RAP stands for 'Ranged Attack Power' - however I *think* it's all just AP now, though someone will need to confirm that......?

The abbreviation that *always* gets me is RNG, now - I know it means Random Number Generator (cause I asked on here before) but my brain always just translates it into the word RaNGe..... which always gets me confused cause it never fits the context of the conversation:

Gredeth: Prospected 20 stacks of ore and not one Blue gem! damn you RNG!
Me (thinking): What the hell has range got to do with prospecting?

D'OH!

(still on the effects of the coffee, if you want me to post something stupid now's the time to ask.........).

YOu have no vision Temples! Let me explain!

The closer you stand to the ore when prospecting the greater the chance youll see small gems in the ore. Hence ther RaNGe should be cloes as possible, prefferably holding the ore up to its nose! Thats for nearsighted. For far sighted situation is opposite OFC. They must hold the ore on the tip of their extended fingers of their extended arms!

Same as with gems you mine from nodes.

See its easy
Thx for help tho!

I think there's a macro to do that...
find the optimal range for prospecting and such

"Rapping (also known as emceeing, MCing, spitting, or just rhyming) is the rhythmic spoken delivery of rhymes, wordplay, and poetry. Rapping is a primary ingredient in Hip Hop music, but the phenomenon predates Hip Hop culture by centuries. Rapping can be delivered over a beat or without accompaniment. Stylistically, rap occupies a gray area among speech, prose, poetry, and song. The use of the word to describe quick speech or repartee long predates the musical form, meaning originally "to hit". The word had been used in British English since the 16th century, and specifically meaning "to say" since the 18th. It was part of the African American dialect of English in the 1960s meaning "to converse", and very soon after that in its present usage as a term denoting the musical style. Today, the terms "rap" and "rapping" are so closely associated with Hip Hop music that many use the terms interchangeably. For purposes of clarity, this article focuses rapping, as a technique or activity."
