As with most games... or professions... or groups... EverQuest (EQ) has it's own unique phrasing, terminology and slang.

Much of it can be, and often is, borrowed and adapted from non-EQ sources, but some of it is 100% EQ.  Some of it may also have multiple meanings, depending on the context in which it is used. Additionally, you may find that on different servers, there may a variation in preferred terminologies!

>> This page has a lot more than just definitions! It also includes tidbits, lore, "how to" and similar. <<

>> The best way to use / search this page is to use the Keyboard Command Cntrl-F and then type in a keyword to search for. <<

Do you know of any I should add? Did I miss any? Did In get any out of proper alphabetical order? Any suggestions on a topic to add? If you note any errors, misspellings, item name errors, misinformation or anything that needs addressing on this page -- PLEASE let me know via an in-game EQ Message (Bonzz on the Bertoxxulous server), or post on Bonzz's Discord Server!

Other Dev comments that are still in EQ Forums are imaged below (click the images to see the original posts). As a note, I will not include specific Programs that Players have used on this page and 100% do NOT recommend or promote using any Program that can aide a Player to cheat. Quite the opposite! Don't do it! However, in the Dev postings, they did say that Parsing and using Item Collectors is OK (they just read logs, they do not help you do anything in-game).

The RT will work to keep themselves 2nd on the aggro list, so that such attacks fall on the RT, to prevent such attacks from going to a character far less capable of taking the blows (re: a healer, a caster....). Sometimes Ramp is an AoE, so an RT is useless. In such cases, the best way to avoid AoE Ramp is to fight at max melee or be out of melee range all together.

RAMPAGE TANK - (RT, Ramp Tank) A Rampage Tank is a Character, a tank type preferred, that is second on a MOB's aggro list.

There is at least one zone I know of, where if you are shrunk, levitated and trying to skirt around MOB's high up on a wall, you can actually slip through the zone barrier and get stuck along the edge of the zone (you can move back and forth along the edge and nothing more).

USURP - This means taking over leadership of a Guild, using the command /usurp, that was added to the game in May 2020. Certain conditions apply, to include the current Guild Leader having been inactive for at least 1 year, or there is no actual Guild Leader.
