I didnt change my first weapon till lvl 26 when i found a lvl 5 green sword


I thought if i delete a profesion and get it back i would still have all my skill points


My first instance was SFK and i did it at lvl 32


the first nlue item i got was [Grim Reaper] at lvl 40

I thought that 10slot bags were the biggest till i got a 12 slot one

one time when i made my first troll warrior i lagged ( my comp sucked that time) and went to the hidden path shamman place and jumped off to see what would happen... lol

i ended up in ratchet... and tried to get back only to be killed by a prowler....

i destroyred my hearth cuz i thought it was gay... lol

First time i ever played i made an orc warlock, I jumped off the cliff not knowing what i was doing and proceded in the direction of ratchet. On my way i came across a zebra thinking, "oh a stupid animal! I can definately take this guy!" After that little incident I stopped playing for a week.

I didn't know that you could get a new hearthstone from any inn, so when i accidentally destroyed mine on a lvl 13 rogue, i started a new character cause I didn't want to not have a hearthstone :P

Way back when I started out, I finally managed to get my lvl 8 NE rogue out of the starting area after about a week of play. I was really confused, I had no idea the mobs didn't get any bigger the higher level I was.

well the biggest noob thing ive done and im sure people have done it is thought need was less than greed.. i mean i can see greed as a gimme that and need as can i please have that.. so i would need everything and people would get pissed.

well, i'm still pretty much a huge n00bzor. my bf got me into the game, he loves making fun of me cuase i still scream when a mob suddenly attacks me. >_<

but my newbiest moment? probably on my first chara, a night elf... and i thought if i got aggro off more than one mob i would surely die, no matter what lvl. oh, and i destroyed my hearthstone, and deleted the chara, thinking i couldnt get a new one. till i read this i thought i was the only moron who did that so its good to know i'm not alone. XD

I was a newb orc warrior so the place where I learned my trade skills was Razor Hill. I got mining and bs over at the furnace and I was like "I probably should have gotten first aid so that I can heal myself, but no I can't since it's a primary trade skill." So I didn't realize first aid was secondary until around lvl 25. I grinded on those lvl 18 quilboars over in the Barrens for linen for a long time. I'm at like 285 first aid now.

When I first started pvping in BGs I would use the arrow keys to move and press 1,2,3, etc to use skills. So I'm a newb fighting these lvl 19 twinked rogues with crusader on both weapons and I'm trying to click on them, move with the arrow keys, and press the numbers for skills. So half the time I'm not even moving, I'm spinning around trying to hit them and click and push numbers. I have no idea where I am or what the h3ll I'm doing and I have no kills. I got pwned so many times... Yeah but now I'm like in first for my lvl range BGs (around the top 3 usually).

Another thing I did as a newb was adventure. I don't mean adventure the barrens and slaying mighty plainstriders, I meant going into the Stonetalon Mts. at lvl 14, and continuing onto Desolace. I did this to find more flight paths (I have no idea why I wanted the Stonetalon fp). So i run right past Sun Rock Retreat thinking "It doesn't sound like it has a fp there, it sounds like some dumb quest place" and run right past it and up and into Desolace. I had only died around 3 or 4 times in the Mts. so I'm thinking that I can still find the Desolace fp in about 15 minutes. I run into into the burned trees area and die another 3 times or so. And so my armor by now is completely broken and I get into Desolace and see a lizard and some vultures and they're all ?? to me. I think I should be able to sneak past them and so I give it a shot. This d4mn lizard does some kind of crazy charge on me and 1 hits me. I'm yell "WTF NOOB, LEMME GET THE FU***** FP TO THIS UGLY PLACE" once I come back to life and try to run and the vultures get me and I die over and over. Long story short, I hearthed the h3ll outta there with no FPs and a broken pride. I go back there at lvl 40 and see that those lizards were like lvl 32. I always wondered how they 1 hitted me...(sorry for the long posts)

Reviving a dead thread, why not? It's a fun one.

I soloed as a priest up to about level 17, and then joined a party going into WC that needed a healer and was desperate enough to take me--"Just stay back, don't attack anything, heal us only," which I was more than happy to oblige. Going solo all the time I never had the experince of the group loot, and noticed that all coin was shared equally, the finder kept the normal stuff, and the good stuff was rolled upon. I did NOT know that items found in chests were not so shared, so as the group recouped from a battle I went to a chest to open it for them.

Oopsie.

They politely informed me of my mistake...and I refused to open a single chest the rest of the instance so as not to get booted from the party...17 Pr solo in WC does not have a high survivability rate...

Lol we all make newb mistakes but some of the ones I've read here just made me laugh my *** off!!
Getting to level 20 without learning a single skill??
Not going to an AH before 55??
And deleting 4 level 12 Shamans just because you encountered a level 17 mob (that MUST be a lie)!! ROFL

I reckon I made a few dumb ones too.. I remember it took me a while to figure out how to speak in General chat.. I would be like /s Can you guys hear me? Hellooo?

LOL

Oh yeah and I think with my first hunter, I didn't realise you could train your pet new and better skills, so I was always wondering why my pet couldn't keep a shred of aggro on him!

Excellent thread, keep em comin :)

Just curious if your husband started a horde char too.

Lets see...

*First character was a Warrior as I thought when I got higher in lvl I could specialize into other classes ..i.e Mage, Rogue, etc.

*I could not for the life of me figure out how to change the angle of the camera as it was looking directly down on me and I could not see anything 2 yards infront of me.

*Did not figure out out how to swim under water till well in my 20s.

*Did not figure out how to type in general chat to well in my 20s.

*Did not take any stats into account, would buy armor from AH that were increases in armor value only.

*Got excited when a guildy said he could give my weapon a glow, so I mailed my lvl 16 weapon to him and he disenchanted it thinking it was part of the mats for the enchant.

*Did not figure out how to train my pet till well in my 20s. Was wondering why it could not keep aggro.

I'm sure there is more, I'm just good at blocking out painful memories.
