Go ahead.... Admit it

I traded ilvl90 items for seals not realising that I was equipped as a CUL and had to grind for 3 weeks to get them back

This thread is great! I didn't realise for quite a while that duty finder was cross server. Thought it was odd that so many people logged straight out of the game after a dungeon, as they were not appearing on my player search

CTRL + U , I learned that one last week. So useful.

I've done some of these.

Took me until AK to know how to focus target, I thought people meant just like target them to see what they were casting lol.

Took me until Haukke Manor HM to realise that Shroud of Saints was handy for regening MP if need be.

Took me until I was level 40 or so to realise that you could teleport. No seriously. I completely forgot about it. I attuned to all the crystals too so I had no excuse to forget lol, I just thought they were for home points. I kept getting the airship from city to city and either choco porting or mounting up myself and running places. It did save me a lot of gil though I must say.

I've also healed with Cleric stance on many times, though that is just by mistake after switching to dps and forgetting to take it off. :P

I didn't realise you could click the Aetheryte in the plaza of the capital cities to access the aethernet until about a month ago. I'd been teleporting to cities, and then legging it to the nearest aethernet shard since launch.

This one seems to be a common theme. I was guilty of it also until a FC said something not too long ago. :( I was SOOOO EXCITED!. lol.

I never new about the boat to Vespar Bay from Limsa Lominsa until well after I reached level 50.

My friend was leveling Blacksmith and was always complaining about how much Bomb Ash he needed. When I got my Miner up to 36 and saw Bomb Ash on my list, I immediately farmed up two stacks and put it all (including the HQ ones) in the FC chest for him. When I told him there were two stacks he asked me how I got it all? Confused, I said I just got Miner to 36 and mined it. He facepalmed and said that he'd been farming ash by killing bombs for hours on end. He had no idea it could be mined.

It also took me all of beta to realize that there was threat bar indicators under the party frames icons. That was an epiphany that made the planets align.

what you can.... damn.....

Took me to level 43 on PLD to use flash correctly. I assumed that it did nothing if used multiple times in a row since it said "blind - immune". Someone was nice enough to explain that it still did enmity generation ugh....

Big crystal in capital cities, yeah. Always ran to the littles up until two weeks ago (been playing since beta).

Only learned how to shoot cannons two weeks ago as well. Never knew to hit the fire symbol AND THEN the "x" button to make it actually fire. I'd decided they only shot for DPS (makes senses, right?) until I saw a healer do it. *shame*

And same with focus target - didn't know until about two months ago it was actually something, different than cycling through targets.
