Post your "Give me back my money Goblin!" moments

[MiltVala]

Ok, I made this thread on TO, may as well port it over

So, share with us how the Goblin tinkerer decided to screw you over with terrible chains of bad reforges!

My worst of yet

Broken Scourge of the Corruptor
Shoddy Scourge of the Corruptor
Broken Scourge of the Corruptor
Broken Scourge of the Corruptor
Damaged Scourge of the Corruptor
Weak Scourge of the Corruptor
Damaged Scourge of the Corruptor
Broken Scourge of the Corruptor

I ended up with Demonic later, and I'm fine with that now I guess

Share your moments!

I had a chain of 25 consecutive bad reforges on a Pygmy Necklace before I finally got Warding.
Then I learned that I was supposed to have a Lucky one, instead.

Ugh. It took me forever to get my Mythical Bubble Gun... so much platinum!!!!

 

[ZemmySix]

Don't even try to compete.40 platinum on getting legendary terra blade And that's legit platinum

 

[360Chadscope]

My musket. Oh god my musket. I started with Awful (I believe). I reforged 5 times, every time it was still Awful. Then I was out of money.

 

[Kazzymodus]

Excalibur took me ages, literally ages (and a fortune). And then 1.2 came along...

What typically happens is I get a string of bad reforges, so I click the reforge button faster and go past the reforge I want. I have wasted so much platinum doing this so now whenever I reforge something I go at snail speed.

 

[Pixel]

I get strings of bad reforges, it happens all the time. That goblin must gets a hell lot richer each time I attempt to reforge one of my glorious weapons, Paladin Hammer being one of them.

The Goblin Tinkerer - epitomising Capitalism since 2012.

But in all seriousness, oh God - I don't even want to think about it.

My worst(?) had to be when I was reinforcing a set of Tabi, of all things. For once, I needed Warding. I'm not sure how many times exactly I reforged (SO MANY.) them, but I do remember getting Menacing SIX times before I finally got Warding.

I spent once 80 platinum and 30 min to get a Legendary Terra Blade, i almost uninstall the game.

I you not, on my first Terra Blade (I made it like a week ago) I reforged it once and got the very Modifier you speak of.[DOUBLEPOST=1412783399][/DOUBLEPOST]

Hooray.

 

[Morrigen]

This topic makes me scowl from memories of spending all of my savings trying to get something other than BROKEN.

 

[Roxoz]

Silly people, I'm usually pretty lucky with reforging Most I spent on one item is maybe 10 platinum for my Mythical Razorpine

 

[hockeywiz]

I don't always reforge items.

But when I do they're always legendary

 

[ppowersteef]

trying to reforge my Terra Blade from "legendary" to "light" for melee speed research.
ended up spending 50 platinum for the same speed, due to rounding...

 

[Max]

I can't remember how long it took me to get Godly for my Vampire knives. Had to farm so many bosses....

Tactical Shotgun:
Broken Tactical Shotgun
Broken Tactical Shotgun
Broken Tactical Shotgun
UNREAL- *accidentally reforges*
Broken Tactical Shotgun
Broken Tactical Shotgun

Yes I did get broken 5 times no joke.

When the Chain Gun was first introduced, I didn't know it couldn't get Unreal...

I used about 32 tries on it before I looked it up.

The headache I got after reading that it couldn't receive it, was excruciating.

 

[GawenStarTeller]

I started trying to get my Excalibur to legendary, and wasted about 25-30 platinum coins unsuccessfully trying to do so. So many boss fights won... so many Gungnirs sold... so many souls, Planteras...
I upgraded it to the True Excalibur and got legendary on the first try.
