Just lost all my money for no reason... =(
My jewelcrafting is 201. I see someone selling a gem for 2.7k today, and I see according to the wiki that I can make an earring worth 3-3.5k out of it, so I figured I could make a little money off of it.
So I buy the gem and go to make the earring (140 trivial) and of course it fails to combine. After sitting around for a few days in EC selling lower level jewelry for 30-60pp per transaction, I just lost all that work for no reason whatsoever. I was TRYING to save up for Jboots but that doesn't look like it's happening any longer. Now I don't even have the urge to log back onto the server after it erased so many hours of work from me. Bummer. My fault for trying to be greedy I guess, but man does that hurt... | ||

JC is really not a great way to make money unless you have a large stock of diamond, black sapphires, or blue diamonds. If you are low level, you should keep leveling up, and eventually you'll end up in groups that have items drop that are actually worth money.

Haha I know man, if this was 2001 I would probably be throwing something expensive across the room and then immediately regretting it.
Still puts a huge damper on the fun I was having this past week when I was just starting to get back into P1999. Oh well, I don't think I'm gonna be back for another long while now. Hours are too precious all these years later to have them go up in flames in the matter of a click. EQ has always been a cruel temptress. This is why i love/hate it =) | ||

I had the first crystal dagger on my L2 server and it was sweet. Took me and 4 other people a month of farming to craft it. Problem with enchanting stuff in L2 was stuff could blow up after you go past +3. My dagger blew up on +4 after I got jealous of an enemy rogue's +5 one. Didn't quit but it was sure hard to figuratively look the people who helped me craft it in the eye for a long time.

What I understand of it, it's not the ideal way to go for making a quick "little money" with JC'ing here. Maybe long term I'd expect, probably recoup training losses eventually anyway (what is it 20k to train out?). But you lost the greed roll this time, and if it were a need roll you probably wouldn't be as disappointed but stick it out to try again. The solution for jboots however... roll a class with the golden buff? The price you pay for not. Just enjoy the ride with whatever you roll. If it's for any other reason, yeah you'll ragequit eventually. Reason = gambled, lost.
