Well, needless to say I was very confused when about ten minutes later I was getting brutally destroyed by ga spells from a supposedly sleeping pot. Nope, come to find out Teek had killed that taru and was coming after me!

We almost managed to kill it but can only do so much when weakened. XD

Moral of the story: don't cure random strangers because it will most likely come back to bite you in the butt.

The fun part is that i was trying to help him, and what i did was mpk him XD
If you are trying to solo Cactrot rapido on rdm you can't give him tp or he will probably 10k needle your ass, and actually he got enought Tp for that by hitting me.

No, but it can max your hp / mp, allow you to max out your attack / damage, and allow you to heal more mp per rest session than not doing so.

It doesn't make you good. It makes you better.

Is it just me or has Rosina helped make this thread into exactly what its named

My Favourite Noob Moment was when i first started years ago was soloing in Dunes and a cocky 75RDM came by showing off his "greatness", pulled all the mobs he could, ran out of mp so he converted then got killed.

There's got to be some tip that flashes on screen whenever you log on:

"If you never blink, urdoinitwrong."

I mentioned this like probably 10 pages back.

not only seen them, but like most of us at 1 time or another made some.

the most common is getting into the field after a job change, trying to fight and whammo, wrong macro set! This was alot worse in the older days with so few macros...

also common, I'm so used to playing jobs with an innate stealth, or else through my subjob that I rarely carry oils/powders anymore. But just recently I started leveling ranger/nin or occasionally /dnc, only to forget I won't have full stealth until 50 with either sub, and while I have oils, powders, mats and lvl 60 alch, they are not in satchel/sack.

Several times i've maw warpped to the wrong zone

go to pull on thief, forgot to pack a range weapon (luckily I always keep in sack)

hoping to skill up parry/shield while leveling war, went /nin outta habit with 2 weaps (and shield still on mule)

leveling nin, specifically skilling up ninjitsu, only brought shehei, shinobi tabi and sanjaku-tengu, all other tools in mog locker

very early days (2nd week playing), didn't know elementals aggro magic, Sneak>>dead party

1st time mining, brought 1 pick, broke on 1st try, wtf? I've used picks RL, they last years

seen innumerable times "what's this (name of mob you've never heard of)?" Aggro>>death to NM
