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!

RAMPAGE - (Ramp) Rampage is a special attack by MOB's, where they can attack someone (the next person on the aggro list) in addition to the MT. This is why you may hear an "RT" (Ramp Tank) often designated. 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.

Sometimes, Dev's can do this on purpose, to either penalize Players (such as if they used an exploit to acquire things they should not have acquired, for example) or to help Players (such as when a glitch causes a Players items to poof into limbo, and the roll back will give them back).

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.

STRATEGY - This is your approach to defeating content in EQ. Methods and processes (figuring it out) you use to defeat MOB's, Missions, Raids and so forth. However, there is sometimes a fine line between "Strategy" and an Exploit (see Exploit), particularly when you happen upon a situation that you know should clearly not happen / exist... such as a bug / Dev Oversight. So strategizing is a huge and necessary part of EQ! It adds the fun / challenge of "figuring it out" to the game. However, be wary of stepping over the line from Strategy to Exploit.

You can remove your Characters surname by simply using the /surname command by itself.

SUNRISE HILLS - This is reference to a unique zone. Sunrise Hills is an instanced zone, that hosts Player Houses and Guild Halls. All instances of this zone are use the exact same lay-out (map), but they can look different due to Player placed homes, halls and items.

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.

Once a task is locked, you can no longer Task Add Players (you can remove Players, however, but they will not be able to get back in).

TASK STEP - Most Tasks and Missions show a list of visible or hidden goals, aka 'Steps,' for the Task / Mission.

If your skill is not at least equal to that trivial skill level, your chances of failing to make the items is escalated.

TRIVIAL LOOT CODE - This is a reference to EverQuest code that refers to loot settings related to Player Levels versus MoB Level. The code makes it so that certain loot items do NOT drop when the Player 'outclasses' the MoB to the extent that the MoB is a 'trivial' battle.

UBAH - (Uber) Despite this word having real world definitions (i.e. Flower), it is actually a play on the pronunciation of the word "Uber," which basically means supreme, outstanding or super. More often than not, this term is used with humorous sarcasm, in reference old school items that were once in great demand, but are now essentially of no value at all. 'That Rusty Sword is so ubah!'

UI - See User Interface.

ULTRA RARE - See Chase Loot.

ULTRAVISION - This is a magical effect / spell that improves your night vision (ability to see in the dark).

ULTRON'S ULTIMATE UNATTUNER - Attunable items, that have been 'Attuned' and thus made No Trade, can individually be combined inside Ultron's Ultimate Unattuner (sold by Loyalty Vendors, and the Overseer vendor... a mysterious presence), to make them Attunable and Tradable again. The X can only be used one and is consumed in the process.

UNATTENDED GAME PLAY - This is a reference to doing things in EverQuest, when you are not at least in the general vicinity of your computer (it is against the rules, see Exploit and / or Cheat). Example, going to a zone / spot, pulling out a Merc, turning on Advanced Loot, taking your Pet off Hold and then going AFK and allowing your Character to kill and farm drops on it's own by way of automatic game mechanics. If you are at the keyboard and monitoring this process, it is allowed. Dev's (Piestro) have, however, said that swimming into a corner underwater, with auto-run on, to skill up Swimming, is OK.

UNINTENDED GAME PLAY - This is a reference to doing things in EverQuest, that were not intended to be possible (it is against the rules, see Exploit and / or Cheat).

This has been known to happen with MOB's that summon (they summon you to them and you end up in a wall or something that they were standing at). There is at least one zone I know of, where if you are shrunk, levitated and trying to skirt around MOB's high up on a wall, you can actually slip through the zone barrier and get stuck along the edge of the zone (you can move back and forth along the edge and nothing more). In most cases, this can be remedied by the Player using a command like /rewind, or teleporting out.

UNDERWATER ZONE - A reference to any zone that is fully or primarily underwater, such as the Reef of Coirnav.

UNATTENDED GAME PLAY - See Exploit. An in-game 'by-pass' (exploit) that was not intended, when added to the game. Players, if they discover such things, should report them, not take advantage of them. Taking advantage of them can result in punitive action (i.e. roll backs, suspensions, bans...).

UNDER THE WORLD - This is a term used by Players to describe a glitch where they end up below ground level of a zone. When this happens, looking up one can see the grass and trees and whatever is actually on the surface of the zone. Players may, or may not, be able to move. In order to resolve this bug, Players will need a mage to Call of the Hero them, use the /rewind command and / or camp and come back.

Specialized UI's are Player created and they modify how existing windows look (color, size, etc.) and / or what they actually show.

USER NAME - (Account Name) - Just what it means in the real world. Accessing EverQuest and your Daybreak account requires your User Name and Password. Never ever give this out or use it openly / publicly! If you do, you seriously risk fraud / hacking! Don't do it!

USURP - This means taking over leadership of a Guild, using the command /usurp, that was added to the game in May 2020. Certain conditions apply, to include the current Guild Leader having been inactive for at least 1 year, or there is no actual Guild Leader. The Character using this command must also be in the Guild (obviously) and hold the rank of Senior Officer. If successful, the Character will be made Leader of the Guild.

UTILITY PROGRAM - External, non-EQ, non-Daybreak Programs that are used to assist you while Playing EverQuest are often referred to as Utility Programs. Example, many Players use a voice Chat Program so they can actually talk to each other, rather than type. Some use a program for DPS / Heal 'parses.' And so on. Some Programs are taboo and are 100% considered Cheating (See Cheat), so be wary about using Programs that allow you to do things you could not otherwise do on your own.
