What does the 15/50 or whatever mean?
I presume it has something to do with weapons, but not sure about the details.

Damage +15%(while your health is above 50%)
One of the perfect mods for weapons(mainly swords,axes,hammers and bows).

I like the Damage +15% while Enchanted much more then that mod personally

However my current bow only has +14%... not that 1% makes any difference whats so ever.

Blackace, nice list. mob is one enemy, mobs is multiple. I'm not the first in this thread to mention it. "A mob of mobs" is ok to use, though, haha. Anyway please fix it. You got deJames all mixed up in the usage of the word "mob" within his definiton of "add".

fyi- I'm saving the link to this thread. nice list... did i mention?

@blane:
thanks for clearing that up.

@Mob:
Well mob is one group of things. Mobs are multiple groups of things.
Though in the i-net words tend to get sex0rd up.

In MMO's, mob = Mobile Object. singular. If someone chooses to use the i-net lingo, they should know how it was intended to be used, which is what several posters in this thread are trying to clear up. If people are using mob as in the english term, they should say "mob of X", otherwise it's slang, and i-net slang is different in this case.

And yes, I hate whoever came up with that particular i-net term too. But we can't change it. We can drop it, but not change it.

Speaking of hate, I hate who came up with ap = armor penetration. AP is too well known for Action Points in other games.

could someone define spiker, used at LuLu's "I Hate Izzy" Build

also the term "build" i get in general but dont know exact usage, being a newb. does it always refer to a complete set of weapons/skills/etc or can that stuff vary under the one "build"?

Build refers to the current skill listing/skill lines you're using. For example:

10 Healing Prayers/12 Axe Mastery/13 Tactics <--Those are 'skill lines'
Skills in your skill bar are the "skill listing"

These combine to create a thing most people refer to as "A Build" or a specific way you're playing your character.

What about gtg?

I've seen two interpretations. One is "Good to go" and the other is "Got to go". Big difference e.g

<a> :k gtg
<b> :k cu
<a> :? gtg
<c> : bye
<d> : cu
<a> : wtf

Also is there any etiquette on the use of "y"? Is it context specific to mean "Yes" or "Why"?
