Abbreviations Guide

I've noticed a lot of people asking about abbreviations in the New Player section. I made up this short list (well, not so short anymore) to help people out. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or other abbreviations to add. Thanks!

(number) + - At least that level or higher. For instance, people will shout for a 55+ party, meaning they want people higher than level 55, and likely NOT higher than level 65
(number) + (number) - Referring to pets, the first number is the pet's current level and the second number is the pet's number of overbred levels. For instance, 65+10 would refer to a pet that is currently level 65, and has 10 overbred levels.
(number)x - Somewhere in that ten-digit level range. For instance, someone between 20 and 29 would be 2x and someone between 80 and 89 would be 8x
(number).(number) - The person is at the first number's level and the second number's percentage to the next level. For instance, someone who is 70.8 is level 70, and is 80% of the way to 71.

Saved post.

[fairysmile]

sticky ++;

[caetra]

Agro = ?

[pozaros]

Agro = ?

Mob's attention. The one who has the aggro is getting hit. (Sometimes it's good - if he's a tank, otherwise it's not).
Vote for a sticky

[caetra]

Ty, also wondering what FB and LB mean.

[ktesedale]

Added a few more things I had thought of (EW, HB, R Heal, Tp, etc.). Please let me know if there's something else you need up there or see that I'm missing.

Agro = ?

Mob's attention.

Good definition - I used it for the list.

Ty, also wondering what FB and LB mean.

I have no clue! What context were they used in? Does anyone else recognize them?

[caetra]

it was in one of the DM guides and now that I've made a DM I think they might mean Fire Ball and Lightning Bolt...

[ktesedale]

Ah, yeah, that makes sense - thanks, I'll add those, and DA - Darkness Arrow. I don't play a DM (at least not much), so I don't know all the extra terms.

[pluberus1]

What does HoT mean? and SoW? and Farming? sorry for noob questions but I gotta ask 'em...

[csquares]

What does HoT mean? and SoW? and Farming? sorry for noob questions but I gotta ask 'em...

Hot means heal over time
SoW means speed of wind?
and farming..... watch "world of offline game" lmao


and i thought evasion was know as :eva

and wouldnt it be easier to say luck and luk since those 3 keys are closer together and it still reads pretty much as the same word.

and isnt bubble used for any of the healing skills that causes the blue sphere round your char, like RPW or the pixie Hot?

[troutdogg]

WOW!

Sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky... STICKY!

Best guide on anything so far.

[dmccaugh01]

What does it mean when someone says like 7x or 2x in game? Usually see it when someone is looking for DP..

[oranda]

It means a range of levels so 7X means a range from level 70 to 80. A 7X looking for a DP would mean that the person looking is in the 70s range and expects to find a DP within that range since there are penalties if there is a great level difference between the members of a party.

[ktesedale]

Thanks guys! I added some of the ones I was missing (and I think SoW or SotW is indeed Speed of the Wind). If you see anything else that's missing, please let me know!

What does HoT mean? and SoW? and Farming? sorry for noob questions but I gotta ask 'em...

Csquares covered most of your questions, but farm is up on the list and has been for a while. And don't be embarrassed to ask questions - it's how I learned a lot of these terms in the first place.
