Time to laugh!!!! Tell us some of your best NOOB stories.

[mynamewontfi]

I'm curious what are some of your top noob stories. I started in TBC and rolled a priest. My profs were skinning and enchanting.. why? because those are the two profession trainers in Tirisfal Glades lol one on the road and the other in the Brill Inn. I didn't know what weapon to use I did figure out i need INT thankfully.

I didn't know I had talent points till around level 26. That was a gamechanger. Unfortunately there was no LFG and I rolled a priest I got a whjsper at least once an hour asking me to heal. LOL Didn't know wtf they were talking about no thx I'm good.

I kept seeing people asking for tanks, I legit thought something big was happening like a huge war with the alliance and we needed vehicles of course.

I almost quit the game because I couldn't find my corpse. I was a ghost for almost an entire day and almost smashed m monitor (I was having a few beers though) My friend told me to follow the arrow. (I joined to play with 2 IRL friends)
I guarantee I would have quit. LOL I of course felt like a tool but was so happy to be alive again

I also just about quit the game because I got lost and COULD NOT find the entrance to the deadmines. I ran around for at least an hour. Back then you couldn't just hop on youtube and watch a handheld tutorial about anything. Now theres one for every quest!

The funniest thing I ever saw was when I grouped with a rogue while questing years later on a new toon doing the hillsbrad farmer miner hacket quests. He was there i invited him. I saw in recount that he did virtually zero dmg so I inspected him. He was wearing intellect gear and was just a mess using a grey weapon! His talents weren't in one tree but all spread out.

I took him to UC bought him all the cheap decent gear on the ah (I had gold to burn) I gave him gold to respec and told him what to do basically. All this cause he said he loved the game but had no idea what he was doing. Long story short we became friends he was actually super smart (despite his gear lol) and was a software engineer in Seattle

Fast forward a year later and he was the GM of the #3 raiding guild on server ROFLCOPTER. Later on when priest got nerfed AGAIN I had enough and he bought my account. Hahaha funny how things work sometimes.

My best story? When I asked on one server: ''Guys is anyone playing on warmane?''. As a response i got:

''You have been muted for 23 hours''. Reason ''...''.

When I first started wow it was on a brand new server for the bc expansion. Rolled a lock and was playing for like 2 or 3 weeks and was like lvl 4 or 5.

From the moment I started there were like 50 people dueling in elwynn. I thought I was a pro running around letting my imp and dot kill ppl. Until I dueled this level 8 or so warlock. Mind you I'm like brand new to wow.

During the duel he kept spamming fear. I asked him how he was doing it. I had no idea locks had the fear spell. He told me it was a potion that I had to find.

So I'm running all over elwynn trying to find this fake fear potion. For like 2 weeks I'm doing this. Running around like a ****ing *****.

Wasn't until like lvl 10 or so until my dumbass realized fear was a spell for warlocks lol.

When I first played WoW, it was late TBC and WOTLK was coming soon. I was levelling a human warlock and somehow Duskwood scared the **** out of me. Idk how I died but there were wolves that ran out of nowhere, a "skull" level undead mage standing on rooftops 1shotting me from what seemed like infinite range, and god knows what else.

So here's the noob part:

I "followed" the patrols by walking slowly with them along the roads through Duskwood, because it just felt safer. (Idk if they helped attack wolves if I aggroed them? It's been so long ago.)

It was still an amazing experience to be new and noob in the game. I loved Duskwood more than I hated it/was afraid of it. Some storylines made me think at night. (e.g Mor'Ladim quest)

Only thing I really remember from way back then was wanting to look cool. So anything that was a rare I wanted. I would equip any rare BoE i'd find and buy some even though the stats were negligible. I also bought gray shoulderpads at 16 just for the looks.

[angrylol]

I wanted to get to Eastern Kingdoms and one shaman told me that if he buffs me Water walking i can just run across the Great sea.

A week after I started playing on Molten I went to insta 80 PvP realm back then and started doing arena as a DK wearing https://wow.gamepedia.com/Darkmoon_Card:_Illusion because it had a shield.

[Disktrasa]

First character I ever made was a Resto druid, My Irl friend who was also new to the game rolled protection warrior. We didnt know what quests was so we grinded mobs until level 50 i think.

First time I went VoA I had no idea what "class binded" items was, so my Resto druid got t7 Priest gear, That Priest who just lost his BiS item was so angry.

Back in 2008 I used to be such a noob I was pointing and clicking to do all my skills, I have since learned to use keybinds, now I am much faster with my skills.

[Vilya]

So, I started on vanila, but played seriously since TBC. My mage was quite good so I started raiding with guild, we were doing maul/gruul for items.
My friend was doing some with other guild and I saw that he got really nice item that I liked. Where did You got it, I asked. He told me that Gruul (or maul, i dont remember) drops something thats called TOKEN. If You win this, You can exchange it for gear. I was not similiar with it, played a bit pvp earlier, but I said ok, Ill try get it. After few weeks (or months) I whispered him where to exchange it. He was surprised that it took me so long, so I explained: Yea, there are not that easy to get. I have like 5 of them for legs now, hope its enough? :D

Long story short, I thought its like pvp badges - You gotta have 20-30-40 of them to buy one item, so I collected 5 tokens before I asked for NPC ^^

[nadramiaz]

I've clicked my spells from the spellbook untill the mid 30's on my first character ever.
Didn't know you could drag them on your bars or even what keybinds were.

I got a dungeon group killed because I couldn't find my cc spell on a large pack and then I got schooled by the group.
We all had a good laugh from it

[Ghostpencil]

My first ever char was a warrior on an old TBC server. From the first time finding dropped mana pots, I would drink them... hey, it said it would restore MY mana, whatever that meant.

[hezente]

In tbc i managed to heal up untill black temple with out any kind addon what so ever and without people noticing.
What a drag it was trying to target friendly health bars in 25m raids.

[Ezrilla]

When I started the game, I leveled my first warrior from level 14 to 40 in Loch Modan, because I couldn't find the exit of the zone. Also, I thought the tauren and two orcs wandering through the zone were players, I tried to chat with them, and I was wondering why the hell they were always doing the same trip... I was young... I guess

Also, when I was playing on MoP, on a raiding night, we found out that our fury warrior was using agility weapons because it was written he would hit faster. Some people still call him "the fast warrior".
