Here is a list of terms people use during chats and what they mean:

General

  1. Lant = money, the in game currency
  2. Points = item mall points, these are purchased through the Requiem web site
  3. Mob = Monster, you know the things you run around killing
  4. Xeons = they are like crystals, there are three main types, Image:Xeon_Reinforcement_Weapon.gif Reinforcement (red), Image:Compound.png Compound (blue) and Image:Simple.png Basic (green)
  5. LFP = Looking for party, usually seen in the yellow region chat
  6. AH = Auction House, this is where you can buy and sell just about anything
  7. WTS = Want to sell, some people don't want to pay the 5% commission when you sell items through the AH but be careful, people can try and rip you off. You should also know what sort of price the item is currently selling for on the AH.
    • Another scam noobs should be careful of is buying/selling "Item mall" items for Lant. The only way to give someone an item from the mall is to gift it not the normal trade window where both Lant and item are traded at the same time. You give them the item / Lant and that's the last you see of it or them.
  8. WTB = Wanting to buy, why they don't just go to the AH I don't know
  9. CS = Cash shop, the item mall where you pay cash for points that you use to buy items.
  10. LW = Lord Werinuman, currently the biggest boss in the game
  11. PB = Possession Beast, your character has the ability to go physco, you can buy a PB Quin at the AH or one for free by completing the PB quest at level 23

Battle

  1. DOT = Damage over time, this is a skill you would use on a mob and it keeps giving them damage. An example is the Hydrochloric Acid Throw of the Battle Magician
  2. AoE = Area of Effect, this is where you damage all mobs within a certain area
  3. DPS = Damage per strike (or second), the amount of damage done each time an attack is used
  4. RoL = Ruins of Lament, RoL is a dungeon on the Parness map. To complete the Possession beast quest and get your Possession Beast Quin you have to defeat the Goint in the RoL
  5. PvP = Player verse Player, where players duel and try and kill each other
  6. PvE = Player verse Enemy/Environment, ummm.... kinda obvious what this means
  7. PK = Player kill, only available on the Hammermine server
  8. MPK = Mob player kill, where a player gets you killed by a mob
  9. Tank = a class of character that can take alot of damage and still live, these meat shields take on the mobs while the more squishy type characters stand back and do the mobs damage.
