The EverQuest Dictionary, Compendium, Encyclopedia & Repository of Words, Terms, Lore, Phrases, 'Secrets' & Other Tidbits.

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

>>>>BY IT'S VERY NATURE... THIS PAGE IS CONSTANTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION & REVISION... BUT IT IS READY TO USE!<<<<

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! From 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. A "Slang-A-Pedia!"

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!

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

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 LIST - Normally, this term is sued to refer to MOB's and the Players that are "on aggro" with that MOB. 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. Essentially, if the MT dies, the MOB will then attack the next Character on their "Hate List" (the one with the most amount of Hate).

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 or another. You can see your Faction Levels with most (but not all) Factions in the Faction Window (EQ Button ---> Character --> Faction Standing). This is the maximum level of Faction you can acquire. It is required for certain tasks & quests, but not many.

ALTERNATE - 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, as well (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 about 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 change your experience settings to primarily go towards AA, rather than Character Experience. When you earn an AA in game, the message you see will call then a 'Ability Point.'

ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENT EXPERIENCE - This is a reference to Experience that is applied / goes toward you Alternate Advancement, to earn AA Points (see Alternate Advancement Points). Alternate Advancement Experience is earned at the sacrifice / 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 most XP goes into getting those Levels. 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.

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.

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, there are (2) types of Alternative Currency... commonly referred to as "Group Currency" or as "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, it appears (when not in combat). This level of Faction is often required in order for some, but not all, quest NPC's to talk / cooperate with you.

AMMO - Ammo is slang / short for Ammunition. Ranged attacks require ammo to, be it via archery (arrows) or for 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 certain non-ammo items that you can put in these slots, instead (such as a Tradeskill Trophies, when doing combines).

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

ANT

ANTONIUS BAYLE - Antonius Bayle is the name of the European EQ Live Server, named for the NPC Lord Antonius Bayle, who can be encountered in Oceangreen Hills (SoD). The in-game Short Name for Tells is: Antonius (i.e. /tell antonious.Bonzz Hello!). 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 (yes, 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 and the fourth Antonious Bayle, who took over leadership and has been known as a good leader, despite the efforts of his brother Kane, who hates him.

DRAGON

DRAGON BREATH

DRAGON KILL POINTS - Not to be confused with Raid Rules, Dragon Kill Points (DKP) is a non-EQ 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, that 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... because 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 stirrer! 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.

DRINK - This is a generic reference to the many types of drink items in EQ. Characters must have drink (to drink) in order to perform at peak abilities. 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."

She makes her home in the Plane of Magic (a zone that, as of this typing, 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 was 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), for Ayonae Ro to rule over. Druzzil Ro was also an EQ Server at one time. It was merged into the Xegony server., for which the Short Name was Druzzil.

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.

These are temporary (not Static) Zones, that only exist when they are 'spun up' by way of Player Activity (starting a raid, a mission, a Pick Zone, etc.). 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 very important... so don't ignore them completely. The are the basis for Audio Triggers (and external programs like GINA). They are absolutely essential in the Raid environment, as most Raids involve attacks, effects, adds and all sorts of variations thereof, that Players must be aware of and / or react to expediently (otherwise, they can die and / or wipe raids).

	EQ MAIL (MAIN WINDOW) (#1) You can select to see the EQ Mail of any Character on your Account using this drop-down menu (#2, click the arrow). It does not matter which Character you are currently playing. (#3) The 'Quill' icon will open your Address Book (outlined below), while the 'Nut' icon (#4) will open your Mail Options (see above). (#5) This tab, 'Inbox,' is your main EQ Mail Window. From here you can chose to 'Compose' (#6) an EQ Mail; 'Delete' (#7) and EQ Mail in your list (highlight the EQ Mail and then click 'Delete'); 'Reply' (#8) or 'Reply All' (#9) to an EQ Mail you have received (highlight the EQ Mail and then click 'Reply' or 'Reply All'); 'Forward' (#10) an EQ Mail you got to others (highlight the EQ Mail and then click 'Forward'); 'Export' (#11) EQ Mail which will save it to your computer in the Directory you have set in your EQ Mail Options (highlight the EQ Mail and then click 'Export'); and you can 'Report' (#12) EQ Mail to Customer Service if you feel the need to do so (highlight the EQ Mail and then click 'Report').

You can also create your own 'Mailing Lists,' that are either for just one Character, or a whole list of Characters. For example, you may want to create a list for the members of your Fellowship.

You can then choose if you want the mailing list to be 'Private' (#3) or not, by selecting / clicking the Box. This means that when you send an EQ Mail to this group of Characters they will either not see who else you sent it to ('Private'), or they will. Next, in the 'Addresses' Box (#4), you can type in what Characters you want to add as members of this Mailing List. You will need to include the server shortcut name and Character name, even for Characters that are on your same server. Type in one (1) per line. In the 'Note' Box (#5), you can type in whatever you want, to remind you of why you created this Mailing List and / or it's purpose. Once done, you can then click the 'New' Button (#8) to create and add this new Mailing List to your Mailing List Window on the left (#1).

Lastly, if there are Players / Characters, for whatever reason, you do not want EQ Mail from, you can click the 'Ignore' Button (#9), to bring up yet another window. See below.
	EQ MAIL IGNORE LIST Hitting the 'Ignore' Button in your EQ Mail Address Book Window (see above) will bring up this window. As before (see above), you can create a Group of Mail Addresses and add that group to the left Window (#1). Just Name the Group (#2); chose to make it 'Private' (#3) or not; add Character Addresses in the Addresses Box (#4) and then add any comment you see fit in the 'Note' Box (#5). Once done, click the 'New' Button (#8) to create finish. If you change your mind, you can 'Delete' (#7) the Group by highlight the Mailing List on the left (#1) and then clicking the 'Delete' Button. You can also add to or remove Characters from any Mailing List by highlighting the List and then adding to it, or removing from it, any Character Addresses and then clicking the "Modify" Button (the 'Mail To' Button (#6) will change to 'Modify' when you make any changes).

EVERQUEST LEGENDS - (EQL) This was a short lived an extra / alternate EQ Game ($39.95 / month) from 2002. Characters had their own pages (stats, etc.), there were "Legendary" items to be discovered and often named for the Player who discovered them; an early version of the in-game Calendar (/cale); an early version of in-game maps (M), and the first Guild Halls, among,. supposedly, active Dev interaction / participation in game.

EVERQUEST TOG - EverQuest: The Original Game. See EverQuest.

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.

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.

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.

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 Expansion is purchased, your Account (Characters) will not have access to much of the new content (i.e. Zones). All 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) - See EverQuest.

EXPANSION WIDE 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 (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).

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 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.

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 Skill Levels from 250 to 299.

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. 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 this, 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 taking advantage of (exploiting) something that the Dev's think should have easily been recognized as an unintended situation by Players. 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! If I recall, disciplinary action was taken against many Players for this.

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.

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.

It is possible for a Guild to have more than one Leader, with GM intervention. In short, the Guild Leader has complete control over the Guild (not the Players, but Guild-related things), but they can "delegate" certain things / abilities to other Guild Members (via various Guild Settings).

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. The reason for this, is that as you play, you will come to instinctively 'know' (learn) where a Hot Button is, to click it immediately, when needed.

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%.

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.

RAMP TANK - See Rampage Tank.

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