League coming to an end: What was your biggest mistake/regret?

I am a first-time player of PoE, having started in mid-January, and I am still learning a lot. Yesterday, while reforging Sekhema's relics, I was looking for ones with "+ increased quantity of relics dropped by monsters."

In my reforges, I got one with not only that but also increased movement speed, and I thought, "Hmm, those might be expensive." It turns out they are, but mine didn’t have good values. I had around 25 divs and thought maybe I could try to roll it to max values since it’s the end of the league anyway. I didn’t know that the modifiers have limits, and apparently, they depend on the relic level.

After slamming 25 divs into a relic that could only reach about half of the max values compared to 80+ level relics, I found it really weird that I didn’t get any high rolls on either of the modifiers. It wasn’t until I held alt and saw that the max possible values were indeed just half of the ones listed on the trade website. Well, lesson learned. Time for the next league.

So, I wonder if anyone has made a terrible, terrible mistake like mine. I know 25 divs isn’t that much, but for me, it was almost all my net worth.
