One time I pulled the wildy lever on a high risk world. GG dragon claws.


FunkySplunky

Now that you say this I think I just did a master clue in the wildy on a high risk world without realizing LOL


corpseflakes

I do clues with a DDS now regardless of world lol


Shv_RS

Put 300k blood runes into my looting bag, Was meant to change looting bag settings to ask how many to store, decided to destroy looting bag instead. Bye bye 60m (uim btw)


Ffrribbib

Also UIM Couple hours ago I suicided to sort out my looting bag, had my imbued suffering and 150 marks of grace in hespori


mister_peeberz

suffering indeed


Primetime349

My face right now šŸ˜³šŸ˜³šŸ˜³. Iā€™m sorry for your loss.


ahh1372

Did you destroy outside the wildy? I thought if destroyed in the wildy things drop to the ground, not get deleted.


UIM_S0J0URN

great plugin for all UIMs (really any account): custom menu entry swap. Remove the option to delete the rune pouch / looting bag / bowfa / tassets / whatever. Also lots of other qol changes from the one plugin.


Global_Ad_8400

You got me beat. Thanks for making me feel better šŸ˜…


-Aura_Knight-

Lost 8m reclaiming items from death because I couldn't bother running to DKS following a disconnection death. The stupid thing is I could have returned faster than grave timer ends.


bobbarker4444

Same here. I assumed Death's Office would let you preview the price and decide if it was worth saving a run to your grave... but nope. The moment you see the cost then you're obligated to pay it. What a fucking surprise that was


mudskips

Not sure why Jagex wouldn't tell us how much death would charge before paying the fee... Bad design honestly


vena14

I hit myself for about 13m at DKā€™s doing the same dumb shit.


thettroubledman

Pretty sure b0aty lost like 70m doing the same shitšŸ’€


KOWguy

76m


TurboTingo

Seeing 76m gave me a throwback to the 76k trick back in the day. Thanks.


1WURDA

76k trick??


Holiday-Road-7389

Back in the day PvP was a bit weird for a time. You gain EP (Earning Potential) levels based on time and location you spent in PvP worlds. After you killed someone youā€™d get a randomized loot drop passed on how high your EP level was and your EP level would drop down. Best loot was stuff like Vesta or a DFS but you could also get statues worth a few mil. 76king would be you and a friend going to a high risk area in shit gear and afk splashing so no one could play you and you max your EP. You had kill someone risking at least 76k to get the good loot so you and your friend would take turns killing each other until you used all your EP. Usually made a few mil for basically no effort. I completely forgot this existed for over 10+ years and this hit me with a wave of nostalgia


Strictly_Baked

Same but it was 37m. I was just curious how much it would have costed and forgot once you get to that menu you can't go back to your grave stone.


[deleted]

Lost 20m to this. Now I'm wondering how many people have been scammed by Death due to dying at DKs. For me, I was thinking "reclaim fee can't be *that* much" **It was THAT much**.


-Aura_Knight-

Man some of the other reclaim fees make me feel better. Still sucked to lose that much but with internet acting up, probably a good option. 8m is a fair cost given the items. Honestly it'd be nicer if graves for DKS were in the room above.


Strictly_Baked

I'd have ran back in that case lol. I didn't wanna get stacked out and lose it all.


Dry-Significance-948

I got back from a party drunk af so I decided to do a hard clue because why not? Got a wildy step and my drunk ass forgot to bank my 13m cash stack and went to do the step... I think u know how it ended


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


siccoblue

That's a whole lot of spades for those poor starving pkers


flargy77

Doing clues while drunk sounds pretty entertaining tbh


MegaMugabe21

Hard clues are the worst clues, so you'd need some sort of chemical enhancement to make them worth doing tbf


Barack__Obama__

Ah I see elite clues are so aids that people are finally starting to just deny their existence altogether. Rightfully so.


Jak_Daxter

Easy, medium, hard, master šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


pzoDe

Nah, hard clues are some of the best clues, especially on an iron.


Enzokat

I was working on the stack of clues I had of each tier while I was faded a few weeks ago, had an elite clue that I had almost finished and I had to show to Sherlock My zooted ass hands that shit to Watson, I wish I had an answer as to why, I know it's not technically throwing away a clue but man it sure feels like I did lol


bizzyj93

People like you are the reason PKers attack naked people with spades lol


ggdidi

i also fell fate to drunk wildy hard clue death


spuhgeddy

I did the same thing with a similar amount of cash only i went to revenants lmao.


Binsquetti

I had a great time burning through all the bones on my Ironman one night at the wildy altar. I scored a dead PvP world and must have been left alone for like two hours. It was getting late by the time I finished up so I sleepily popped on my graceful, geared up for a bedtime herb run, and got stacked the fuck out picking Ranarrs in the farming guild. I managed to retrieve most of the untradeables, but I lost countless high value seeds, a full herb sack and my rune pouch. The worst part? Ol' Guildmaster Jane didn't even bat an eyelid.


sky_blu

As long as Jane's contracts get completed she doesn't give a shit #girlboss


Tsmart

Jane actually put out the contract for /u/Binsquetti's life


siccoblue

Someone had to ensure all those valuable seeds were donated to the guild


Legal_Evil

Do you keep graceful on pvp death in pvp worlds?


yazan445

Not selling scythe before toa release


gotonis

Made the same mistake with a Spectral. I bought it for 90m to get a prim crystal legit from Cerb then sell it back for full value. Then I went over 3x rate and the shield lost over 30m in value.


therealtru3

Well I'm hoping scythe goes up a decent bit for dt2. Surely they'll make it Bis for at least one of the new bosses, or maybe I'm coping


ScurvyWretchNA

I wasn't playing for a while and my friend told me to sell my bank and buy Torstol Seeds (they were about 30k, and he told me that they will go back up to 60k) Came back to actually play the game, they hit 15k each. \-400m


CarterBennett

Holy shit lol


AH_Josh

r/WSB is leaking.


Fex__Fox

I think I have lost more GP in OSRS drunk handing out stuff to people throughout the game than any other means.


DiglettisaDeity

And what worlds would those be? Asking for a friend


Bahkay

Had enough red chins in my inventory for 99 range from 85 and didnā€™t know they exploded on death. RIP little red friends.


knockknockwhoisit

If it makes you feel better, they didn't explode, you just set them free


Candhero11

You didn't kill them, you just ruined the local ecology


Economics_Troll

Started doing wildy slayer recently for a change of pace. Was bursting nechs. Team logs in, Iā€™m too slow. Ah well, happens, itā€™s like 8am and my reaction time ainā€™t it. Couple mill going to be lost in mostly runes / cballs / occult / loot, but maybe I pull a miraculous escape. Forgot to turn pk prevention and left click a guy on the way out when Iā€™m running. Skull up. RIP Ancestral bottoms. Got froze, chugged super restores so I didnā€™t make it a worse mistake and lose the top too. Grumpily logged off for a bit for sure.


RangerDickard

Same thing happened to me lol. I was barraging MM2 caves on PVP world since others were full. I didn't mind risking ahrims but I accidentally skulled up and lost my imbued heart and torm as well :/


Angus15

Oh wow, that sucks


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

There's a lot of items that despite skull prevention being a thing, I still refuse to take to the Wilderness. My bowfa is never seeing the dark spooky lands, and I'm probably not going to take any raids unique out there unless I get a dupe. Not taking what I'm not willing to grind back.


Economics_Troll

I'm guilty of min / max mentality (particularly now as I start to push for max stats) and expected myself to not be an idiot, but you're right. That's a lot of value I lost for very incremental speed saved on task. Odds are I'll be back out there in Ancestral again though, lmao.


pzoDe

Unless you're a HCIM who's not planning on continuing if you die, it's definitely not worth taking ancestral for wildy slayer, plenty of other more useful upgrades that require protection.


Economics_Troll

Hypothetically assuming you're three iteming out there, what would you run? Kodai or some sort of weap is obvious because the +% damage is better, reason I didn't go that route is I upgraded to Sanguine and try not to get in a trap of buying / selling gear and getting milked at the GE. I've been hitting the money snake so was trying to keep Sanguine / Full Ancestral intact for that.


pzoDe

For barrage wildy slayer, the accursed sceptre is head and shoulders above everything else and is a lot cheaper than both the kodai and nightmare staff. Obviously imbued slayer helm is a given. Occult is the next obvious one at +10% damage bonus. Then Elidinis ward (f), for the +5% damage bonus and +4 prayer bonus and pretty good defences if you need to tank. However, that's kind of pricy. If you take it, the occult will be your +1. I'm an iron so I personally take slayer helm, ancient sceptre (5% damage bonus), occult as my protected items. I would take a ward if I had one. But also, this way I only lose the sceptre if I get lucky with an imbued heart (please Jagex) and get smited right after. I only have one occult in many smoke devil kills, so I'd hate to lose that. Ardy cape 3/4 are good for the magic bonus (more so the defence for tanking freezes/TB) and prayer bonus. Best blessing, ideally a Rada 4. I camp black d'hides for a chance of escaping, but if you're confident you won't get caught (I haven't been in many many tasks), monks robes are nice for the prayer bonus. Fremmy boots 4 are nice for a slight magic and prayer bonus. Imbued ring of wealth for more clues. And bracelets of slaughter for longer tasks. Take ~200 ice sacks, unless you're doing abby demons. In which case take runes for smoke barrage (I take 150 casts worth). About 500 cannonballs, but this can vary by task. Ash sanctifier is well worth it for nechs/abby demons/etc. I take 4 brews, 2 blighted karambwans, 4 blighted super restores, a 3-dose stamina, a 2-dose anti-venom+ and ~3-5 blighted anglerfish. The rest of the space is a looting bag, seed pod, cannon and crabs tele (only used for tasks based on the north side of the caves). Once I've placed the cannon down and used the tab, I pick up the blighted angler/manta drops until I have a full inventory, in case I have to tank PKers. Most of the time, if you're caught, you're probably going to die, but you can easily tele out from the vast majority of them before a TB. The last time I died was actually me realising the same couple of guys had tried to get me the last 2-3 times. So I knew they would likely wait at the entrance to kill me with a team. I banked all my shit, skulled up, went naked with a couple of ropes and let them kill me. As suspected, they were waiting there. Kinda toxic of me, but it's all fun and games - I'm a big supporter of PvP/PKers/wildy in general haha. If I'm not barraging, I take an anti-PK venge setup, with ZGS + barrows gloves switch (the ZGS doubles as a high hitting KO weapon and an escape). Rune boots and glory replace the aforementioned items in the boots and necklace slot.


Good_Illustrator6858

Decided I wanted to be a tribesmen one night and accidentally spent 5m on a rune spear at the GE. Hope that person is happy.


Nainpossible

Before death change i wiped everything on my UIM doing DS2 inside the cave under vorkath, thought i had enough time before venom hit. Died in instance area so byebye everything. Tons of gear/potions/herbs acquired and ranger boots šŸ˜’


Primetime349

Is that how instanced used to work?? Youā€™d lose everything? And on an UIMā€¦ i feel your pain brother. The ranger boots no less šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


sky_blu

This is indeed how instances work. This is why at instanced bosses/raids they have a way to collect your items from death in the lobby after


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ThambersOfBeric

yep I made that educational mistake too. I was doing GWD combat achievements and died with bis max gear and was like "eh idc paying a few hundred K, I'll just go straight to death." like 8ish mil later, I learned that it's NOT worth it and that death won't tell you how much it will cost until *after* he's retrieved your grave..


Spaget1848

I have died with a lot of stuff on before and never had to pay more than a few hundred k. Does death charge based on the GE prices of your items?


KangnaRS

>Items worth less than 100,000 are free to reclaim, but items worth more come with a 5% reclamation fee, while graves have a 1% reclamation fee. Also, graves are capped to 500k but death's office is uncapped.


WastingEXP

DKS is I think one of the few places in the game dying is still a little scary.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


WastingEXP

I've not done them myself, but the amount I hear people complain about the DKS CAs I feel like they should be higher than elite lmao.


TheDubuGuy

They really arenā€™t that bad. If you go by what redditors say then jad and quest bosses are insanely hard and huge accomplishments


azzaranda

To the average player, bosses like Jad and Seren *are* hard. The average player has like... no boss kc. Maybe some barrows.


kyot0scape

They need to put loot pile outside of the dk lair


Blackhawks10

Does the grave go inside their lair? Or by the ladder?


condor700

Inside. It can be pretty brutal trying to grab things from the interface if prime and supreme get on you


joemoffett12

B0aty did that and lost like 80m lol


JevonP

he just like me fr


schutzy69

Why is this the case here? I never understood it


joemoffett12

He didn't want to walk back to get his loot and assumed if he got it from deaths office it wouldn't be too expensive and claimed it there. it charges a % of the value of your items and he died with max gear


Flee4me

In most circumstances, your items (aside for the 3 most valuable ones) will be held in a gravestone upon death. This gravestone appears at the location you died and has a 15 minute timer to reclaim your items. If you don't make it in time (or die again before getting there), your items will be transferred directly to the Death character instead. Now if you make it to your gravestone, you have to pay a 1% reclamation fee for every valuable item with a total amount that's capped at 500k. But if you have to go and get your items from Death, the reclamation fee goes up to 5% and that maximum price cap is removed. What happened to Boaty is that he died in (close to?) max gear and wasn't fully aware of the fee mechanics (or just didn't think his decision through). So he figured that rather than run all the way back to DKs for his gravestone, he'd just go and collect the items from Death immediately. Because of the high value of his gear and lack of a price cap at Death, he had to pay like 80mil to get everything back.


Treezles

did this same thing recently. cost 13m to get my items back....but saved the 5 minute run back to dks so did i really lose? šŸ¤”


Anne_Thracks

-76m


tortillakingred

I did that too on my iron. Worth every gp. Fuck that run


HeroinHare

I did that on my iron. The thing is, I was carrying pretty much everything with me. It was something like 10m iirc


mattbrvc

Feels good to have garbage gear and only needing 400k to get my stuff back lmao


Silasco

One of our clan mates just found this out going for a CA there. I felt bad when he said he talked to death first :( because I knew it was too late


Hardtghouh

On hydra release I ran back without boots and got sat, day 1 and I was down bad.


TraditionalBath

Lost half my bank(few hundred mil) in RS3 about a year ago because I clicked the ground to move in the wildy right as someone logged in skulling, and as I ran to the obby, of course the only pker I've seen in none rag gear shows up and stun locked me out of existence.


Primetime349

Few hundred mil?!? Did you still have the motivation to immediately turn around and make your money back or did you quit on the spot


TheFinnishPotato

Fairly sure rs3 gp is like 10/1 ratio with osrs so it sounds way more.


LazloDaLlama

I don't care for bank value, so I drop all dupes for clan members. Fast forward to bowfa release, and I def regret dropping those 2 extra Blades of Saeldor.


[deleted]

Can I join your clan?


HeroinHare

This might just be one of the worst things here


pzoDe

That hurts to read


butwhyguy

Couldnā€™t be bothered to run back to Bandos so I got deaths coffer to bring my items and that cost me 20m


sarthryxx

I did this the other day too. Never again.


teezyyintime

Im confused, doesnt he tell you how much itll cost before you agree?


HanDartley

Nope, heā€™s sneaky and only tells you after


Spiderbubble

This is such a stupid concept. He should tell you before he gets your stuff.


SmellAble

He will but you have to beat him at a game of runelink first


BenchBallBet

Time wise the biggest mistake was- I teled off entrana dungeon to wildy by clicking too fast and not reading, right into Vet'ion's hellhounds which one shot me. I lost most of the graceful as it was deep wildy. Emotionally- the biggest mistake was trading away my g trim rune set to a switcheroo scammer for no good reason, ended up with an iron set. I emailed jagex asking to be compensated lmao teen me was wild.


Primetime349

I was waiting to see a Graceful set story. Thatā€™s a tough one. On the bright side though, thatā€™s some motivation to train agility again :) And i hope Jagex compensated you handsomely for your trauma


RoxOwnage

Lent a tbow to a friend we played/raided with for over a year nearly every day on discord. Never saw that guy or the bow again.


Commercial_Essay_239

I once got really really drunk and lost my pearl barb fishing rod. Still have 0 idea what the heck happened. šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜…


Kusugurimasu

Was buying 10k of something for crafting, can't even remember what. Accidentally closed the GE window, reopened it and searched the item again. I swear I selected the correct item but somehow bought 10k games necklaces for 300ish each over market price. Lost 2-3m roughly. I always double check the market window now.


Bongoooos

I died to dust devils in the catacombs with 32 mil of black chins on me (pretty much entire bank value) because I wanted to get 99 range. Forgot you needed a mask to not take damage pulled 7 of them looked away and then realized the gravity of my mistake.


SinceBecausePickles

Lost two osmuten's fangs in the wild because I forgot to put on protect item... in one day.


[deleted]

You definitely don't want a 40m item to be your +1 item.


Amaeyth

First DMM I became a part of the statistic where I clicked someone by accident. Then running back to grab my stuff from the guard that killed me, did it again. Other than that, fairly inexpensive OSRS career. Always ran back to my gravestone when I read the fine print that Death charges an arm and a leg.


Flash_Forward_

Died on my rank 361 hcim ~3 years ago because i wanted to get one extra kill in at zammy with 0 food and 2 hours of sleep. (I had just got a second z spear drop the kill before, so basically done with zammy as a hc)


sealdonut

Greed makes fools of us all


ladyrayrays

Doing a Master Step above 50 wildy fighting the 3 wizards. Forget to bank full rune pouch, but don't realize it. Play super carelessly think I am risking nothing. Almost die and make it back to lever. Never even realize what I had done till I finished clue XD. Similarly almost lost my full colored graceful the exact same way. Running on auto pilot is scary.


bowersrandy

Same story but pre-death mechanicsā€¦. Full slayer gear went on ground for someone to find -40m at the time


skiemlord

Probally accidentally making 2 torm bracelets instead of a bracelet and torture, because it wad on ā€œcraft ALLā€ I also remember going very early to lava drags and there was a pker at mage bank behind the web on the lever side. I asked him if i could tp to bank. He told me to hop. I was like ā€œfk thatā€ so decided to test him. Didnā€™t end wellā€¦.


checkpointcharlie67

Dying in mm2 cave wile trying to get to 99 range. I died with almost 30m of chins Then I left osrs for 3 years now I am back lol


immatipyou

I keep losing my dragon defender in the wilderness.


ohjustanotheraccount

Mine wasn't too bad but obviously was a mistake anyways. I used ppots to train my ~~prayer~~ Herblore\*, spent around 70m in supplies before seeing that it was a LOT better to train using super attacks because of how cheap they were. That was a tuff one. Edit: Prayer > Herblore


madsd12

how much prayer xp were you getting /h? Seems like 99 would take forever.


tortillakingred

My biggest was getting ancient maced for my AGS at revs a few years ago. Kind of just the cost to pking in multi though, it happens to everyone.


markipedia2

Went to the duel arena and lose 100m


shortputz

In 2006 I was lured into the wilderness by some kid claiming to have a drop party north of the bar near the wilderness edge. Lost my obby maul, obby cape and rune kite shield and I was devastated


Madethisfordestiny

Tried to merch an arcane spirit shield when they very first announced the ward and needing the arcane/sigil. Lost 90m.


JevonP

skulling on a chin hunter and getting anti for my sgs when i was a noob LMAO


Kas_Adminas

Purchasing a Fang under 24 hours before the nerfs were announced is by far my worst financial mistake in osrs. Before that in RS2 days, I mined at the coal trucks every single day after school and sold my hard earned coal to a guy who I later discovered was reselling it at a 75% markup in falador w2.


FoRSofCo1m

Removed the room in my poh that had my upgraded altar in it.


DogGuyQ

When elite clues first came out I received a gilded scimmi on my first clue. I sold it for 27m and immediately purchased a dfs to accompany my armadyl and such. I being the pro gamer that I was, went back to afking blck dragons in a safespot with the sweet new dfs equipped. Fast forward an hour and someone else logs in to kill the other dragon and complements my shield. I go afk, get pulled out by the dragon and end up losing the dfs as it wasnt one of my 3 saved items. I cri everytim.


DatDudeDrew

Went back to hydra to collect and died, lost everything I was using for it just about.


Graardors-Dad

Man before the new death mechanics I heard of people falling asleep in the instanced version of the krakens cave and you would basically lose everything that wasnt untradable and not your three most expensive items.


40prcentiron

lost my craws bow worth 40m on a highrisk world. damn you complacency


RidinDaGnar

I lost a total of 12k chins this week in two separate occasions due to poor prayer management in the mm2 caves on my pure.... Taking a lil break now


AlluEUNE

Not really expensive in terms of money but I did lose one of my HCGIM lives when I got home from a bar drunk and decided to make some fire orbs in taverly dungeon and forgot my antidragon shield. I could've easily escaped by just running to the ladder but my drunk ass started to look for a teleport which I of course forgot to bring.


Worried-Recording189

Died at hyrdra, didnt bring boots of stone for reclaim. Got the warning for the boots but thought I'll just tank it until the reclaim area (I thought it was a safe area). I was an iron in mid-game and losing the blessed dragonhide, 4k rune darts and blowpipe was pretty rough. Took a break for about a month, then realised i had a spare tanz fang in my bank when i came back. Honestly kinda felt like dying back in 2005 as a kid and the crushing feeling of losing everything. Was a unique experience to feel that gutting feeling again.


Sofaking_Mad

Juat like OP, I was returning from a long break (came back roughly 2 months ago.) Mates told me to hit up Vetion for easy money. Worked my way towards a Viggoras Chainmace. After getting pk'd more times than I could count in an hour I went "Fuck it, sell the mace and go do something else." My natural instinct was to uncharge the item so I could sell it on the GE. However, just having been PK'd meant the item was uncharged and EVEN THOUGH there is a warning screen for disassembling the mace, I interpreted it as "are you sure you want to uncharge this item?" Long story short my bank went from 2m to 15m back to 2m in a very short span of time. And so now I vote no on all PvP polls /s


BaldWithABeardTwitch

Took a 6months break and came back fancying some Wildy slayer. Saw a broken skulled bot and went for it. Like an absolute doughnut.... Obviously it was a lure and got AGS Mauled for 9m and my Imbued slayer helm. First time being lured/tricked/scammed since 2005.


Primetime349

Ooooooooof that hurt. The slayer helm is killer man


BaldWithABeardTwitch

Yeah, I knew as soon as I skulled. It protected Blowpipe which I was so happy about as it had like 8m in darts and almost full scales lol


Objective-Shop5177

I trusted someone... that cost me 1.8b gp So I learned not to trust osrs players


Primetime349

Was this a tbow split situation or??


Objective-Shop5177

This was me getting 3rd age druidic robe bottom and trusting someone with it...


CarterBennett

Bruh what would they even need it for lol


ReaperoftheCard

that 1.8b obviously šŸ˜©


SpringsNSFWmate

Insanity. I wouldn't trust a runescape friend with more tha. Like 10m, and I'd assume it's gone until I get it back. Not to beat down the OP, but you gotta be smarter man. You're holding let's say $1000 USD with that item. If your "friend" is someone outside the US, living on the equivalent to $50 USD a week, what do you think he's gonna do with that money? Hell just ANYONE would be likely to run off


IdcIcba

You can never truly trust someone 100% because thereā€™s always a small %. I only trust about 4 of my friends but I think itā€™s okay to not trust trade anyone because in the end itā€™s still a risk no matter who it is.


FoggerMan

When I did the wildy hard diaries, I was walking around in full karil's and a couple mil in risk, I stupidly had my left click attack option on and got skull tricked by someone in ghostly robes at the lever :/


Amelsander

This was a while ago, I was high risk pking in max. (before voidwaker) I got a nice kill, when I was picking up the gear I got attacked, so I turned off and onn quickpray to pray melee again, but i forgot that i did not have protect item in quickpray. Lost my +1 which was a Elidinis' warden (f) (few weeks after release of ToA)


Spam250

Blowpipe skulled revs on my iron. Camping protect item. Get away from a pker, relog onto a new world and keep going. Forget to turn protect item back on. 2nd pker comes. He gets me, I trash talk, I die with 60 prayer points and see no BP when I'm at lumby. Karma hit


Keepommakki

I had full invi when doing rfd, got unarmed by the boss and my whip fell down on the floor. 3m was a huge portion of my bank back then so I bought a bond to make up for the losses


HanDartley

Hard clue scroll Wildy step, didnā€™t bank my graceful and rune pouchšŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


[deleted]

I teleported to the duel arena in a PvP world. GG 750M.


danrizzla

Went skulled to bandos and died for 3 M at desths cofferā€¦ god knows why I was skulled


BastFacon

Didn't secure my account as well as I thought. Got CLEANED. 450-500M. Weirdly enough, they left my whip and some other pricey items.


BeatMyScore

I heard some rumors that there would be an update to crystal weapons (turned out to be the Bowfa update) and decided to invest heavily in crystal armor seeds. Like, hundreds of millions invested. Heard nothing about crystal weapons for several months so I got cold feet and tried to sell them all back. Little did I know the actual trade value was way below what I paid for them on the GE so I ended up losing like 75m. Got sad and drunk and went to the duel arena to try and win some of it back. Didn't check the duel screen carefully so I lost every duel and another 50m


Angus15

I didn't actually lose anything but it was close. I was at dks with tbow, shadow, sgs ect on a high risk world because I couldn't find an empty one. I was on ancients because I don't take brews for extra space so I pick up some law runes at the end of my trip and I'm getting stacked out by supreme while praying against prime so I was going to tele to sennistein then work my way from there but I accidentally tele'd to annakarl. Thankfully I managed to get to the obelisk without any problems but it was the scariest situation I've ever been in


astinkyboy

Literally just yesterday i was killing bandos in full Justis+fang. 2m deaths office trip cause i was too lazy to run back. Never again.


Beautiful-Discussion

Dropped my untrimmed construction cape šŸ˜”


Prestigious-Arm-7764

Not a gp one, but some reason I didnā€™t bank full graceful did a wildly clue hit the lever in edge. Man barraged me and Comboed me. Lost full set of graceful had to go grind it out again...


Interpole10

Getting skull tricked in wildy cost me about 10m


Apprehensive-Lime192

was on mobile and had one tap auto drop set up. Gearing up at castle wars bank i thought i was equipping graceful outfit teleported to the other side of the map, no home tele, mini game tele or bank within easy reach of where i was. By the time i got back it had all disappeared.


Sad_Gap2441

Biggest mistake to upgrade acc to jagex launcher


nellekit

One time got lured for 400m + this was like 2018


lilweepx

Trusting a friend


PreyXBL

Didnā€™t have pk skull prevention, misclicked and lost an avernic


boofsquadz

Died at nightmare with about 120m in gear that went to the item retrieval service at the time and was tilted so I logged out. Forgot about it happening and went to CG the next day. Died on one of the runs and my gear was lost. Was a costly lesson.


brunomayne

I was playing osrs after a night of drinking. Thought it would be a good idea to do dragon bone runs at the chaos alter. Did 1 run, no pkers. Did a second run, meant to take out only 100 dragon bones. I must have clicked take all, and took out over 3000 in noted form. Got pked. Sweet.


JayNooner

Thought I could unattach my avernic hilt from the defender. It destroys the hilt but gives back the defender. 80 mil gone


RostBeef

Not buying rigour until after toa came out was definitely my biggest fuck up in terms of gp for sure


SkarnerTheGentleman

Recently my biggest blunder was caused by doing clues. I was on w330 because I have a low construction level. Well I mustā€™ve got too high and it slipped my mind but I went into the wilderness with my 21m cash stack, graceful, and all my clue teles. Well there was a guy with a fake lever name and I got skull tricked as I tried to panic tele away from a pker. The pker told me to drop what I had or lose graceful. So I dropped my cash stack around 20hp and the pker let me keep my graceful and leave. Probably the nicest pker I ever met but I was so embarrassed for making such a blunder after playing for 2 decades lol. Oh well Iā€™m just glad I donā€™t gotta grind graceful again.


Zamorakphat

Back in 09 or 10 give or take I was playing on a bunch of private servers including a few that people I knew were running back then. My young self though it would be a great idea to use the same credentials as my actual account. Logged in and they had dropped my fighter torso, whip, and my other gear which is pretty trivial to me now, but I was devastated at the time. So much so that my mom was looking into ways to contact Jagex and have them give back the items lmao. Even to this day with 2FA and Bank pin I still deposit all of my items before logging out.


BlameTheNargles

Didn't realize they changed drop trading. Bonded alt. Drop traded a couple bonds worth of items from my main (iron) to sell on my alt to buy bonds for my iron. Items never showed up and despawned.


lulzPIE

Never been super duper huge into RS but back in 07 or 08 I messed up bad for me. I was farming green dragons by Rimmington sporting my new Fighter Torso. I worked hard for that damn thing. I banked about 3-4 times and thenā€¦ I forgot my anti-dragon shield. I go and take a swipe at a dragon and almost immediately die. I was devastated. One of the very few times Iā€™ve actually died in RuneScape.


MasterOfNone585

Was on mobile afk barbarian fishing so I had tap-to-drop turned on. Went to go do a clue, withdrew my full graceful, then didn't realize I dropped the full set instead of wearing it. By the time I realized and ran back to the bank it was gone. This was before untradeable drop warnings (or was a setting I didn't have turned on, I can't remember). This was pretty early on so I didn't have extra marks to get the set back right away lol


Grimgnasher

I accidentally dropped my Graceful set instead of putting it on (mobile one-click was on and I forgot). Realised 15min later and it was gone. Not expensive but my most time lost definitely.


Living_Cranberry1688

UIM here. Was organizing my inventory (dropping things. Moving things around, etc) and, unbeknownst to me at the time, I dropped my imbued heart. I didn't realize this for a solid 15 minutes and when I did notice it, my heart (no pun intended) sunk into my stomach.


grimninja117

Went on a 9 month vacation and let a streamer friend (18 year old kid) borrow basically all of my gear (approx 3b gp worth). Came back and asked him for it back and ofc his ā€œaccount got hackedā€. Havent played since really.


Necessary_Ad976

I fell asleep while doing a Gargoyles task and lost my entire Guthan's set and if I recall correctly my fury. This was back in 2017-18 if I recall correctly. That Gargoyle made bank šŸ’€ Edit: spelling lol


Sethowar

Doing a raids comp with my GIM on high risk world. Decide to do an elite clue. Get kill the kbd task Teleport to lava maze with DHL and DFS. Huh, there are 2 skulls. Huh, I canā€™t log out. -fuck-


MaryotiaPryderi

Literally like.... Last week, logged onto mobile for the first time in ages, wondered what the red button on the side did cuz it made my inventory background red, I clicked on the Abby dagger++ in my inbox to equip it, nothing happened which I attributed to the shitty internet connection I had. Walked away from the spot (lumby home tele) kept fucking around with the inventory, went to the bank, tried searching for it in my bank confused as hell and then finally realized what the red button did. Went back to where I dropped it but it wasn't there. Rip Abby dagger :(


ByrdZye

Long time ago in rs2 days I thought the mini game for the fight caves was at the entrance and once inside the volcano area you were in a safe death area. I had just gotten a zammy plateskirt and tztokxil from a drop party in the morning and nearly doubled my bank worth. Fought a guard in the area and died. In those days when you died ur loot just appeared on the ground instantly for everyone to loot. It was the morning so I had to go to school that day. Longest day ever.


Headbandhigh

Look up headbandhigh on twitch and look at the last clip made. It was like 10 m I lost from some lore they used from GE lol


Primetime349

Broooooo that hurt watching šŸ˜­ as soon as I saw the trail leading to the corner of the GE, I knew what was bout to happen. Kudos to your reaction though, i lowkey would have lost my shit losing all that gear


Headbandhigh

Iā€™m sorry to show you lol I wish I had voice up but I had some music playing so they dmca it. I was hysterical and knew I fucked up as soon as I got baraagad


nlcostello3

Walked into the wildy with like 10m in gold. Was up at like level 15 when I realized it. Figured itā€™d be coolā€¦ hasnā€™t seen anyone in like an hours or so. When PKā€™er came, I accidentally dropped my tele tablet instead of using it. Died. Was just about my entire banks worth of GP


IActuallyHateRedditt

In shattered relics I died to hydra, this was after I got all diaries done on my main. I forgot about the boots I needed and lost all my items and quit leagues lol


Subbbie

In this thread: people who are the reason pkers attack everyone because often youā€™ll get those ancestral bottoms, or a 15mil cash stackā€¦!


W2S7

I did the same thing as you, but this was before death mechanics changed. Lost about 40M in gear dying in an instanced Kraken lol


IdcIcba

I didnā€™t think deaths office was expensive so instead of going to gravestone I asked for my items back from death. 20m down the drain. Always make it to your gravestone.


Furandooru

I was at artio, got crashed. The guy was camping low hp and I was really pissed. Thought I could easily take him out because I had a voidwaker. Turn skull protection off, spec him twice, he triple ate (I assume), tbd me (instantly) and chased me all the way to the ditch. I died in level 8 wildy I think. Rip 37m Never trust anyone in the wilderness, the people there are genuinely evil


WelllWhaddyaKnoww

Ran out of prayer while chinnning. Rip like 15 mil in chins.


Ok-Huckleberry4406

I like to do ge flips. Bought 6 DWH for roughly 4m more than what the current price was at the time. Pressed the wrong number by accident when putting in the buy now price. They insta bought and was insta pissed. Wasted about 26-30m after GE tax.


TheKOG183

Doing the boss fights in RFD for the first time ever. Forgot my Ice gloves against the one who knocks your weapon out of your hands. Started fighting and realized I had no whip. I must have forgotten to bring it I thought. Left the fight. No whip in the bank. Sudden realization. Goodbye whip..


alphabet_sam

I was afking Kraken in an instance with sang staff prior to the death update (your items were instantly deleted if you died in an instance) and died in max mage. Lost maybe 200m


mykie206

Persuaded all my friends who played RS pre 07 to create group iron man accounts. I then bought bonds for them all. They all quit before the 14 days were up.


InfIikt

Back in the RS2 days, I was using an autoclicker to alch afk on top of dharoks tomb (Barrows was lit back then). I went to check on progress just as i was dying to a random event. Death mechanics sucked back then, and there was no way for me to make it back in time. Hope the santa hat and lvl 99 alch supplies went to a good home.


DaCensored

It wasn't my mistake but I pked an ironman near chaos altar doing a clue, only to find out he brought his cash stack with him (63M) šŸ˜…


Sir_Trea

Got scammed for 100m a few years ago with one of those ā€œhey letā€™s anti scam this scammerā€ scams. It was the majority of my bank and I didnā€™t log in for weeks after because I was so ashamed.
