What did they mean... what did they say? If you know the slang, it can save the day! -- Bonzz

This page was originally started to define EQ Slag... terms and phrases you may hear while playing EverQuest. However, in defining those meanings, this page quickly expanded into much more than that... out of necessity! Lore, How To, Secrets, Commands, Tactics, and on and on! In short, it has evolved from a Dictionary, to a Compendium and essentially, an EQ Encyclopedia. It's a "Slang-A-Pedia-Saurus!"

NOTE: BY IT'S VERY NATURE... THIS PAGE IS CONSTANTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION & REVISION!

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

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 or 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!

Do you know of any I should add? Did I miss any? Did I 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!

AGGRO - (Agro, Hate, Aggravation) While the spelling is off, this is a short slang / acronym for Aggravation... which is a reference to MOB's and who they focus their attention on (who they actively attack, aka 'hate' the most). In a group or a raid, once any Player acquires "aggro" on a MOB, others in the group / raid will also gain a level of Aggro when they assist that player, or any other Player that has also acquired any level of aggro in anyway (such as attacking the MOB, healing, buffing...). While everyone can gain a Level of Aggro (aka "Hate") on a MOB, it is the Player with the most Aggro / Hate that the MOB will generally focus their attention (attacks) on. See Aggro List and / or Aggro Meter.

Players are, in fact, on an Aggro list with MOB's even if it can't be seen visibly. This list is ordered by way of the amount of "Hate" each Player has on the MOB.

In order of least to most intoxicating, they are: Respectable, Persuasive & Potent.

ALPHA LOOT - A term short for Alphabetical Looting, not 'Master Looting' as many think. This is a reference to now, a likely obsolete looting process, where players take turns looting killed MOB's in a rotation, going alphabetically.

ALL ACCESS - (Gold Account, All Access Account, SoE All Access) All Access, once known as a Gold Account & SoE All Access (now one and the same), is simply paid account that gives the Player access to all the features of EverQuest (no limits, except the most recent two expansions if they have not been purchased) and access to Play other Games offered by Daybreak (EverQuest II, DC Universe On Line & PlanetSide 2). All Access Accounts get 500 DBC for free (if claimed, so be sure to do that), each month, as well as a 10% Price Reduction in the Marketplace. However, the free 500 DBC is only awarded to accounts that pay with real money (not Krono). It also allows Players to play on TLP servers.

ALL ALL - This is a reference to an item being useable by ALL Classes and ALL Races.

ALLA - (Allah) See Allakhazam (below).

ALLAKHAZAM - (Alla, Allah, Zam, fanbyte) This is a web site that has pretty much been around just about as long as EQ has. It is a repository of all most everything-EverQuest. It has limited free access, or full access via paid membership (as little as $9 with a full year subscription, as of this typing). Allakhazam is still the universal 'go to' site, for all things EverQuest, and is the largest repository for EverQuest information out there.

ALLY - Ally refers to (1) of the (9) possible levels of Faction (Scowls --> Threatening --> Dubious --> Apprehensive --> Indifferent --> Amiable --> Kindly --> Warmly --> Ally). When you kill most MOB's, you will see Faction Hits that add or detract from your Faction with one Faction type or another. You can see your Faction Levels with most (but not all) Factions in the Faction Window (EQ Button ---> Character --> Faction Standing). Ally is the maximum level of Faction you can acquire. Faction is often required for tasks & quests.

ALMAR - Almar is an actual Player Character, known for the web site Almar's Guides... a site with guides for a number of games, to include EverQuest (particularly their expansion related 'leveling guides' and 'farming locations'). 

ALT - This a reference to an Alternate Character you play. See Alternate (below). This also a reference to a key on your board, the 'ALT' key, which is often used in EverQuest to initiate in-game Keyboard commands.

ALTERATION - Alteration is a category / skill in Magic, that relates to warping reality in some way, such as with Teleportation, Invisibility and the like. Some classes also get a supportive skill called Specialize Alteration.

ALTERNATE - (Alt, Alts, Doppleganger, Persona, AKA) A term Players use to refer to other Characters on the same account as their "Main." It is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to Characters they have on a separate account, which are more accurately referred to as Boxes.

ALTERNATIVE ADVANCEMENT - (Ability Points; AA's; Alternate Abilities)  Alternate Advancement (AA's). AA's are an alternative version of Character (Regular) Experience, that can enhance existing elements of your character and / or provide new options to your character. When you reach the maximum Character Level and have at least another 20+% into that Level, it may be a good idea to consider changing your experience settings to weighted towards AA, rather than Character Experience. When you earn an AA in game, the message you see will call it an 'Ability Point.'

ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENT EXPERIENCE - This is a reference to Experience that goes toward your Alternate Advancement, to earn AA Points (see Alternate Advancement, above). Alternate Advancement Experience is earned in lieu of Regular (Character) experience. You can use a scroll bar in the AA Window to set how much of Regular Experience you want to be applied to AA Experience (0% to 100%), in intervals of 10%. It is possible to set this at other amounts using the command /alternateadv on XX (with XX being the percentage you want to set it to, between 0 and 100). I recommend a 3 or 7 related percentage (3, 7, 93 or 97), because it is said that EQ Math rounds up! For instance, new Levels are added with an Expansion, so you set AA XP at 3% or 7%, so that you get the most regular XP as possible. Once you have the Levels and a Death Buffer done, you may then want set the AA XP at 93% or 97%, so that most XP goes towards AA's. The logic is that since EQ Math rounds up, the XP you get actually totals up to be more than 100% (supposedly 5% more), but that is unproven.

ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENT POINTS - This is a reference to Points / Levels earned with Alternate Advancement Experience, most commonly referred to as simply 'AA's' or 'AA Points.' These 'Points' can be used to buy Alternate Advancement skills / abilities to improve / add specific things / areas of your Character.

ALTERNATE PERSONA - (Alt Persona, AP) This is a reference to a variant Persona of your base Character, or Persona. See Persona.

ALTERNATIVE CURRENCY - There are number of "currencies" in the game, other than Platinum, Gold, Silver and / or Copper. Alternative Currency was first introduced with the Lost Dungeons of Norrath expansion and has been part of the game ever since. In most expansions since LDoN, there have been at least (2) types of Alternative Currency... commonly referred to as "Group Currency" & "Raid Currency." These Alternative Currencies are earned by way of defeating Group missions or by defeating Raids within a given expansion. These currencies can then be used to purchase special expansion-only (group-level or raid-level) items from a related Specialty Vendor (commonly called a "Group Vendor" or a "Raid Vendor). There are also other types of Alternative Currency that is acquired in other ways, such as Commemorative Coin, which can only be earned when Anniversary events are active.

AMIABLE - Amiable refers to (1) of the (9) possible levels of Faction (Scowls --> Threatening --> Dubious --> Apprehensive --> Indifferent --> Amiable --> Kindly --> Warmly --> Ally). When you kill most MOB's, you will see Faction Hits that add or detract from your Faction with one Faction or another. You can see your Faction Levels with most (but not all) Factions in the Faction Window (EQ Button --> Character --> Faction Standing). Player pets are automatically Amiable to all factions, as are Mercenaries, or so it appears (at least, when you are not in combat). This level of Faction is often required for some, but not all, quest NPC's to talk / cooperate with you.

AMMO - Ammo, all though the spelling is off,  is slang / short for Ammunition. Ranged attacks require ammo, be it archery (arrows) or throwing (shurikens, axes, etc.). Normally, when using such ranged attacks, you need at least (1) of your "ammo" items in your Characters Ammo slot, and as many as you can put (stack) in your Characters Ammo slot. If you have extra in your bags, they should replenish automatically. When not using ranged attacks, there are non-ammo items that you can put in these slots, instead (such as a Tradeskill Trophies, when doing combines).

AMMUNITION - See Ammo, above.

ANBEAL - Anbeal is an anagram of Al Bean, in tribute to Astronaut Alan Bean. Anbeal is the third Planet in the Ro Solar System, where Norrath is located. At times, due to it's orbit, it is sometimes the fourth planet. It has no atmosphere, no water and no moons.

ANCHOR - This term is sometimes used in reference to a Bind Spot, however, it is most often in reference to the Primary & Secondary Anchors (teleport related items you can place in a Guild Hall or Housing Property) that are purchased in the Marketplace.

ANONYMOUS - This is a status you can take on with your Character using the command /anon or /a. It hides your Class & Guild from other Players. While it will not hide your Character from a /who search, it will hide your Level & Location. This status is generally used by Players who like to play alone and / or otherwise want to 'hide' from other Players for one reason or another. However, other Players are often suspicious of this status and some Guilds even make rules that their members must not use it.

ANTONIUS BAYLE - An EQ server. See here for Server details. Antonius Bayle is also an in-game Faction. There have been (4) Antonius Bayles. The first Antonious Bayle is known as the "Great Unifier," due his uniting of Human Tribes into a viable Human Civilization... and the founding of Qeynos. The second Antonious Bayle pushed to have Tunaria renamed as Antonica after his father (the first Antonious Bayle). He became known as the "Great Defender" due his actions to fend off heretic and undead hordes that had blasted a hole (the zone commonly known as The Hole) into Odus. His son, the third Antonious Bayle, was paranoid and generally remained neutral, which allowed Sir Lucan D'Lere to take over the City of Valour and rename it Freeport. Even though he did not hold much respect due his neutrality, he was known as the "Great Diplomat." He had two sons, Kane Bayle (who can be seen in Qeynos in the original EverQuest) and the fourth Lord Antonious Bayle (can be seen in Oceangreen Hills in the Seeds of Destruction), who took over leadership and has been known as a good leader, despite the efforts of his brother Kane, who hates him.

You can see your Faction Levels with most (but not all) Factions in the Faction Window (EQ Button --> Character --> Faction Standing). At this level of faction Vendor may still buy / sell with you, but you might find that their prices aren't as favorable. Some Quest NPC's may still offer you their Quests at this level.

APPRENTICE - This is a worded rating you can see in relation to certain Skills (in your Skills Window, EQ Button -> Character -> Skills). While EQ is inconsistent with this "rating," it is generally for Skill Levels from 100 to 199, and you even get an "Apprentice" title when you reach 100 in Tradeskills. It is also a term related to the lower level (skilled) Mercenaries.

APPRENTICE ARTISAN - This is a Title reference to attaining a Skill Level of 100 in all Tradeskills.

AREA OF EFFECT -  (AoE, AE) Area of Effect refers to spells / effects that have a limited range and can effect Players within a certain range from where ever the AoE was cast or targeted. In the case of Player Aura's, it's centered on the Player that cast it. In the case of MOB's, it either centered on the MOB, the Player that was targeted, the spot on the ground where it was cast (see Ground Cast) or on the visible particle effect that results. With AoE's, if you are far enough away, you can avoid the detrimental effects or move out of the beneficial effects (which ever applies).

ARENA - An Arena, is an area where any Character that enters the area is automatically made PvP until they leave that area. These area's allow Players to battle each other, without having to become PvP full time. There are Arena's in many City Zones, as well as the zone that is actually called The Arena.

ARTIFACT - Artifact, at least originally, referred to an item that was limited to (1) per server (no kidding). However, later, some Artifact items were added to the game in certain Monster Missions. The way those items functioned was that they would not leave the Mission with you. Instead, they would convert to something different once you left the mission (zone). Basically, it would change ("transmute") into a similar item, based on your Character Level.

ARTISAN - This is a term related to Tradeskills / Tradeskillers (i.e. Master Artisan). This basically means you are an overall (all-skills) artisan. You can earn three levels of this title for having all the basic tradeskills at a certain and common level (all at 100, 200 and at 300).

ATTUNABLE - Attunable items are also Tradable. Attunable means that once you equip or otherwise use such an item, it becomes 'Attuned' to your Character and as a result, it also becomes No Trade (see No Trade). However, some Attunable items are also marked as Heirloom, which can modify the conditions of being No Trade (see Heirloom). Most, if not all Attunable items that have been Attuned (made No Trade) can be converted ('Unattuned') back into a Tradable, Attunable item. With Hero's Forge Ornament sets, this can be accomplished by combining the armor ornament set (all seven items from the same set) inside a Hero's Forge Suit Consolidator (sold in the Marketplace and by Loyalty Vendors). Other items can individually be combined inside Ultron's Ultimate Unattuner (sold by Loyalty Vendors, and the Overseer vendor... a mysterious presence),

AUCTION - This is a chat channel in EverQuest. It is not a channel you have to join. It is used via the /auction command, to spam the zone (it is not server wide) about an item you wish to sell. Example: /auction WTS Krono.

AUGMENTATION - (Aug) This is an item that will fit in an Augmentation Slot, to enhance the item you put it in, by way of stats, procs, appearance and so forth. Augmentations will only fit into Slots that match their "Type," but also sometimes have other restrictions (i.e. they are Lore, they only fit in a weapon, etc.).

AURA - (Sphere of Influence) Aura's, originally known as a 'Sphere of Influence,' are basically 'Area of Effect' buffs, that you only benefit from by being close enough to the player that cast it (and / or in the same group), or in the Aura itself (which should have be seen as a visible effect where ever it is at). When it comes to MOB's, they often use what players refer to as Auras as well, but they are detrimental (harmful). MOB auras can generally be seen as some type of particle effect or target ring like circle that appear in certain locations and / or on certain targeted Players. In fact, sometimes MOB Aura's can even move about and you will need to avoid them.

AUTO - Short for Automatic.

AUTO COMBINE - (Automatic Combine) Tradeskill devices have an option (checkbox) to "Make All." This is a reference to automatically combining items on a Tradeskill Device, until you run out of Raw Materials.

AUTO FIRE - (Automatic Fire) This is a reference to using a range attack (bow and arrows or throwing items) to automatically keep shooting arrows or throwing weapons, until you run out of Ammo (or the MOB is dead), using the /autofire command. Auto Fire will continue to shoot or throw (arrows or throwing items) as long as the target is still viable (not dead), or if you swap targets fast enough to keep it going on a second target.

Spells have a limitation as to their 'range.' Arrows can only go so far. You must be close enough to doors and chests to open them. You must be in 'melee range' to fight a MoB. So, 'distance' is an important basis in EverQuest. See also: Range, Location.

DISTILLERY - See Brew Barrel.

DIVINATION - Divination is a category / skill in Magic, that relates to 'see the unseen,' so to speak (i.e. See Invisible, and the like). Some Classes also get a supportive skill called Specialize Divination.

You can also buy a Bag of Doubloons (that will grant about 100 Doubloons, when clicked) from "Pagus Nonad" in Sunrise Hills, or with "Alerynril the Loyal" in the Plane of Knowledge.

DOUG - Doug is a name given to the basic placeholder Model for MOB's and NPC's in EverQuest. Or better, they are the default model, which is a Human Male wearing minimal attire (no gear). Once in a while, Devs forget to assign or create a correct model / template for NPC's & MOB's. As a result, Players will, instead, see "Dougs" until the Devs address the matter. One famous case of this was with the 'Unity' mission in Blackburrow, where all the fish were Doug model, until they fixed it.

DP - See Darkpaw.

DPS - See Damage Per Second.

DPS CLASS - This is a reference to Classes that can do a high level of DPS (See Damage Per Second) in Battle (such as Druids, Magicians, Monks, Necromancers, Rangers, Rogues, Warriors and Wizards).

DRAG CORPSE - (Drag, Corpse Drag) - See Corpse Drag.

Extra slots can be purchased via the Marketplace (maximum was 250 Slots, now it is 500 slots). Essentially, Dragon's Hoard is like up to 500 unsearchable Bank Slots (unless you search the Dragon's Hoard itself). For more details click here.

DRAGON KILL POINTS - (DKP) Not to be confused with Raid Rules, Dragon Kill Points (DKP) is a Player created / maintained system of awarding Dragon Kill Points to Players for their participation in Raids. At it's essence, it is a way of recognizing and awarding the Players that help and participate in raids the most often, so that they have higher chances to acquire loot / upgrades, which, in turn, helps the success rate of future raids (Players become more durable / capable due the upgrades and experience of raiding). Players can use their earned DKP to "bid" on items that drop during raid events (somewhat like an auction process). There are many, many variant DKP systems out there. Depending on who you ask, most DKP systems have concerns / problems related to how many Points are awarded; how / when points are awarded; how, or if, Alts / Boxes are included; how bidding is handled; how winners are decided; how much DKP a Player can save up; and so on! In short, there is no perfect DKP system... but there are some systems that are better than others. You can't make everyone happy, so don't try to! The idea is to develop a DKP system and stick to it! By sticking to it.. meaning the rules apply to everyone... the system is, by default, "fair" on that basis alone... since there is no favoritism / entitlement and so forth. If Raid / Guild Leaders decide to modify their DKP System, it should be done openly and known to all involved. Two things that are necessary for a DKP System, is that someone must maintain the DKP system and that there should be a way that all players can access, see and verify that DKP is being awarded / deducted correctly (this is normally done via a web site). Don't be a pot stirring Karen! If you participate in Raids that use DKP, abide by the DKP System that is in place... even if you don't like the system! Otherwise, go find another Raiding Guild / Alliance that uses a DKP System you like better, and raid with them. See also Raid Rules.

DRAGON PUNCH - This is an offensive skill related to Human and Drakkin Monks.

DRAGON'S BREATH - (Breathe Attack, Breathe Weapon, Breath Attack) - This is an attack (AA Related) ability unique to Drakkin.

These attacks are basically just resist debuffs.

DRAGONS OF NORRATH - (DoN) Dragons of Norrath was the 9th expansion of EverQuest.

DRAKKIN - This is an NPC / MoB Race. It is also a Player race that originates out of Crescent Reach.

If your Character is "thirsty," they will never die from dehydration.... however, after a time of being thirsty, they will reach a point where they will no longer Regenerate (Hit Points, Mana, Endurance), be able to Jump (Space Bar), and can even see reductions in STR, AGI & DEX. Stat Drinks (See Stat Food & Drink), Alcoholic Drinks and Regular Drinks often have a Drink 'type' (noted in the Item Window), that relate to how long they can keep you from being thirsty again (in Real Time). They are: Whistle Wetter (up to 5 minutes); Drink (up to 20 minutes); Refreshing (up to 30 Minutes); Lasting (up to 40 minutes); Flowing (up to 50 minutes); Enduring (up to 60 minutes) & Miraculous (up to 240 minutes). These durations can also be affected by Alternate Advancement and other factors. Your Character will automatically consume the first Drink item in your inventory. If you want to limit the consumption of Stat Drinks, you need to purposely consume other Drinks on a regular basis, or swap out what Drinks are first in your bags (using the Stat Drinks only when you really need them).

DROP - (Dropped) This term is primarily in reference to loot. MOB's are said to "drop" loot, as in, "All it dropped was a tradeskill item."

DRUZZIL RO - An EQ server. See here for Server details. Druzzil Ro is an EQ Deity (Demi-God) and is considered to be a Neutral Deity. She is the Matron of Art and also known as the Goddess of Magic. She makes her home in the Plane of Magic (a zone that has only appeared in EverQuest II). She had taught the 'ungod' Zebuxoruk to seek and share knowledge, but only if it did not affect the fate of others. Thus, she reweaved the fabric of time to undo his freedom so that events in the Planes of Power, technically, never happened. This action lead to the destruction of Norrath by the minions of Discord. However, it was Zebuxoruk with the help of Norrathians, who were able to also reverse the efforts of Discord and restore order to the Universe (Seeds of Destruction). Druzzil Ro also created herself a daughter, the Demi-God Ayonae Ro (see Ayonae Ro), and split off a portion of the Plane of Magic into the Plane of Music (Theater of Blood, Deathknell... Seeds of Destruction), for Ayonae Ro to rule over.

DUBIOUS - Dubious refers to (1) of the (9) possible levels of Faction (Scowls --> Threatening --> Dubious --> Apprehensive --> Indifferent --> Amiable --> Kindly --> Warmly --> Ally). When you kill most MOB's, you will see Faction Hits that add or detract from your Faction with one Faction or another. You can see your Faction Levels with most (but not all) Factions in the Faction Window (EQ Button --> Character --> Faction Standing). At this level of faction you are border line Kill on Sight. Vendors may not deal with you anymore and tell you get lost. However, some Quest NPC's may still offer you their Quests at this level (i.e. low level repeatable Quests).

DUEL - This is a reference to doing Battle with another Player. This can be done in zones that allow Player Versus Player Combat (see PvP) or in special areas that are automatically PvP (like an Arena). However, this term is normally about targeting another Player using the using the /duel command to challenge that Player to battle (which the other player must accept, otherwise there will be no Duel). Players can then fight each other to the death, or flee (zone). If they flee, a zone wide message about their cowardice can be seen by everyone in the zone where the duel took place (not the zone they fled to). Players do not lose experience when they die in combat with another player (unless they are killed by a DoT).

DUPE - In EQ, while this can mean to deceive or fool someone, it normally means Duplicate (see Duplicate).

DUPLICATE - This is a reference to more than one. More often than not, it is used when referring to reward items... from things like the Heritage Crates that are often sold in the Marketplace. A Player may get multiples of the same item(s) and have "dupes" to trade or sell.

Once Players leave the zone (or the Zone expires), the zone ceases to exist. You can see these timers with the keyboard command Alt Z. Some Dynamic Zones, once adventured into and / or defeated, often impose a Lock Out Timer before you can participate in the event again.

Emotes can be -- and are -- very important... so don't ignore them completely. They are the basis for Audio Triggers (and external programs like GINA).

If the MoB is not defeated, it will go out of 'encounter lock' after a time so that another Player can attack it. MoB's that are currently encounter locked will show their name in green (you can attack it) or gray (you are not allowed to attack it). An encounter locked Player can use the /yell command... while targeting a MoB they are encounter locked to... to temporarily allow other Players to attack the MoB as well.

EVERQUEST II - (EQ2, EQII, EverQuest 2) - This is one of the games offered by Daybreak Games. EverQuest II is a spin-off alternate version of EverQuest (same basic lore, Deities, etc.), that was rumored to have been originally created as an answer to World of Warcraft. While EQII had many innovations, many of which have since made their way into EQ1, it has never been as popular as the original game. The Short Name for this game is EQ2 (for tells). It is one of the games you can play with an All Access Account.

EVERQUEST DIRECTORY - (EQ Directory, EQ Folder) This is a reference to a specific area on your computer where the files for EverQuest are located. As in, "The screenshots you take are saved in the 'Screenshots' folder in your EQ Directory.' This 'folder' and it's related 'sub-folders' can be in more than one place on your computer, depending on when you originally installed the game, or if you chose to select where you wanted to install the game. In any case, knowing where your EverQuest Directory is on your computer is very important, as sometimes manual manipulation / updating is required (i.e. installing new Maps).

EVERQUEST HALL OF FAME - See EverQuest Legends.

EVERQUEST INSTANT MESSENGER - See EQIM.

EVERQUEST LEGENDS - (EQL) This EQ service / offering was an EQ Server (February 2002). The related EQ server was called 'Stormhammer.' See here for Server details. It was an enhancement to EQ that increased your monthly subscription cost to $39.95. It was limited to 8,000 Players and shut down February 2006. Characters had their own web pages (stats, etc.); there were "Legendary" items to be discovered and often named for the Player who discovered them; it had an early version of the in-game Calendar (/cale); it had an early version of in-game maps (M); the first Guild Halls; had Player-written 'Tales of Adventure' that were sometimes added to and displayed in the game (not sure how); and supposedly, active and regular Dev interaction / participation. It even had an 'EverQuest Hall of Fame,' even though it was really little more than an early Achievement-like system (Players who earned titles, etc.). Many of these things have made their way into the actual standard / live game. One Dev post suggests there were over '5,000 possible Titles.'

EVERQUEST LOG - (EQ Log, Log, Logging) See Log.

EVERQUEST ONLINE ADVENTURES - (EQOA) This was a PlayStation 2 version of EverQuest game released in 200, and quickly followed by EverQuest Online Adventures: Frontiers. EQOA was shut down March 29, 2012.

EVERQUEST WIKI - (The EverQuest Wiki, EQ Wiki, Fandom, Wikia) EverQuest Wiki is a free site (you can register if you want to) operated by Fandom (formerly Wikia), which hosts a number of Player Driven Wiki type platforms. They also have other sites related to things like Movies and TV shows. Players can look up game information on this site (faction lore, classes, races, tradeskills, zones, expansion...), even though it does not appear to up to date or necessarily complete with information (at least, as of this typing in May 2023). This 'Wiki' site was referred to as the 'official' wiki for EverQuest, back when EQ was ran by Sony (March 2013)... and the web site still carries that label.

EVERQUEST WORLDS - (EQ Worlds, EQW) EverQuest Worlds was a free phone app version of EverQuest, released in August of 2013 and shut down in March of 2016.

EVOCATION - Evocation is a category / skill in Magic, that relates to using magic in an offensive manner, such as with DoT's, Nukes and the like. Some classes also get a supportive skill called Specialize Evocation.

EVOKER - This is a Level 65 to 69 Wizard. See Wizard.

EVOLVE - See Evolving items.

EVOLVING ITEMS - This is a reference to items (Gear), that can evolve into better versions of itself. These items primarily gain experience from Combat (when you get experience, so can the item, except in the Raid environment). Some get experience in other ways, such as above-Trivial Tradeskill combines (as with Tradeskill Trophies). Such items normally have at least two higher Levels they can Evolve into (once they reach 100% in Item Experience, they automatically Evolve). See Item Experience.

EVOLVING RULESET - This type of server provides 'evolving' (bonus) experience when certain Expansions 'unlock.' Example, if the server starts with EverQuest, when the Ruins of Kunark 'unlocks,' experience is boosted to 125%, and so on.

EXCELLENT - This is a worded rating you can see in relation to certain Skills (in your Skills Window, EQ Button -> Character -> Skills). This category is generally for Skill Levels from 91 to 99.

EXEMPLAR - A Level 85-plus Cleric. See Cleric.

EXPANSION - This is a term related to a collective set of new game content that adds to the virtual world that is EverQuest (Zones, Quests, Gear, Collects, Raids, Missions, etc.)... which is all released / sold as a part of topical game add-on. Expansions, these days, are released and sold once a year (normally around December). Unless an Expansions is purchased, your Account (Characters) will not have access to much of the new content (i.e. Zones). All new Expansions include all previous Expansions, should you not have some of the previous Expansions. Expansions are, normally, also sold in different versions at different prices (that include Bonus items that are only available as part of the package).

EXPANSION ZERO - (Expansion O, The Original Game, TOG) - See EverQuest.

EXPANSION WIDE RARE - (Expansion Rare) See Chase Loot.

EXPEDIENT DELIVERY VOUCHER - This is a type of alternative currency. It is earned purchased via the Marketplace and can be used, two (2) at a time, to have Bazaar purchase delivered immediately / directly to your Character's inventory (where ever you happen to be).

EXPEDITION - An Expedition is an Instanced Zone that is normally a Raid, but can also be a Group Expedition. Expeditions (Alt Z) are not the same category as a Mission (Alt Q).

EXPEDITION WINDOW

EXPERIENCE - This is an overall term that generally refers to Character (Regular) Experience (versus MOB's, from Quests, from Achievements, from Overseer and so forth. There are also other types of Experience to include Mercenary, Overseer, Alternate Advancement... and even for Evolving Items (Item Experience).

EXPERIENCE ADJUSTED - This is my term related to TLP's, that means experience is adjusted / modified in some way (more, less, progressive).

EXPERIENCE LOSS - This is a reference to losing Character Experience. The only kind of Experience a Character can lose, is Character Experience aka Regular Experience (as it relates to Levels). The only way a Character cam lose this Experience is by way of dying. Upon death (with little exception), a Character will lose a certain amount of Experience. This total loss can vary by Level. Basically, a Character loses a certain percentage of Experience related to the total experience of that Characters previous Level. Example, a Level 115 Character will lose a percentage of Experience related to the total Experience needed to progress past Level 114. The percentage you lose is not known to me at this time, but I believe it to be in the range of 5% to 10%. See Experience.

EXPERIMENT - This is the label of a button in a tradeskill window (like an Oven) that allows you to try combines by hand. In effect, experiment with combinations to see if they work. If you succeed, the new recipe is added to your known recipes. So, if a certain recipe is not found with the search feature, you will have to accomplish the combine in this manner, until you succeed with that combine (just once), to "learn" the recipe. You can even play around with combines and discover recipes, yourself, especially when new things are added to the game (combine attempts for a recipe that doesn't exist will not result in lost items... they just simply will not combine). As a note, while most all recipes can be looked up on-line... Devs have said in the past that not all recipes have been discovered.

EXPERT - This is a worded rating you can see in relation to certain Skills (in your Skills Window, EQ Button -> Character -> Skills). While EQ is inconsistent with this "rating," it is generally for a Skill Levels of 250 (you gain the "Expert" title with a skill level of 250). Before this title came to be, players often referred to this level as "Grandmaster."

EXPERT ARTISAN - This is a Title reference to attaining a Skill Level of 250 in all Tradeskills.

EXPLOIT - Exploit is a term related to taking advantage of ("exploiting") certain things in EverQuest within the confines of normal game play (not to include the use of Cheat Programs). This is particularly related to a GM / Dev oversight, a Bug and / or otherwise Unintended Game Play. It can also be with Unattended Game Play. In both situations, it is considered a form of Cheating. While Players primarily see it as strategy, Devs can often see it as a loophole they did not intend; a Bug; and sometimes, even Cheating. Often, when Devs catch wind of such things, they simply do a Hot Fix and remedy the problem. Or they fix it in the next Patch. In rare cases, Devs have been known to do Roll Backs to address the issue. Less commonly, but possible, Dev's have levied Player Suspensions / Bans for purposely taking advantage of (exploiting) something that the Dev's think should have easily been recognized as an unintended situation. For example, there was once a bug that allowed duplication of Platinum. I don't know how it worked, but seemingly Players were able to do something, in-game (no Cheat Programs) that somehow duplicated Platinum... something any Player should recognize as a Bug and that they should not Exploit!

EXPLORE MODE - In the early days of EverQuest, when logging in, it appears that the Character Select screen allowed the Character to move about ('explore') and 'zone' into the game by, say, crossing a bridge or going under an archway. It appears that there were different 'explore' screen or 'character select zones' based on your Characters Class and / or alignment.

EXTENDED TARGET - (XTar, X Target) - This is a reference to a window in EverQuest that you can choose to see, or not. The Window lists as many as twenty (20) targets, to included  NPC's Players and whatever targets you want to put on it. The window default is to show only targets that are aggro on your Character, your Group and / or your Raid. As a note, aggro targets will show in the extended target window in the same order for everyone in your group and raid. However, you can right click on any row and set any one (1) of the 20 (20) slots to show a myriad of your choice of pre-set target selections: Empty Target - Blank. Auto - Default setting... aggro MoB's auto populate. Current Target - Any MoB / NPC / Player you currently have targeted (Ctrl U). Group Tank - The Player assigned as the Main Tank for your group (via group roles). Group Tank's Target - The current target of the groups Main Tank.

Group Mark Target 2- Shows the 'target' marked as the 2nd target by the Player assigned (via group roles) to mark targets in a kill sequence (1, 2, 3). Group Mark Target 3 - Shows the 'target' marked as the 3rd target by the Player assigned (via group roles) to mark targets in a kill sequence (1, 2, 3). Raid Assist 1 Raid Assist 2 Raid Assist 3 Raid Mark Target 1 - Shows the 'target' marked as the 1st target by the Player assigned (via raid roles) to mark targets in a kill sequence (1, 2, 3). Raid Mark Target 2 - Shows the 'target' marked as the 2nd target by the Player assigned (via raid roles) to mark targets in a kill sequence (1, 2, 3). Raid Mark Target 3 - Shows the 'target' marked as the 3rd target by the Player assigned (via raid roles) to mark targets in a kill sequence (1, 2, 3). My Pet - Shows your pet, if you have one up. My Pet's Target - Shows whatever your Pet currently has targeted. My Mercenary - If you have a mercenary out,  this shows your mercenary. As a note, you can see you Merc in your Group anyway, so this one is redundant (don't waste a target slot). My Mercenary's Target - If you have a mercenary out,  this shows whatever your mercenary currently has targeted. Auto Add Hater Targets - Default setting. It will show whatever is on aggro to you, your group or your raid. Always keep this selected. Unselect this and MoB's attacking you, your group and / or your raid will not show up in your extended target window. Mana Display - This will show the mana bar for Players and Mercs, if any are set to show in the extended target window. If you are having lag issues, you can unselect this so that mana does not show, as an effort to reduce lag. Endurance Display-  This will show the endurance bar for Players and Mercs, if any are set to show in the extended target window. If you are having lag issues, you can unselect this so that endurance does not show, as an effort to reduce lag. Show Player Aggro Percent- This will show the aggro percentage for Players and Mercs, if any are set to show in the extended target window. If you are having lag issues, you can unselect this so that aggro percentages do not show, as an effort to reduce lag. Save Load target sets - You can save you extended target window set-up and reload it later. Example, for a certain mission, instanced zone, your fellowship, raid events, etc. -- you can save your extended target set-ups and re-load them later rather than having to set them back up the next time. You can save up to 30 Target Sets.

EXTRA LIFE - Extra Life is an annual Charity Drive, participated in by Darkpaw. Sometimes, Players are often awarded in-game items (claim codes) for donations (of certain amounts). Sometimes, if enough donations are made, in-game bonuses (bonus experience, bonus loot, bonus faction, bonus rare spawns, etc.) are also be activated for a certain duration, during a pre-cited date span.

In some cases, the Familiar can also provide a buff and in more rare cases, provide a very small assist in battle (such as spitting poison at your enemy). While you can have multiple items that can cast up a Familiar, which you can store on your Familiar Key Ring (click the 'Key Ring' button in your inventory window), you can only have one (1) Familiar active at a time.

FAMILIAR KEY RING - See Familiar.

FAMILY GUILD - While many Guilds may tout themselves as a 'Family Guild,' there really is no such thing in EverQuest. A Guild is a Guild. While EverQuest itself carries an ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) rating of 'Teen' (meaning it's generally suitable for ages 13 and up), what Players mean by this term is that conduct within the Guild itself is 'family friendly' (no foul / abusive language, helpful to members, no trolling...). However, this does not mean a Players experience 'outside' of the Guild will be 'family friendly.'

FAN FAIRE - (Sony Fan Faire, Sony Live, SOE Live) The Fan Faire was an annual event held each year. It appears to have started in 2005 and was later renamed as 'SOE Live' in 2012. The event has not been held since 2014 (SOE sold EverQuest in 2015). As a note, it was not limited to only EverQuest, it included most SOE on-line games. There were even free items to include retail box games, posters, knick-knacks and, yes, sometimes claim codes. Players who purchased tickets were often awarded free items, in game, via the claim window. However, in 2024, Fippy Fest happened, as a virtual form of a Fan Faire event. The Fan Faire had many elements to it, to include the Devs, Topical Panels, live Quests and more.

More often than not, such a player is of a level far above the MOB's and are simply killing them to obtain items dropped by the MOb's in question.

FARM STATUS - This phrase is generally in reference to Raid events, meaning that a Guild (or raid force) have a certain raid event figured out and beat it on a regular basis (if not every time), and thus, 'farming' the raid loot that comes from it.

FAT FINGERED - It is nor unusual to see this cited as a reason for typos / bad spelling. Basically it means the Player 'fat fingered' the letters on their keyboard, resulting in typos.

FAVORITE RECIPES - These are recipes that you have purposely chosen to 'Add' (or save) as a 'favorite' recipe. Such as a recipe you use often, so you don't have to search it up each time. At the bottom of each tradeskill device type, are three (3) buttons (see arrow in image below), to 'Add,' or 'Remove' a recipe from your favorite recipes, or to 'show' (list) your favorite recipes. When you open a tradeskill device, your favorite recipes automatically populate and in the recipe list (see #1 in image, below). To add a recipe to your favorites, you have to have learned (known) the recipe. Search up the recipe (in the recipe list) and highlight it, then click the 'Add' button. To remove a recipe from your favorites, highlight the recipe (in the recipe list) and click the 'Remove' button. The 'Show' button resets you recipe list back to your favorites, if you have changed (searched) away from it. These favorite recipes only apply to the skill that the device is used for. However, reportedly, you can only favorite about five-hundred (500) total recipes across ALL tradeskill devices, so be practical in what you decide to favorite in each device type.

There are several types of Find, but they all function the same way... to search, or find something.

GAME LORE - See Lore.

GAME MASTER - (GM, Dev) - See also: Developer. At one time, Guides were pseudo-GM's. There are still GM's that can appear in-game and address Player petitions. Such GM's are DB employees, but they are not necessarily Devs. In short, there is a difference between a Guide, a GM and a Dev. GM's have a higher level of ability than Guides, in order to resolve issues related to Petitions.

GAME TIME - See EQ Time.

GATE - Even though there is a spell of this name, this term is generally often used as a variant term for teleportation... as in 'opening a Gate' to somewhere else. It is also a generic reference to large doorways, often seen in many EQ Zones.

GATES OF DISCORD - (GoD) Gates of Discord was the 7th expansion of EverQuest.

GEAR - See Armor.

GEERLOK - While 'Geerlok' is a surname for a number of Gnomes, this term is primarily used in reference to "Geerlok" tools, that can modify your skill ability by 5%. There is one for each skill and they are made by players (tinkering). These must be equipped to work, but actual trade skill trophies are the better alternative.

It uses an automated spoken Voice that Players can hear, as well as splashing Text on a Player's Screen. It works by reading a Player's Log (/log on). The emotes are triggered by what appears in Player Log's. However, what GINA does is determined by what Players 'program' GINA to do (i.e., for Emote X, do 'Y'). Fortunately, Players can share their GINA files (trigger sets) with other Players, so long as the other Players also have GINA set-up and running.

Example, there is a common "graphics" glitch where everything seems to white out and then slowly fills in the graphics, particularly just as you enter a zone. Such an issue can be computer related (graphics card, memory...), more so than EQ related (server load, etc.). It is often misused by Players, as well, blaming their failed efforts on a glitch, rather than their approach / strategy, or a lag issue (see Lag).

GLOBAL - This term is normally applied to loot drops, as in they are 'global drops' -- as in they can drop in all most any expansion and all most any MoB.

GROUP - This is a banding together of (2) to (6) Players and / or Mercenaries, for the purpose of adventuring together. This is the root / core way to adventure in EQ, with friends.

They even have their own Private EQ Zone (Sunset Home). These days, however, Guides are few and far between and rarely seen. However, they do sometimes activate and run special events (see Festival of Might). This is also a reference to walk-through for things like Quests (see Walk Through).

GUIDE EVENT - A short lived singular Event that is operated (or activated) by Guides. See here for more details.

GUILD - Guilds are Player Created "organizations," comprised of Players who have "banned together," for supportive reasons.

GUILD LEADER - A Guild Leader is the head honcho of a Guild. They have the overall power to control the Guild, Guild Banker, Tribute and even Guild Hall (in Sunset Hills) settings. They can promote and demote Guild Members to certain ranks, which allow them certain elevated Guild-related duties or abilities based on the setting decided by the Guild Leader (such as being able to Invite or Remove Guild Members, etc.). It is possible for a Guild to have more than one Leader, with GM intervention.

It was where one Guild could go to war with another Guild (by way of both Guild Leaders using the command /guildwar <guildleader> ##), where the leader of the Guild was named, followed by a number that representing how long the war would last (1 to 14 days). Essentially it was a like a mass /duel... where members of each Guild could attack members of the other Guild (with certain limitations). The Guilds could also end a Guild War early, with both leaders using the the command /guildpeace <guildleader>. These days, there is a way that this can still be done... such as two guilds agreeing to meet in an Area and battle it out... or two Guilds going full on PvP.

That button can then be clicked to activate that item. The same can be done with any of your Socials (Control O), Abilities (Control A). Combat Page (Control C), Combat Skills (Alt C) and so on. Having Hot Bar's, on screen, is essential to game play, as it puts a myriad of actions just a click away, rather than having to go searching for them. It is advisable to set up the Hot Bars strategically on your screen and leave them in the same place. It is also advisable to strategically arrange Hot buttons on those Hot Bars, and leave them on the same Hot Bars in the same slots.

KING LOOT - This is a term to indicate that only one (1) designated player will loot MOB's for the entire group. To do this, the player turns off split and loots all the MOB's coin and vendor loot.

Desirable items, however, are normally awarded to one of the players, in some fashion.

KITE - (Kiting) This is reference to a method of fighting, killing and / or 'controlling' MOB's, but only works if the MoB's do not summon and the kiting Player maintains aggro. Example, a Druid can snare a MOB, then DoT the MOB and then run around while the MOB chases / follows the Druid while it slowly dies from the DoT. The Druid never has to go one-on-one with the MOB, normally. So -- the Druid sort of runs the MOB around like you might do with a Kite, when flying it -- and thus, the term. This same method (aggro and run) can also be used to run MoB's around to keep it off the group / raid until the group / raid is ready to fight it.

KRONO - Krono is sold via the Marketplace and is fully tradeable. It can be claimed (clicked) to pay for a month of All Access EverQuest. It is more expensive to buy that simply paying for EverQuest outright, if you buy it directly from Daybreak. You can also acquire it from other Players, in game, by way of trades (for Platinum, Items, etc.), as will be noted here. Krono has evolved into an alternative currency. Krono is commonly used by Players in trades and transactions for items and Platinum, particularly when the 2 Million Platinum limit in Bazaar is lower than the desired price in noted transactions. Free To Play Players can often buy Krono from other Players for Platinum, to pay for and keep their account(s) All Access, even if they do not directly pay for EverQuest... at all. However, this does mean that a lot of time and effort must go into farming for Platinum. Meanwhile, Players can sell Krono to acquire Platinum, when funds are low. If you buy Krono from Daybreak, the most expensive option is actually to buy them one (1) at a time, while the 'cheapest' option is to buy them two (2) at a time (they do not get any cheaper if you buy 5, 10 or 25 of them... in fact, if you do the math, they sometimes actually get a tiny bit more expensive). Example if you buy a set of ten (10), you actually pay about 4-cents more than if you bought five (5) sets of two (2), instead.

KS - See Kill Steal.

L

LAA - See Leadership Alternate Advancement.

LAG - Lag is a reference to when EverQuest pauses and hesitates. It is sort of  sync issue where your computer is not exactly on the same pace as the EQ Server. For instance, you may be in a group that has just killed a MOB, but on your screen, that MOB is still at 20% Health and isn't dead yet. Another example is when you try to move and the screen moves in a jerky motion, like seeing a movie one frame click at a time. Other examples might be when you type a chat message and it doesn't show up right away; or you move forward and suddenly you have warped back to where you were; or you click buttons or cast spells and they don't seem to cast or click... then suddenly they do... and so on. Lag is not 100% an issue with EverQuest / DayBreak, itself. It can be due to the load on your computer (how much memory your computer has, graphics card quality, too many other programs running at the same time, using older software, updates may be needed, Windows Update installing updates in the background...) and other similar issues. It can also have to with the load on your ISP / area, weather and your Internet Speed. Yes, it can also have to do with EQ / Daybreak itself, as events / zones can 100% get lagged out due to so many Players and / or so many spells, pets, effects going off and such (this is known to happen very often with Zlandicar, to the point that Players simply utilized it as part of their strategy). It can also have to do with your in-game display and other settings (logs on, showing all names, showing all graphics, etc.). In short, lag is simply a fact of life with on-line gaming. There are some things you can do to reduce it, but you are not going to get rid of it 100%.

After a successful combine of a new recipe, you "learn" the recipe and it is then saved to the combine device as a "known" recipe. Recipes can also be learned as part of a Quest or from scribing books. Many basic recipes are 'known' by default.

LoN included quests, challenges, "Loot Cards' (not sold Marketplace) that could be claimed for an actual in-game item; Tournaments and so forth.
