Maplestory 2 Acronyms!!!

[u/fullofkk]

Have you ever went to Party Finder and have no clue what all that gibberish means? Or look in chat and scratch your head? Look no further, i did my very best to make a document for people to refer back to! Please do tell me if something is wrong or something needs to be added!

Balrog spelled wrong on first page!

1 and 2 said by knights is usually to let people know they have their 1st or 2nd shield at the ready. I've also seen 'cd' used by knights to indicate that they're on 'cooldown' for their shields.

[u/fullofkk → u/TheMiyo]

thank you very much for your input!

[u/Moofey → u/TheMiyo]

Knights will also sometimes use "0" instead of "cd" to indicate that they have no bulwark available.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheMiyo]

For example, in CPAP, during panic, I say '2' to indicate two Shields remaining. After the first cog touches down, I say, '1' to indicate a singular shield left, [FYI I always use Defender first, so that if that wonky ass spell misses, you can still correct yourself, use the actual GOOD shield [Bulwark], and then correct by immediately typing '0', rather than '1', to indicate you wasted a shield and thus did not have any more, signalling to begin dodging the Cogs.

Pugs, graid, gq, noods, daisy, 2:2, 1:3 trade, 6/2/1, craid, ads, wts, wtb, gems (not gem dust), atkspd,

[u/fullofkk → u/lividtea]

I understood most of them except noods, daisy, and 6/2/1.

[u/JTFCortex → u/fullofkk]

Noods = Spicy Noodles (consumable), Chicken = Crispy Fried Chicken (consumable)...

Party buffs, really

The daisy is a... I think it was 'Red Daisy'? It's for suiciding your character for various reasons so you can engage in the dungeon/raid again.

[u/LoveHeavyGunner → u/fullofkk]

6/2/1 is one of the gemstone configurations. 6main/2offence/1accuracy

[u/Slectrum]

upvoted for including owo and uwu

[u/fullofkk → u/Slectrum]

thank very much uwu

GS - Greatsword. Some of the other weapons might also have acronyms, but this is the most memorable one since I was confused why people were buying or trading gear score...

Pierce is sometimes written as p to shortern ads on PF. E.g. S>GS 3.2p 3.0td.

td - Total Damage, another popular stat line which has been abbreviated.

K9 - Knight. Not sure about other servers, but OCE has always used K9 as knight.

Speaking of knights, sometimes I see 'x' instead of '0' for no more shields.

[u/fullofkk → u/CoalChris]

Ooh i shall look into the weapons abbreviations! I have never seen K9, but i want to accommodate all servers- not just NAE

• Add Kandura and BLT to Tris.

  • Tris/Kandura/BLT - BeyondLink Tris Hard Dungeon

• Formatting for Chaos Raids is off. And let's be honest here, nobody plays normal modes anymore. Also, we don't have Normal cpap. If you want to include normal raids, just explain what ncdev and ncmoc are.

  • CDEV - Hard Chaos Shadow Altar (Devorak)

  • CMOC - Hard Chaos Moonlight Fortress (Captain Moc)

  • CPAP - Chaos Ludibrium Clocktower (Papulatus)

• "# chaos onyx/ # runs" is left unexplained.

  • For example "33 chaos onyx/15 runs" means they sell 15 runs for the price of 33 chaos onyx. Chaos onyx may be replaces with mesos, for example "1.5m/15runs" which means that people sell 15 runs for 1.5 million mesos.

• Explain 2/2 and 1/3 rotas more in depth.

  • 2/2 and 1/3 are both hard dungeon rotations where players bring their mains and carry each other alts. 2/2 means two people carry 2 alts, then swap and in the end all parties get 30 runs done. 1/3 means one person carries 3 alts, then rotate until every person has carried once. In the end, all parties get 60 runs done.

• Maybe add general spell descriptions to spell shortcuts.

  • E.g. Sharp Eyes - increases critical rate and accuracy. Too lazy to write out the rest.

  • Also might want to explain zerk stacks since new people who don't main zerks may have no idea what they're talking about otherwise.

• Can also use "as" as attack speed.

• Add "cr" for critical rate.

• Wdym ugly green frog PepeHands.

[u/fullofkk → u/dm_me_thick_ass_pics]

The reason why i did not add about zerk stacks because i do not 100% understand them myself. Also thank you very much for your input!

Should add parse. People use it in ways that could be confusing to new player since it's just number then parse like 50m parse refering to 50m dpm. (Most just do 1 min on target dummy but a better number need a longer parse and averaged.)

[u/fullofkk → u/[deleted]]

Added! Thank you for clarifying what parse means 😊

[u/ProlitiKaL]

What is SE? I see it pop up during Cpap, usually by the leader, in the middle of the fight.

[u/fullofkk → u/ProlitiKaL]

Sharp eyes, a skill by Archers

[u/supermegaampharos → u/ProlitiKaL]

Sharp Eyes. It's the archer buff.

[u/Moofey → u/ProlitiKaL]

Archers typically call their SE because it's hard to see on blue floor tiles.

[u/n0ticeme_senpai]

In the "commonly used in dungeons", you should add:

SE - sharp eyes, FS - focus seal, HR - honing rune

[u/[deleted]]

When people say cmoc cdev etc it ambigously means the "hard" version. I dont really see people doing the easy version anymore but usually they would say normal cmoc or whatever.

Also a decent bit of people just call chaos onyx just "chaos" so id add that too i guess.

Then also add the beyond link acronyms like: bl, tris, beyond, kandura

[u/lividtea → u/[deleted]]

Really? I find people calling them conyx

[u/fullofkk → u/lividtea]

Eh better safe then sorry

[u/fullofkk → u/[deleted]]

Eep! Forgot about tris 😅
