WoW confessions: Yes, I am a dummy
Here’s a fun mini-post.
Time to fess up: What have you learnt – and then slapped yourself on the forehead because it was so dopey that you didn’t already know?
Here’s mine – today I learned that if you are converting 100 badges of Triumph down to Heroism, you don’t have to shift click and then click all the way through to 100 Conquest.. then click all the way through to 100 Valor, then alllllllllll the way through to 100 Heroism (zzzzzz).. you can just click in the little space for the number, and then type in the number you want to convert.
*scrunches face up*
Now it’s your turn to confess, so I don’t feel so bad!

My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.

I suddenly thought to myself (while clicking through hundreds of badges, and repeating at each vendor..) “hey, I wonder if you can just click in the number field and write your own amount in there?
oh.
you can.

Yeah, I did that too!
My favorite one was, before when you respecced you had to retrain all your skills…I remember doing a H Underbog with untrained shadow priest skills.

The first time I specced out of frost and into fire after leveling to 80 in wrath so I could run Naxx:
“I don’t get what the big deal about living bomb is. The math says it should be great, but it’s doing terrible damage.”
… “Rank 1.”
“Crap.”

The night I made 80 on my Deathknight, joking about how a couple other people ran to Naxx without training their 80 skills…
Then I made 80 and not 3 minutes later was being invited to heroics…. And didn’t have a chance to get MY 80 training!

I hit the button to unlearn my skills after hitting 80 and logged off the game. The next time I logged on to the game, I jumped into a regular instance (had an old quest) where everyone else was level 74. My dps was a whopping 900. Was trying everything to get my dps to go up during the instance. It wasn’t till the end that one of the other people asked what my spec was and I went to respond that I remembered that I had cleared my spec…
/big facepalm and didn’t really want to that hunter into another instance for a whle.

Until a week ago, I was using Moonfire rank 7 (out of 14) for my offspec. Thank god I got Rankwatch (for another character!)
As for the emblems – seriously? I tried to do that and I swear the little box wasn’t editable!

Well then you’ll be even happier to know you don’t even have to click the box before typing in the number. Just shift-click and type. No clicking necessary
note: it will only allow you to type in a stack at a time

Hehe, Only 2 weeks ago I also dicovered trading triumph down to heroism badges does not have to take ages. Maybe its a dizzy druid thing
about 1 year ago
Heh.
It was not all that long ago that I realized you could shift-click and have the number box pop up, instead of clicking, clicking ok, clicking, clicking ok, clicking, clicking ok….

Sigh, well I wasted a few hours of my life at the emblem vendor….

After years and years of herbing with flight form, I learned a couple months ago that “x” will allow you to fly straight down so you land and get rid of that “You are flying” message without contortionist mousing.

I have to admit, I was the same way. I’d go buy a heirloom item or a gem, and it’d be so slow…. urgh.
Hmmm. Sigs needed for a new guild, [Dummy Druids United].
Well, for the longest time, I didn’t realize that when if you right-clicked on junk while on the buy tab of a vendor, that would let you vendor off as much as you wanted. I’d vendor like 12 things, wait till the refund cooldown went away, then vendor again. :o)

Account bound items can be mailed directly to characters on the opposite faction. I wonder if that’s been possible this whole time.

Having leveled 1-70 as feral and 70-80 as resto I yesterday felt puzzled about that my Eclipse seemed to come in different colors. It never dawned on me that there are two versions -.- I nowadays use balance to do som dailies, my dps is up quite a bit now I might add.

The thing to be careful with mass badge conversion is that if you make a mistake, the Game Master *cannot* undo it. Back when it mattered I mistakenly converted 50 triumph badges down to the next level, only to be told that this action was undoable. I was not amused.

The day I was running something in Balance instead of Resto, went to use my battle rez… “No reagents? I have the glyph!… oh.”
Why I didn’t have the glyph on my off spec I don’t know, but I have cobwebs in my Balance gear, I use it that often, so…

Back in vanilla WoW you had to tame new pets in order to get a higher rank of the pet skill. For the longest time I was running around with Claw (Rank 1) and wondering how the heck other hunters didn’t pull off their pets so fast. I had no idea.
Then I found Petopia and my dps skyrocketed.

I didn’t know that about emblem trading either until a few weeks ago. Also found out there is an emblem trader in the Dalaran sewers that I didn’t know about.
I think my worst dummy moment was healing Naxx with level 70 rank spells for at least a month after Wrath came out. I never updated my Clique bindings.

Until my first non-mage, a priest, was level 30 or so, I didn’t know you could buy drinks from innkeepers and other vendors. So I was so happy any time some ice cold milk would drop.
I seem to remember buying a small stack or two from the AH, also.

A little known fact….
Go down to the sewers and theres a little goblin guy that would give you Hero emblems straight from triumps…..no conquest to valor switches at all!
