Okay, so I'm quite new to this game myself, and haven't figured out all the terms yet.

Perhaps this could be a thread to collect all the terms which may not be used else where.

FF, for example is one of the terms I mean. I see it often here, but dunno what it means.

If there's such a thread in existance already, please direct me to it.

If not, please put in terms you know, and terms you want to know, then I can add them to the first post.

Here are some I know of:

FSP(s) = Fallen Sword Point(s)
FF = Fully Forged
HF = Hell Forged

There's tons of more terms, just can't think of all of them at once. And for buffs, you can learn them by yourself. Just go to Character -> Skills -> Skills Guide (It's in Alphabetical Order).

Thanks guys!

keep it up. I'll collect them all in the first post, and when there's enough I'll organize them alphabetically and maybe even by catagories.

A stickied thread with most/all/a lot of the terms in Fallen Sword would be helpful.

Thanks everyone, keep it going!

It would be nice to know what category each goes into though.

I believe berserk is a buff right?

Lets do

Buffs
Merchanting (auction house etc)
Fighting (monster names, PvP terms)
Equipment (equipment names, enchantments like hell forge)
General (everything else)
Items
Oh, edit and guilds

That works too, I just usually see people saying they're buying LE and SE, not LEG and SE. But either ones find.

Well, sometimes the same terms have different meanings (for example GS its used for Guild Structure, but also for Guild Store; BB is Bounty Board or Blood Bloom). And same thing is named in different terms (for example the skill Four Leaf is called 4L or FL).

Personally, I prefer the long name for everything, as I prefer "please" instead of "pls". But the short terms are used, so I guess we need to learn those too.

Also, players are named in short.

Yeah, you've got that right popa... :)


Well, my short in-game name is Pop, man ("man" is the short form of Lobsterman :lol: ). As I said, I usually prefer the long names. As for players, I prefer their real names or some friendly form, like "mate". And I have a special name for my ignore button, it's called "Iggy Pop" :wink:

I like the idea. I'll give you the buff abreviations, I'm used to:

Off:
BT - Blood Thirst
EW - Enchant Weapon
Zerk - Berserk (much more common than bserk or something)
HF - Holy Flame
DC - Darc Curse
SW - Shockwave
SES - Superelite Slayer
SA - Shattered Armor
DW - Deatwish
SK - Spectral Knight
KE - Keen Edge
AS - Arterial Strike
DD - Death Dealer

Def:
EA - Enchanted Armor
FS - Force Shield
UB - Unbreakable
CA - Counter Attack (usually followed by the bufflevel)
Imp - Summon Shield Imp (also SSI)

Special:
FI - Find Item
TH - Treasure Hunter
DP - Deep Pockets
QF - Quest Finder
AL - Adapt Learner
LIB - Lbrarian
Merc - Merchant
AM - Animal Magnetism
Cons - Conserve
BM - Brewing Master
4L - Four Leaf

Those which I have not listed don't have a general accepted abbreviation. Either because they are seldom used, they have a short name or the abbreviations differ.

Thanks!

If possible, next time please write it in the form I did, it just makes it easier to copy past for me.

for ex I do : instead of -.

But I shouldn't be complaining... I'm not even doing anything. It's you guys who are doing the work. Thanks to everyone who contributed! I hope this can help others. It certainly helped me.
