in SFK so we didn't need a tank. Crash wipe much?
- And my favourite, selling Recipe: Cooked Deviate Fish on the AH for 50s OB and 1g 50s BO. I was so happy! My first gold! I then got a /w from the guy saying he would have paid 15g...
- Oh, and an even better one. Selling Recipe: Lifestealing Enchant for 125g :X I could have sold it for 1500g...

Yeah, I'm not a great business man.

where to begin...

- had to ask a friend what RFC meant (and why people were asking me if I wanted to...)

- Charged into a sheep pull and promptly set of a thunderclap

- Leeroy'd the party by charging the boss before everyone was set.

- was taught how to tank by a mage

- Thought you needed to have a skinning knife to do the lowbie pelt collecting quest (btw gathering quests SUCK BALLS!!!)

I'm just going to go crawl under a rock now... STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!!!

Man, leave your thread for a while and it grows big and strong. :P

Heres a couple more:

Playing my Druid through SM I didn't roll NEED on Doan's staff (Illusionary Rod) despite it being a massive upgrade because I didn't want to seem like a ninja in a PUG. I was also the only one who would actually USE a staff in the party. He refused to drop it the next few times but I did get it running a bud through at 60. ROFL

Out of respect for a guildmate I will not completely share his story but I will say this: put the names of your alts (especially bank toons) on your friends list so when you send them something you don't accidently spell the wrong name and give gold or gear to some random person. If they're on your friends list the mail system will autofill the name for you. This means you can tell if something is mispelled BECAUSE you have to spell it out completely.

On my first character I waited until level 20 to get bags because I thought I didn't really need them. On that same character I couldn't figure out how to talk on the channels until around level 25 when I asked my gf who also plays the game.

My very first character on WoW. I thought you could only pick 2 professions. So I picked First Aid and Cooking. I gained close to 200 in each skill level. When a guild officer asked me what are my professions. I proudly said "I am level 200 on both First Aid and cooking. He let a big sigh* and said those are secondary professions. Good thing he told me early cause, I was still a level 31 priest. And was about to give up on them.

Till this day, I crack up everytime a new member gets confused with primary and secondary professions. It's even funnier when, they think we are lieing.

My first toon was a NE priest. I was going to blackfathom depths with a low level group. We made it in and I got whacked by the turtle boss on the island. Of course the only person to die was the only person who can rez. So I am doing the ole run back to my body. When I got to the part where you have to swim under water to get to the cavern, I couldn't figure out how to get a ghost to go under water to go that way. It took about a half an hour for someone who knew what I was talking about to coach me thru it. Had to do the "Who wants to be a millionaire", call a friend lifeline, and ask them over the phone.

Getting 400g from a guy quiting the server then deleting the character thinking it's easy to regain. . .

*shudders at the thought*
