    I got a questio. I recently heard someone say "Can anyone send me an invite? I need a timer." He was in a dungeon. I didn't get what a "timer" was at the time, can anyone tell me please?

    If you've done your fb19, then you know that little countdown menu you get?

    That is what people refer to as a timer.

    And it's also courteous to squad them if they say that they don't have a timer. Sometimes it won't come up, and by squadding that person, you 'wake up' their timer.

    Asmodiel - Heavens Tear wrote: »
    is that a shout :o:o

    or just short for "Random or Annoying Rubbish" o.o b:chuckle

    I beleive we have a new forum word(well sounds like its new to me O.o):

    RoAR - Means Random or Annoying Rubbish
    Way of using it:
    "Warning- this thread contains RoAR"

    All rights to this word go to AdvanceZero and Asmodiel b:victory

    its quite simple to use it, if a random pointless thread or post pops up, quote it and say it contains plenty of RoAR
    like so:

    Nothing, as far as I'm aware. Are you sure it wasn't "HP" (Hit Points), "BH" (Bounty Hunter) or "FB" (Fu Ben, a dungeon instance)?

    If you're sure it was "HB", what was the context you heard it used in?

    just think of them as greifers.

    I use A-saur to abbrevate that huge town ploped in the middle of the map.
    I think it fits because it a sore to go through the dang place xD Dang conventional pet shops (of my horrors xD).

    From the Abbreviations and Terms section of the PWI wiki:

    CQ - Cultivation Quest(s), the Spiritual Cultivation quests you get every ten levels or so that give you the ability to learn new skills and the like. See Quests.

    TT - Twilight Temple, a level 60+ dungeon. It's broken up into chapters and sub-chapters, so TT 2-3 would be the third part of the second chapter of Twilight Temple. See Twilight Temple for details.

    okay, so I know that BH stands for bounty hunter, but I really dont get what people mean when they say something like "LFS BH39!" (LFS being looking for squad)

    At about every 10 levels, starting at level 19 (or 29 for Tideborn), you get a Call to Duty quest in a certain dungeon. Those quests are called FB19, FB29, etc... for short ("FB" is short for "fuben", which is basically Chinese for "instance"). You get quests to kill bosses in those same dungeons from the Bounty Hunter, so they call them BH29, BH39, etc... just to differentiate between a tabbed Call to Duty run and an untabbed Bounty Hunter run ("tabs" are Call to Duty tokens you get to use at the pillars in the dungeons that give extra Exp & SP to everyone in the squad for killing the bosses.)

    So, when someone says, "LFS BH39!" it means that they're looking for a squad to kill the bosses in the FB39 dungeon, known as the Gate of Delirium (found West of Broken Bridge), for the Bounty Hunter quests.
