So, what's your most expensive failure? A Shadow Lair with a 400e revive price before you quit?
I just got mine. Over 30k crowns and 1400 energy. Bought a Justifier Jacket recipe and crafted it... before realizing I was supposed to make the Shadowsun Slicker. And then bought a Deadshot Mantle recipe by accident because sure why not heap insult on the injury.
I wasn't paying attention and ended up crafting a 2nd Deashot Chapeau instead of a Shadowsun Stetson.
Never had big failures in this game, as price tag for rev goes above 40 ce, I quit the mission. But a guy from my friends list recently wasted over 1,3k ce for RT mission.
"I wasn't paying attention and ended up crafting a 2nd Deashot Chapeau instead of a Shadowsun Stetson."
Did it happen just today? I saw someone saying he made that same mistake, it must have been you!
well was an idiot and i was gonna buy shadowsun stetsun recipe instead of noticing it was a nameless hat recipe cuz i was inspecting it.......and crafted nameless, so i made the set ):<
Edit: it was About 40 k cr recipe,i think......
was going to sell 1000ce for 7800each but i put the numbers in the wrong place. so i bought 1000ce for 7800crowns each :_ took quite a while to sell ALL that ._.
should change the market GUI. really confusing at times
I spent 60K crown just an hour ago punching a Gran Faust and ended up with beast med.
I need more crowns so I can waste more.
I spent over 40k CE trying to finish rabid snarbolax solo. Still haven't beat that guy... >.<
Loosing 20k on recipes I already knew & getting a refund of 10crs from npcs.
@ above post
HOLY JESUS
So you spent 60K to punch your GF so it ended up as a medium beast?
SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE.
Got Gran Faust
Got bored of it
Unbound it
Couldn't sell it
Sold to vendor
Facedesk
wanted to win twilight aura...
put gigantic bid early....2.1m!!!
realized it was placed on twinkle, thanks to lag
won twinkle aura for 2.1m!! (when it was commonly going for 400k on aH :(
thankfully they refunded me via support ticket as a 1 time make it right.
hmmmm, i think it was when i made a deconstructor on my alt, but the blast bomb was bound to my alt, so i had to remake it with the unbound blast bomb, this cost me like.....35k
I bought a Prismatic Halo for 4.4 Million
I bought a Prismatic Halo for 4.4 Million
A brandish and a fire brandish upgrade, blaster that i sold off, a pepperbox and a spur that i also sold off.
Im a complete dumb.
I killed vana with a fang, to ELEVATOR MUSIC. Failed horribly, I might add...
Nah, it happened a fairly long time ago, I think November? I haven't talked about recently because there's never any reason to bring it up, so you definitely did not hear that from me.
It was probably that one time when I just had became *4 and I tried to solo RJ...I spent 2k ce. Or maybe that time I spent 4k ce to unbind a Leviathan Blade and sold it for 100k crowns. I was a total failure back then. I can now confidentially solo RJ without reviving :D.....I still want my money back T^T
I was trying to build an optimal loadout for FSC, and I thought the Cold Iron Vanquisher would be great with the Undead bonus. I searched the forums, and bought a CTR Medium Calibur for around 1.5k CE. While upgrading the sword I forgot that the Calibur line branched at the 4-star level, and crafted it into an Ascended Calibur by mistake.
So back to the forums I went, and bought another CTR Medium Calibur for around 1.5k CE. This time I did it right, and finally had a Cold Iron Vanquisher. After trying it out, I realized that the CIV is terrible, so both swords sit in my inventory, never used.
Total cost: ~5k CE, plus the time wasted heating them up.
And well, worst and most expensive failure I had was at the FSC mission, along with a friend. It went pretty well untill we reached the Throne room, where we did so horribly we spended almost 500CE together on revivals. And we still didn't managed to beat the bloody bastard. :l
Still, the most expensive, but sucessful run, was at the snarby shadow lair, with the same guy, or at least for him. He spended like 1500CE on revivals, plus a shadow key bought with his own CE, just to get a snarbolax set. I eventually had to give him my nightmare mane mat just to compensate some of the energy he used, it's the least i could do... He thanked me so much he even gifted me the Crimson Hammer mission expansion! I honestly couldn't believe on that.
I start converting my crowns to CE and promos promptly pops up.
I've been throwing myself against the mission The Silent Legion for a few weeks now, and for the life of me it's pretty much like bashing my head against a concrete wall. Seriously...screw Greavers, and SCREW Devilites, especially when they're in a Devilish Drudgery map. Anyways, I finally said to myself that I'd keep pressing on if I could get through the second level only reviving twice. I finally did, and made it to the final level, which admittedly has a really cool setup. Get to the last fight, and of course I die again, but by this time I'm pretty much "screw it," and use 40 to revive. I then die AGAIN, rage-buy 100 CE, and use the 80. And then...dead again. 150 energy burned in revives in a single run, and I can't beat the damn thing. Urrrrrgh.
@ Pdtopgun
If you want help with that Silent Legion mission, send me a friend request and we can try it when we're both online.
On my first day on SK (June 2011), I got a 3* heart pendant from a Love Puppy. Then, someone told me I had to buy the starter pack to unlock the trinket slots so I sold the pendant to the NPC for some tiny crowns.
Got over 10000 energy from a friend... sold a lot of it to buy a skolver cap. I was ready to upgrade it when i realized, I bought a skolver COAT instead. I logged off, screamed at the top of my lungs, and logged back on.
I paid a good 40K on recipes for blast bombs 2 weeks before missions came out.
Compared to the millions of crowns that you guys are wasting, it doesn't seem so bad...
Went to FSC, spent 1212 energy to rev party, didn't make it to vanaduke.
Derp.
I don't have any REALLY expensive failures. Unless you count the countless 20,000 crown donations to Punch, trying to roll an ASI. :-/
Failures....so...expensive...*cringes*
Mine doesn't go beyond buying a learned recipe from the HoH. But the stuff on this thread *shudder*
Oh well, lesson(s) learned =3
Today: Had roughly 40k crowns
I saw a possible cheap costume that'd look completely awesome (and I've never seen anyone else with it which is a plus)
Costume (Don't steal ;_;): Fused Demo Helm with Skelly Suit
So, I bought the Demo Helm, then bought the Fused Demo Suit recipe (misclick of course). I started crafting the suit by accident, using my energy and most of my crowns. It turns out that misclick made me buy 2 recipes, so a kind knight traded me a fused demo helm for a plethora of meh accessories and 2 lockboxes. I now have 3k crowns, my costume (no accessories) yet, and an extra fused demo suit recipe. Complicated story, I could've told it a bit wrong, but whatever. I ended up with the right stuff in the end... even if much of my money is now gone. (I should be at about 15k-25k if I didn't do the mistake)
Hmm... I dont have enough monsy to really burn through and screew up with so...
But here's some math you can figure out: I revive with CE unneccisarily when i feel like it. That's about 10CE extra i spend per run. Avg. 1 run everyother day (i dont play as often nowadays) that is...?
Then convert that to $.
Went to HoH to buy the Nitronome and Valiance line recipes. Noticed I had already learned said recipes from the ranked missions...
-80k. Not so bad compared to the devastation I'm seeing elsewhere on this thread.
When I was ridiculously new, I bought a brandish and a super stun gun. From a vendor. Nothing in comparison to what you guys've done, though.
Accidentally opening UFSC when I intended to do UGW with only one teammate, which locked the party. We didn't wanna waste the key so we went anyway. We got our butts kicked so hard. Ended up spending up to 160 CE revives each before quitting and trying again at getting UGW.
Thank god this wasn't me.
Fist Vanaduke attempt:
Me, with ash tail set, wise owlite, blazebrand, and hail driver.
Member 1, with Vog set, blitz needle, shivermist, grey owlite, DA
Member 2, with Magic set, shadowtwch alchemer, firotech alchemer, owlet shield
Member 4, with dusker set, horned owlite, Blizzbrand, and prismatic alchemer mk II
I kept dying, and same with the Vog guy. Member 4 kept hitting Revive all, and we kept going until our revives were at 1k CE each. Then we got to stage 2 of the fight. We died again quite a few more times, but member 4 kept reviving all when we had 1k CE revives. Eventually Member 4 ran out of CE, and we couldn't go on.
Sad part is, we never made it past stage two of the fight (after first mask phase). 20,000 of member 4's CE gone...and we didn't even win. Pretty pathetic

I was doing RT with two other people, then spent about 250ce on revives and group revives
had to do a 4000cr transaction to buy 100ce to revive the party, then all died after RT were dead. someone had to use ce to revive, then rev the rest of us and got 700cr out at the end.
lol
I once soloed T2 OCH with Elemental set + Nightblade + some gun I can't remember, this was a VERY long time ago. But I spent...
5
10
20
40
80
160
320 +
-----
675 on Rev's
Sad thing is is that all these rev's were just for Seerus boss ;_;
Considering I was only T2 at the time 675 was a lot of energy for me to spend. I could have crafted 2 pieces of 4* gear.
My most expensive and dreadful fail, was when I spent 4000 CE on revives when I was doing OCH T3, we ended up failing, I never recovered from that loss. Of course It was stupid of me to continue spending after 400 but I really wanted the hammer.
Spending 3500CE on a shield I already own from supply depot thinking it would be unbound.
Hopefully support will reply, but no luck yet :'(
Accidentally spent 320CE reviving a random guy instead of spending 10CE on my friend and getting kicked out before the Jelly King level.
This happened just today.Since I am still a Knight Elite,it has hit me bad-Sighs-
*blush* wasted 1000CE on one of the 9-1 missions (solo, no poison def, griever trouble) xD
