Welcome To My Lioden Terms Guide

This is my first guide and I hope it helps someone out there! I get confused about some of the terms and I made this for myself and others. Feel free to bookmark and reference when you need.

This will be most helpful by using ctrl + f and then searching the exact term you need. Am I missing something? let me know so I can keep this updated to the best of my ability.

I tried my best to gather knowledge that I used like two years ago and then prowling the forums for anything new or just things I legit cannot remember. I came back to this game a few days ago and I wanted a comprehensive list for myself and others to look back at.
