So guys, i wanna have some fun and laugh a little - tell me your favorite Noob story(es)....it can be yours, or someone u know....
Lets remember what we have been when we started
I can't really remeber my story that could be so funny...exept that the whole time i was farming(on bandits-like 3 months) i didn't know what a unique is...and i was thinking it's a playes....i thought TG, Uruchi and the others are the strongest players and everyone wanted to kill them....i was like "OMG if i am so strong one day, will everyone going to kill me?"
Another story...a girl from my guild sold every weapon she has until lvl 20 when it was broken, because she didn't know there is a rapair option

And she was always buying a new weapon +3 or higher, with blues and everything else. And she was always asking why everyone wants to buy Sox? Where's the point, when you will sell it to the NPC when it's so expensive....that's how we found out she didn't know about the repair
Now it's your turn

Tell me your funny noob stories

My friend found a lvl 8 sun blade when he was a noob and new it was worth alot because he had heard about it somewhere so he decided not to npc it, but to stall it for 20k.

when i finally heard about the masteries i upped them all, i tought im going to be the strongest so i need to be able to work with all weapons. You could have seen me running around switching from bow to glaivie to sword, using ice fire and lightning all together..
I was so weak because offcourse i didnt new a thing about farming or something

I was so sad when i heard friends and forum guys saying 'YOU TOTALLY SCREWED YOUR CHAR, START A NEW ONE'

The most noobish one of all.
It took me a LONG time to figure out I could scroll down in the skill window
And I also stalled some low lvl sos for 5k when I first started.

I thought NPC Thiefs were players and i was always so angry on them when they killed me (i was around lvl 10 back then) and said that they were mean to kill lowlvls

Therefore also thought thiefs could kill anybody (just like the NPCthiefs)

The NPC thieves were my nightmare back then

I was always hiding and running away from the road so the couldn't kill me.... And i remeber when i was like lvl 32 some guy was making trade, passing through chakis, and i killed one NPC thief...and i was like "Die you meen killer of low level players".....i didn't make any difference between NPC and real thieves back then

Wow PRO teach me
Naah it's not funny without those noob stories, i love them
Like my friends, who grinded to lvl 64 without auto potions and playing only with the mouse ( loading potions, click skill, feed wolf and horse) i couldn't even believe it....
And after that they found what the "T" does
Also...they found alhemy

My friend didn't know you could buy potions in bundles of 50 so he would buy them all individually and stack them up until level 60.
I didn't know that you could scroll down in the skill window, either.

My very first char on SRO I lvled it to around 15 and had no idea how to add str or int points. I was hitting low damage and dying easily while everyone else grinding with me is much stronger. So I'm like wth then I found out about this.

I was so confised with the skills...like a person that have never played any games before...
So my BF told me "You just press 1 and 2" (imbue and the first bow skill possible)....and after like 2 days he told me i had a new skill and put it on 3.... i was like "OMG how am i supposed to press 1-2-3 at the same time? Or i have to press them one by one? Or i have to press 2-3-1" i was sooo confused

When i just started the game i didnt know about skills. so i just trained using normal hits till like 13 (i was a formal runescape player, so u can guess why

). i told my friend to play sro too, because the normal hits looked awesome (i was using a glaive

). i also didnt know about potions, so i just sat down whenever my hp went down

. i also remember me grinding at weasels (i was lvl 9) using normal attacks trying to get to lvl 10 so i could ride the lvl 10 horse

.
and about the giants

. my friend used to lvl faster than me (he was killing tigers at lvl 19) and he told me about tiger giants

. i was like no way, and i didnt see one till i made another char

When i started, My friends didn't play silkroad so i had no idea about sp farming and that you needed to much. So i basically got like 3-4 accounts to like 21 and found out that exp was to low and would take me forever on a 5 gap
