5 years later every newb to the forums will be telling their embarrassing story not realizing the giveaway never will happen. I like it!

Embarrassing stories are fun, especially when you share them with others.


Back in the heyday days of Velious, I was having some trouble with my backstab damage. I had just spent every last coin of my savings on a Lath Drinor, which was a huge upgrade from what I had been using, but something was wrong with it... No matter what I did, my backstabs always hit for the minimum damage. I could not figure out what was causing it. Messing with my stats, buffs, dying and getting rezzed, nothing fixed my backstab damage. I even petitioned and the GMs to ask if it Backstab bugged or if something was wrong with my character, because I thought they would have some magical answer to fix my problem; no such luck. It was maddening.

Then, one day, someone in my Velketor's Labyrinth upper dogs group started laughing at me. "Nice dagger" he scoffed. I know, right? I opened up my inventory to admire my Lath Dfuck

And, just like that, I found out why my backstabs were hitting for minimum damage: some time in the past few weeks, I had mixed up my Lath Drinor with a Fine Steel Dagger and sold it to a vendor.
