EQ SLANG-A-PEDIA-SAURUS

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

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!

She will give you (1) Adoption Coin for each (unclaimed) Adoptable Familiar you may have (acquired via the Marketplace). She also sells a "Random Pet Box" for (10) Adoption Coins. So, basically your are trading 10-for-1, and since the item she sells is "random," it appears you can get one that you all ready have)! However, the Coins themselves are tradable.

This 'automatic AFK' is a setting that can be turned on and off in your Options settings (Alt O).

AGGRO - (Agro, Hate) 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). 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 a 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 focus their attention (attacks) on.

AGGRO LIST - (Hate List, Aggravation List) Normally, this term is used 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).

AGNARR - Agnarr is the name of an EQ Live True Box Server, named for the NPC Agnarr the Storm Lord. The in-game Short Name for Tells is: Agnarr (i.e. /tell agnarr.Bonzz Hello!). Agnarr is also an in-game Faction. He is a Raid Boss / Raid encounter in Torden, Bastion of Thunder (PoP).

AL'KABOR- This was the name of a defunct EQ Server for Apple / Macintosh, named for the NPC Al'Kabor, who can be encountered in several zones in the HoT & TDS expansions. Al'Kabor is the NPC responsible for the research / discovery / advancement of Teleportation, particularly by way of using Wizard Spires.

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), as well as 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).

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.

ANCHORED - (Perma-Rooted, Rooted In Place) This is a reference to a MoB being set in place, where it stands. It cannot be moved.

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 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 generally 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 - 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.

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. 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.

ARADUNE - This is an EQ TLP True Box Server, named for the in-game Persona (Character) of Brad McQuaid, who was the key designer / creator of EverQuest. The in-game Short Name for Tells is: Aradune (i.e. /tell aradune.Bonzz Hello!).

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. As a note, deaths caused in Player versus Player battles do not result in loss of experience, except maybe when the death is due a Damage of Time spell.

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).

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. In fact, sometimes MOB Aura's can even move about and you need to avoid them.

This is done by targeting the Character to Follow and using the command /follow. This command can fail (you will cease to follow the other Player) when terrain features and similar cause concerns or the other Player gets too far away from you (i.e. yoou fall off a cliff, get stuck in terrain, you aren't as fast as the other Player...).

AUTO RUN - (Automatically Run) This refers to being able to hit a key (Num Lock, which you can change, if you want to) on your keyboard, that will make you Character run (or walk), and keep moving automatically, until you take an action (i.e. move backwards...) to change that.

AUTOMATION - (Automated, Auto) This is a reference things happening on their own, that normally, require Player action to activate. There are levels of Automation built in to EQ, such as Hot Buttons, Auto Fire, Auto Run and so forth... but Automation handled by outside / external Programs can get you suspended or banned (see Cheating).

Next, you need yo know the server short name that the Character is on. Lastly, you need to know the Game Short Name as well. So, to send a Tell (or EQ Mail) name from EQ1 to EQ2, it would look something like this: [t EQ2.servershortname.Bonzz Hello!. EQ Mail is sent in the same manner. NOTE: This feature was added when EQ was with Sony. The games offered then and now are different! It is not known if this still works, or works with H1Z1, Planetside 2 or DCUO. Can anyone advise?

CUT & PASTE ERROR - This is a Player term that refers to errors made by Dev's (see Developer) in creating all things EQ (zones, NPC's, quests, items, etc., etc.). The 'Cut & Paste Error' is where errors were made and appear to be the result of using "cut and paste" method to speed things up, and then forgetting to review / change the parts of what was Cut & Pasted that should have been modified. Example a set of Weapons Ornaments are created and appear to have been made with a Cut & Paste Process.

DRAGON KILL POINTS - (DKP) 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.

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.

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.

DWARF - Dwarves are an NPC / MoB race. It is also a Player race. Traditionally, Dwarves get Infravision (but this may have changed over time).

DYNAMIC ZONE - Dynamic Zone is primarily a reference to instanced zone related to expeditions (group or raid), Pick Zones (/pick) and the like. 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.

DYNAMIC ZONE ADD - See DZ Add.

DYSLEXIC - This is an actual condition many people have. It essentially means that they see and / or type letters / words in the wrong order. In EverQuest it is may sometimes cited as the reason for typos / spelling errors.

DZ ADD - This is a reference to adding Players to raid events, aka Dynamic Zones.

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). 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).

ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE RATING BOARD - (ESRB) This is the equivalent to the ratings you see for Movies. The ESRB provides ratings for video games. They also certify Games for their Privacy Practices. EverQuest is ESRB Privacy Certified and Rated 'T' for 'Teen,' with notations for 'Suggestive Themes,' 'Use of Alcohol,' 'Violence,' 'Blood and Gore,' & 'In-Game Purchases / Users Interact."

Anniversary Events are released as "Modern" and "Legacy" events. The Legacy events are related to the first 13 years of EverQuest (up through the RoF expansion), so this is, by default, the "official" definition of EQ Classic.

EQ LOG - See Log.

	EQ MAIL OPTIONS Open this window via Alt O, or use the 'Nut' Icon in the top right of your EQ Mail Window. The settings / options for your EQ Mail can be seen on the 'Mail' Tab of the Options Window that pops up (#1, in image to the left). You can chose where to save your Address Book / Mail data (#2), which, by default, is in your 'userdata' folder, in your EverQuest Directory. You can also select, or not, three (3) other options (#3): if you want a chat window notification when you get new EQ Mail; if you want a sound to play when you get EQ Mail; and / or if you want a confirmation window (Yes or No) to pop up when you delete an entry in your Address Book (just in case it is accidental).
	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 mark EQ Mail as 'Spam' (#13) or if you change you mind, mark it as 'Not Spam' (#14). However, as of this typing, it doesn't appear as if these two option work and / or actually do anything. The EQ Mail you have received will appear in the upper window (#15) and can be sorted by column (just click the column names -- 'From,' 'Subject' & 'Date') to sort them, and click again to reverse the sort). The content (message) of the EQ Mail you have received is shown in the lower section (#16). Just highlight any EQ Mail in the box above, to see it.
	EQ MAIL DELETED There is a second tab labeled "Deleted Items' (#1) in your EQ Mail's Main Window (noted above). Some options are repeated here, but there are some that are only available via this tab. You can 'Undelete' (#2) any EQ Mail and return it to your 'Inbox' (highlight the EQ Mail and then click 'Undelete'); or you can "Empty Trash' (#3)... clicking this button will permanently delete the any EQ Mails listed in the box below. You can also see what each Deleted EQ Mail says, by highlighting the EQ Mail in the upper window, and it will show in the lower window (#4).
	EQ MAIL ADDRESS BOOK In your EQ Address Book Window, you can see, add to, create and / or delete entries to your Address Book. On the left (#1) is a list of Labeled Address Groups (your 'Mailing Lists'). By default, you should see one for 'Guild' (if you are in a Guild) and 'Friends,' taken directly from your Friends list (ALT F), if you have added any Friends to your list. 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. As an example, to do so, you would type what you want to call this Mailing List in the 'Name' Box (#2) on the right side. 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). If you want to simply add one (1) Character to your Mailing List, that you correspond with on a  regular basis, just repeat the same process, Name (#2) it for the Character and include only that Character in the Address List (#4). To initiate an EQ Mail to one your Mailing Lists, simply Highlight the List on the Left (#1) and click the "Mail to" Button (#6). You can also 'Delete' (#7) existing Mailing Lists. Simply 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 will change to 'Modify' when you make any changes). 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).

EQ VOICE - See Station Voice.

EQUIP - (Equipped, Equipment, Unequip) This means to wear or wield gear and / or weapons on your Character, by placing items in the appropriate slots of your Inventory Window (I). Inversely, 'Unequip' means to take off that Gear. See also: Armor and / or Weapons.

EVERQUEST II - (EQ2, EQII) - 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 - 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 LEGENDS - (EQL) This EQ service / offering was an EQ Server. It was an enhancement to EQ, that increased your monthly subscription coat to $39.95 included.

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; and supposedly, active Dev interaction / participation. It even had an 'EverQuest Hall of Fame,' even though it was really more of an early Achievement-like system (Players who earned titles, etc.). Most of these things have made their way into the actual game, at no extra cost.

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

EVERQUEST TOG - (ToG, TOG, EQ ToG, EQ TOG) This is an initialism for EverQuest: The Original Game. See EverQuest.

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 (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.

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, The Original Game, TOG) - 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. It can also be 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 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.

EXTRA LIFE - Extra Life is an annual Charity Drive, participated in by Darkpaw. Sometimes, Players are awarded in-game items (claim codes) for donations (of certain amounts).

FAMILIAR - A Familiar, not to be confused with a Pet, is a summoned creature / object that will follow you around. Familiars are cast up from 'click' items that can be acquired in a myriad of ways. 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 they mean by the term, is that conduct within the Guild itself is 'family friendly.' 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), even though there has been talk ever since, to have one. The Fan Faire had many elements to it, to include the Devs, Topical Panels, live Quests, EverQuest artists, and more. 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.

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, 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 Plyer 'fat fingered' the letters on their keyboard, resulting in the typos. By 'fat figured,' it essentially means they didn't hit the key dead on and instead hit one of the keys around the key they intended to hit.

All other Classes, eventually, got their own version / method of escaping Aggro (if they didn't have one all ready), but not all of them involve pretending to be dead. Even though they are not "called" Feign Death, the abilities of those other classes is often referred to, in a generic manner, as Feign Death (particularly if they fall over to the ground).

FEIR'DAL - This is the true racial name for Wood Elves.

G

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.

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.

GLITCH - This term is sometimes used in the same context as 'Bug,' but is actually more of a reference to something that comes up, or happens, which may, or may not, be related to EQ itself. 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).

GLOWY - (Glowie, Sparkly,  Shiny) See Collect.

Some Players also use this term as a reference to the color Yellow (as in Yellow Con).

Currently, at the 350 Level, you get a Grandmaster related Titles.

However, with the advent of all Group Buffs now being default Rank III buffs, and with the proliferation of Players who hang out in Plane of Knowledge or the Guild Lobby just so they can get buffed while AFK, this term is fast becoming obsolete. Being Group Buffed or Raid Buffed are not necessarily different, these days.

GROUP CURRENCY - See Alternative Currency.

GROUP LEADER - (Group Leadership) A Group Leader is the Player in a Group that controls / manages the Group by way of Roles (Main Tank, Main Assist, etc.), Invites, Kicks and so forth. This is the person that initially originates (forms) a group, but the roles can be given over to any other Player in the group. Originally, the Group Leader could earn 'Group Leadership Experience' (like AA's) to advance their Group Leadership abilities, however, eventually, all of these Abilities were entitled to everyone and Group Leadership Experience (and the related AA's) were done a way with.

It is possible for a Guild to have more than one Leader, with GM intervention.

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.

Very often, Hunter go twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week... as long as Players want to keep it going. In down time, Players go AFK in a neutral zone like the Plane of Knowledge, otherwise, they actively pursue Hunter kills.

The player must also know what they had in coin before they started. At the end of the grouping -- the player will then split the looted coin with the rest of the group, via a special command (/split). If possible, looted items will be sold before the coin is split.

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. However, Krono has evolved into an alternative currency, really. 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 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 bit more expensive in the form of decimal points). 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.

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%.

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....). It is a subject of debate if Rampage will hit only one Player. However, it does seem sometimes that Rampage is more like an an AoE. However, this could potentially be due the changing of places on the aggro list. In any case, the best way try and avoid being a Rampage target is to watch aggro, 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.

There is a lot of this in EverQuest. In reality, Semantics is actually about the meaning of words, and if words are being used incorrectly, then a 'semantic change' comes into play.

It is possible to transfer Characters from one server to another (with certain conditions and by expending Marketplace funds).

SERVER CHANNEL -

SERVER MERGE - A server merge is when one EverQuest server is merged into another. When that happens, the 'old' merged server, that was merged into the other 'parent' server, ceases to exist. When servers are merged, a lot goes on. Basically, all characters, guilds, guild housing zones, housing, guild halls and so forth is merged over to the 'parent' server. However, a Character's name may get changed. If there is a Character coming over from the 'old' server, when there is all ready a Character by the same name on the 'parent' server, one of those Characters will have an 'X' added to the end of their name. Thus, 'Bonzz' would become 'Bonzzx,' for example. The rule for which Character gets renamed is: (1) The Character that has actually logged in during the most recent 60-Days; (2) If that applies to both same-name Characters, then the Character with the most Played Time (in minutes) will retain their name. The Character that has an 'X' added to their name will be 'flagged' for a free name change, using the /changename command.

It basically elevated a Free To Play Account relaxing some restrictions (two more Character slots, more chat options, extra inventory space, expanded Quest Journal allowances, ability to create a Guild and so forth). Silver Accounts are still recognized and in place, if a Player has one, but they are no longer offered (they ended in April 2014... now, it's All Access of Free To Play).

TASK - (Quest, Mission) Officially, EverQuest defines a task as, "...intended to be completed solo and usually have a reward of experience and coin. You cannot share tasks with other characters, though if two characters have tasks that require similar or identical things they can be completed at the same time." However, Players do not generally get so specific. There are Solo and Group (Shared) Tasks. The real difference between a 'Quest' and a 'Task,' is that the Task or Quest Window (see Quest Journal), where the goals of the Task / Mission, required in order to complete the Task / Mission, are revealed (see Task Step). You can only have 29 Tasks active at the same time.
