I'm beyond embarrassed.
But I will post my stupidity for everyone's enjoyment.

I had a friend I've been playing with for about a year.
I got a message from him asking to meet him at Al Kharid bank.
Apparently he needed help so he didn't get "sceptre scammed".

Anyways, after some convincing I hopped worlds and I had my regular PVM gear for each style in my inventory, plus some cash etc. This is where I felt uncomfortable about the situation. I was about to log off, but then my friend traded me. I right clicked his named and accepted the trade. It moved me out to PVP and i was done.

I understand I fell for the lure. It was elaborate and I was friends with them for over a year. They were genuinely nice, they helped with pvm and such.
Never asked me for anything. Not once.
But I feel so dumb. I lost literally everything I had of value.

For the list of what I lost:
Torva helm
Torva chest plate
Torva platelets
Masori mask (F)
Masori chest (F)
Masori chaps (F)
Ancestral hat
Ancestral top
Ancestral bottom
Primordial boots
Pegasian boots
Eternal boots
Avernic boots
Amulet of Rancour
Amulet of Anguish (or)
Occult amulet (or)
Tormented bracelet (or)
Kodai wand
Scorching bow
Voidwaker
Spectral spirit shield
Dragon claws

Plus 50M in cash.

I don't blame people for making fun of me.
But I will never regain that wealth again.
I feel stupid, and physically sick.

Anyways, I thought I would update everyone..

I didn’t enjoy reading this but I bet you’re having posted it may help prevent someone from getting lured in the future. So I thank you for the post. I hope you find some good stuff cause you deserve it.

I think it’s crazy that you can accept a trade and get teleported to pvp land. Sorry

I agree, I shouldn't trust anyone.
My fault.. I do feel ridiculously dumb.

Anyone know how much it would be to replace the gear above? I'm so out of touch with go ratios and such..

I don't know what else to do.

Its roughly 30 FG per million.. so guess-timating you being around 1.4-1.6b is like 45-50k FG?

Its a tough lesson but PVP worlds are birthday suit worlds. I wouldnt wear leather armor because someone would kill you for it.

its because its an animation stall.
The actual character is out in the PvP area outside the safe zone, but looks like its standing still.

it's like .14/m if you get 3b but prob can look for better bulk deals. just don't get it from sites, get it from someone off cord.

Could you imagine spending a year to gain someone’s trust to lure them for $500 of gold, that is probably the worst ROI imaginable
