1: Spawn Titan Prime on Earthsday.

2: Craft (an SH) anything in public without /blockaid on and no one in your party.

3: Toss (insert rare and hard to get item here) because you thought it was something else.

4: Never mistake an Instant Warp Scroll with an Icarus Wing when you're doing the Promyvion Holla Boss. It makes you look very silly when you've used your Mighty Rings, Vision Rings, Foods, Regen Drinks, Utsusemi etc... and got buffed up.. only to warp out leaving your team to fend for themselves (Kudos to the team winning with five people mind you!).

I'll add more when I think of them.

:rofl:

Not quite as deadly, but it's also poor form to use the teletaxi Warp macro that includes /pcmd leave when you're gathering LS members from various locations for a Promy run. Especially if you do it three times in one night. :o

Going to a PT, 30 minutes at least away from jeuno, and not noticing until you got there that you were subbing DRG.







As a BLM.












Yeah, don't ask.

hmm feba, sounds like it was a bad day that time.

Mine was close to when i first started playing the game, mistook a Battering ram for a mad sheep at lvl 14, instant death!!!! (and it was 2am so at least I have some excuse :rolleyes: )

Oh, just remembered. Menu > Party > Disband is not what you click if you want to see a list of your current party members. Especially if you are the party leader, and the puller is on his way back with a mob.

Do NOT prepare for the mini Titan battle only to accidently spawn the level 70 one.

Don't do this with Ramuh either.


Don't go run up to a living doll in Temple of Uggalepth and start casting Raise on the person it just killed (because it aggroed them while they were casting sneak).

Do not for any reason ever decide "I'll just train all these lamia..."

Do not, when suffering from bad lag, assume that because your macro starts with an "S" it is Shadow of Death and not the aoe move Spinning Scythe............... in a room full of crawlers.

Does it count if you threw it at a goblin to save a newbie? Remeber kids, eggs are NOT shuriken.

All I can say is... wow. Not so much at the mistake, but at a team of five people winning. If I meet them - and I think I know at least one - I shall kiss their feet :)

Well Dooom, this is my LS on a run.

My gear is about average for my LS's on these events... and is for CoP ENM:

2x Mil Pick, Emp Pin, Kamp Body + Legs, Nomad's, Power Crossbow, Leaping Boots, Mighty/Vision Ring, Beetle Earring +1 x2, etc...

The team was myself (War/Nin), Amarok (War/Nin), Rokada (Whm/Blm), Wembo (Smn/Whm) and a couple of other guys - pretty much all geared to the same standard. We'd beaten the CoP NM on the way up with 6 of us.. which was pretty cool... so.. they're an awesome team for certain.. I just kinda screwed that one up...

My desk was most banged (by my head) after that...

If only I could convince some of my friends that preperation for promys requires more than just farming anima and grabbing the nearest SMN. That standard of gear is making me drool a little.

Bid on anything of high value early in the morning and without thorough checking...

Kriegsbeil and Kabraken's Axe may look the same, and both begin with "K" but the difference in price was 3.2mil.... ouch :eek: thank god the seller was a nice person ^_^;
