What are some of your worst mistakes on sro? Whether it be wasting money or sp, or thinking you can trust someone, etc..

Getting skills as a lowbie, then using cursed hearts to remove them.
After a while realizing that those skills were useful, and getting them back..
So much sp and gold wasted

Not buyign stuff in stalls when I see them, later deciding I want to buy it, going back and either not finding the stall anymore, or the item has been sold.

I'm not going to go into detail on how much money I've wasted and how/why, but when I think of how much I could have compared to what I currently have I throw up a little each time.

Bought a SoS lvl 17 pair of garment talismans, later when I checked, it was female.

thinking that pure int ice bow and pure str ice blade were the best builds... god i wasted so much time rerolling I probably shouldve stuck with my str hybrid ice-fire glaive on Xian LOL.

long time ago, when i was on my first character training in bandit stronghold, i found an sos blade.

i sold it to someone in the stronghold 1 min later for 60k ;_;

Selling my elixers, and I had tons of weapon elixers that time I sold for 20k at the NPC thinking it was a lot. Then i go shopping and see a weapon elixer for 150k, and im like, no ones going to buy it for that much, and it gets taken right as soon i was about to leave, AND IM LIKE WTF!

Begging the lv. 30 guy to buy my sos blade lv. 16 for 200k I was lv. 24 .
----
Picked a lv. 48 blade +7 (Thought you only get goldish glow at + then try to +8 to have the glow>fail >NPC.

bought a 4D sos legs and NPC'd it on accident =(

Leveling ice all the way to 30 to find out if did really shitty damage so i deleveled it. Then i leveled my force all the way to LvL 49,to finally realise thats is useless most of the time (i got it when the harmony circle was accually useful, then they patched that >:(). Now i'm deleveling it.

Doin SP farming ... during Gold Ticket...and tatz becoz i never knew tat v need to increase mastery for lvlin faster
My first ticket is wasted LOL

By te way got another ticket and lvlin faster now

i am pure str and when i passed ftom lvl 73 to lvl 74 i used all my stats points on int

I sold my weapon elixirs to the npc >_>

add int the first lvl's so im a hybrid str glaiver

Reapeated 9 times and iam serious

Didn't realize imbue and weapon atk can be used together until lvl 12 or so.

started playing about 4 months ago and repeated 3 times getting characters to 15/19/19 (dont know what on earth i was doing) then because of that i got bored and didnt come back until a few days ago

realizing i can scroll down the skill window at lvl 26...

LOL lvl 29 but that was a long time ago back when there was like 3 servers

Zerking a giant tiger and using bloody fan storm as an atatck ... Yes i'd stand their for the whole zerk, no clue why.

Talking to npc theives...

Flarking up my build every 2 seconds cause i tohught a certain 'skill' was cool.

Nenhunter wrote:realizing i can scroll down the skill window at lvl 26...

i think same sht happen to me.

worst thing was i guess not farming at 16.
or trying to go +7 on my sos 52 blade and it failed..should have left it at +6 oh well no biggie.

Knowing that the person was going to scam me for the shield elixir with the stall tricks and then buying it at 2.5mil

Agreement on the scrolling down. Found out at 21-22 then relized I wanted the circle.

Making my first character a 1:1 build with sword, spear, bow, ice, lighting, fire, and healing builds and playing on it for 4-5 months, getting to 26 then got bored.
Remade Character to hybrid-int spear and went from 1-26 in 2-3 months.

R.I.P Souls of Steel

i was doing some alchemy after completing a super long quest, noticed 1 stupid mob-dropped sword wouldn't go thru, so i NPCed it for 1 gold, then i go to the hunter guild master and he tells me to keep looking for the stolen sword

that first one took me 2 days to find.

on my first char, i didnt know about/use any stat points till about lvl 24

haha 'trusting someone' yeah, you could say that.

ive made a lotta mistakes, all small, some big (lost 20mil recently xD)

the only one that bugs me though...

wasting my time doing what i didn't want to, to make other people happy

u cna't sell iem quest so don't worry it wasn't the stolen sword

Biggest mistake was getting addicted to alchemy. Ever since my first elixer ive been hooked and ive probably spent most of my money just on alchemy stuff.

oh man, now that i remember , a guy that i was trading with asked me if i wanted a sword and i said yeh sure, he showed me a som lvl 16 sword for 250k... i was so happy, but, i knew it was better than sos but i didnt know i should sell it for a lot more, so i sold it for 1.5 mil >.<, and whats so funny is that few secs after i sell it a guy asks me if i still have it and that wanted to buy it for 7.5 mil >.<

Ugh, now I'm tellign msyelf that from now on whenever I see an item that I'll need in the future (if the price is affordable of course) I'm buying it.
I'm gonna level soon, and for the past years I've seen the equipment at that level but never bought it, now I've been looking tonight and can't find any

One day while i was feeling good, i saw this noob and wanted to give him something coz his wep sukd, then i accidently gave him my main wep.... tht i
bought for quite alot, then he started spamming me
