Common AQ Abbreviations and Acronyms

Remake of Calimehtar's & kipperkin's guides



When requesting to add items, please link to the pedia.

Introduction this guide will be focusing on more common AQ related abbreviations, acronyms & terms as not all items need to be explained here. If you see an abbreviation, acronyms or terms during a conversation and can't figure it out given the subject or can't find it here the people at the AQ Questions/Answers will likely be more then happy to help. After that if you feel it should be added feel free to post here with reason(s) and link(s) if appropriate.
General non-AQ related abbreviations can also be found at Common Forum/IRC abbreviations though some crossover on my part may occur.

How to Use It
Hit Ctrl+F if you're using a Windows OS (operating system) and Internet Explorer or Firefox. It might also work in other situations. If not, look through the Edit menu for something like 'Find...'. When the find dialogue, bar, or whatever else applies shows up, type in the corresponding search term, whether it's 'AA' or a marker like '1' without the single quotes ('). Why don't you see the markers in the content? They're hidden to make the guide look nicer.

Z for letting me do this & suggestions.
Relentless Chaos typo corrections.
Dreiko Shadrack for a good definition of "proc".

Note:[.444]
Some older items have been left as they do pop up from time to time for one reason or another.
Any help with suggestions of removing or adding abbreviations and acronyms is appreciated. As is policing of my spelling and grammar especially

Special Notes:
AMD/MOB
The final additive total of monster combat defense and block from stats(DEX/8 + LUK/40 ).
Proc:
quote:

Proc is a term inherited from MUDs, multi-user dungeons -- a precursor to the MMOGs of today. When an item in a MUD would have a special effect attached to it, the MUD's programming would use "SPEC_PROC", short for "special procedure", to attach the effect to the item by linking it to a procedure programmed elsewhere in the MUD's code. Because of this internal naming, "Spec Procs", and later just "Procs", refer to any unusual effect on an item.

quote:


"Proc" is short for spec_proc (SPECial PROCedure). In a MUD*, a spec_proc is a function** that occurs in response to something else. Weapon specials are a form of spec_procs.

"To proc" means "to have a spec_proc occur", and a "proc rate" means "the rate of a spec_proc occurring".

*Multi-User Dungeon. It's kinda like the 80s/90s version of MMOs.
**If you don't know what a function is, then just call it the more technical term, "thingamajig".


In AQ normally referring to the rate of a special.




Z -> RE: AQ Abbrevations and Acronyms (10/23/2011 8:29:23)

The following can be added IMO. The decision is up to you, though.

Items:
GSS: Glacial Short Staff
SotT: Sword of the Titans
VCC: Virulent Chimeran Champion

Non-equipment:
BRS or B/R/S: Base, Random and Stats (as in 500/500/300 BRS)
DPT: Damage per turn
FSB: Full Set Bonus
Proc: procedure (as in "proc rate")

Guide moved to the main forum.




afterlifex -> RE: AQ Abbrevations and Acronyms (10/23/2011 8:48:08)

I would agree, i had forgot to add GSS[&:]

The only one I am reluctant to add is "SotT: Sword of the Titans".
edit: as to why I would like to stay away from too much equ. as over time things change and we will just end up with what we had last time. Something like VCC will just about always be used given it's MC.

Thx[;)]

I will also add DoT: Damage Over time




AQSewy -> RE: AQ Abbrevations and Acronyms (10/28/2011 13:35:19)

I find Great Pupmkin Patch GPP also should be added :)




afterlifex -> RE: AQ Abbrevations and Acronyms (11/1/2011 12:24:49)

edit: a few older items that have been updated have no been crossed out but will remain for a while until their usage is less likely. ES: Elemental Seeker , SB:Spell Blocker , SS: SackelBerry Special & STS: Siege Tower Shield.

While some abbreviations still have use they aren't as definitive item wise as they once were.

afterlifex -> RE: AQ Abbrevations and Acronyms (3/4/2013 13:11:58)

May or may no include them(in their own section) given they are fairly specific to the Comparison section, as such they will never be very common place. They should also be discernible given context of the situation.

123surprise -> RE: AQ Abbrevations and Acronyms (2/28/2015 21:01:17)

Could GGB: Golden Giftbox be added?




Bolter -> RE: AQ Abbreviations and Acronyms (3/4/2015 22:26:51)

how about 9mares = Ninemares?




afterlifex -> RE: AQ Abbreviations and Acronyms (3/5/2015 0:29:56)

I will see to GGB when I get time.

As far as "9mares" not too common IMO. For the most part further items will not be added unless they are some combination of: A) they are a common item suggestion B) They have staying power(not going rare &/or unique) & C) the abbreviation itself is common place.

People will always shorten names but not all will catch on or stay around. (To that point I need to clean up the guide as is)

Ninemares is from a token package which means its availability is theoretically limited & on top of that it isn't all the special.
