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

[Bethany]

This means that I have spent an ungodly amount of money on reforges.

Next time try reforging the Amount of Money from Ungodly to Totally Epic.

… my Goblin Tinkerer is staring at me, shaking his head and muttering "You're doing it wrong."

After not getting the prefix for a long time i get to used to clicking the mouse and I get the prefix then click the mouse again and lose it for another 5 mins so much money gone

 

[PulseFox]

well, for luck, when i was utterly a noob, i got legendary on my first reforge, on my first terra blade.
then, we have the star veil.
hasty star veil
quick star veil
precise star veil
(note that its over 20 gold each, and i needed other stuff and it was pre-mechs

Then he accidentally press the reforge button....
Broken Terra Blade
Wait... Did I spent money to change a legendary TB to a broken one? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

 

[Scarecrow]

I have a bit of an interesting one

I was trying to get ruthless vampire knives, so what does the tinkerer do? keep giving it godly. he wasted so much more money than I would have needed to spend if he kept reforging it to broken. I believe I got godly at least 20 times before getting ruthless. I had to go to my main world to get my giant stash of 999 platinum.

I had the same thing happen when I tried to get a ruthless Sniper...(I already had an unreal sniper one of mine actually dropped w/ the prefix)
Unreal

(can't afford to reforge this one so takes my other unprefixed one)
Unreal...
I go broke and give up...
to this day I still have 3 Unreal Snipers...

 

[CraftedNightmare Here!]

I can't tell you how much times I skipped Legendary.

 

[ppowersteef]

You know,
I had several times where I'd bad luck with reforging,
But I'd also 'bad luck' with reforging it in one time, done the whole preparation for nothing:

(Old comic showing showing the situation)

 

[Firearrow15]

I try not to be to stubborn when it comes to reforging. If I can't get legendary or whatever in about 20 tries, I settle for something like demonic or ruthless.

It helps that the last time I tried reforging a weapon, it went like this:
Flairon-> Shoddy Flairon -> Godly flairon :O

 

[Xman101]

I never quite paid attention to exactly how much platinum I lost while trying to reforge my Terra Blade.

All I know for sure is that I had 50 legit platinum. And then I didn't.

So, I had to borrow from my previous main character. It pained me to do so, since the money that character raised was not legit - it was money taken from multiplayer servers pre-1.2 using the chest-protect exploit.

And still I lost 25-50 platinum from the extra 100 I borrowed.

I even crafted a second Terra Blade in order to try and lower the reforge costs. (Godly, you troll!)

And yet I have quite a few experiences of reforge luck when it comes to Night's Edge, be it crafted or first-reforged Legendary. (Coincidence? Perhaps...)

another time in mobile is that i payed 30 gold for a bad prefix on my crystal storm (i cant remember prefix it was though)

 

[Samrux]

I've actually been impossibly lucky with the goblin, lately.
It might be my huge charm and charisma. Or my huge hammer, casually pointing in the general direction of some smurf.

Well, paladins do have a lot of charisma

 

[Cockroachcomics]

I was reforging some magic weapon, and I was looking for mythical. Not once, but THREE times I got mythical and then clicked the reforge button again by mistake.

 

[Firearrow15]

On my third solar eclipse in my current world, the only eclipse loot I was missing was te death sickle. One dropped with some sub-par modifier, and I thought "eh, I can reforge it later" then a second one dropped with legendary. Thank you fate, for saving my money from the greedy tinker.

 

[ibakedpotato]

5th reforge on terra blade legendary costed me about 20 gold

 

[oscarswider]

.This will make someone very mad, but I got a legendary terra blade when I crafted it,

 

[ibakedpotato]

I'm playing on mobile so I don't get modifiers on my weapons when I craft them
