Ok well, I see alot of people go like "WTS Perfect 25^26 Q4 stormbow" (just an example, i don't even know if that exists, lol.)
What's with that? Q4 = requires4 marksmanship? What's 25^26 then?
In other words, would someone explain me the 'terminology' of weapons... or whatever you'd like to call it...

im not 100% sure but the x^x is usually mod%^chance%.... we'll use a damage mod for example damage +15%^20% of the time. i think your right with the Q although i never got why they used Q for requirements i always thought it would be R

I think you mean something
as "WTS Q9 15^50 blah blah blah
Q9 means Req. 9
15^50 is a inscription called Strength and Honor
which gives a 15% more damage when your health is over 50%
Hence it being called 15^50.

Some weapons have +15 dmg whilst over 50% health....they slim it down to 15^50, likewise other weapons have +15dmg whilst under 50% health...this becomes 15v50.
hope this answers your question.

The real problem is the lack of space, ie length of text, we are given to post sale items in the Search Window.
This forces people to change a post like:
WTS Max Gold Vampiric Flameberge 15^50(non-inscribed) Req 9 +30HP for xx
To:
WTS Sword R9 15^50Vamp30HP-XX

Also, I think that they use q instead of r to alleviate confusion with the ranger class?
Although they do use r when talking about ursan requirements in Olafstead for farming...

Me and my old guild always referred to Req as Quality, hence me using Q o.O, I kinda though that's why every-one did that.

a) q is a way cooler letter than r
b) some people do think r automatically means ranger
c) some people also mistake r for rank, such as your ursan comment (rank 10 is r10)
All that said, nobody should mistake a r9 sword for anything other than a sword with a requirement of 9.
As for referring to req as quality, I'd never heard of it referred to as that but at least now I have an excuse to say

BFG
I always thought the the "Q" may come from "reQuirement". If not, it does help in remembering, for me.
