@

A symbol that is commonly seen in search comments. Generally synonymous with TNL. It is used to refer to how many experience points a player needs to reach the next level. Also can be used in questions such as "everyone @?" which essentially means "What is everyone's TNL?"

The Japanese '@' is basically a romanized pronunciation of the symbol. It reads as 'ato'(あと/後) which can be translated to 'left' or 'remaining'. It would be best to reconfirm TNL facts as many english players would use @ as its literal meaning -> 'at'. So to Japanese players '@1000' would mean '1000exp TNL' while some english players would use the same phrase for '1000exp into the level'.

A common confusing case of @ is when people are looking for members. Japanese players use @2 for 'looking for 2' while non-Japanese players' @2 means 'we have 2 members.'

Also occasionally used in other situations such as in reference to lotting rights in events like dynamis or salvage- "I'm @ for WHM AF2" "Who's @ for the Usukane Haramaki Set?"

Can also be used to denote that Sneak is wearing off. In this case the @ symbol represents an ear, as Sneak is a spell that mutes a characters sounds from enemies.

Two @@ together can be used to denote that Invisible is wearing off. In this case, the @@ represents a pair of eyes, as Invisible is a spell that hides a character from an enemy's sight.

Can also be used in chat situations to give your location. Eg. @JeunoAH or @<pos>.

*

A symbol usually typed after a word to indicate that a misspelling or mistyping of some kind occurred, and the corrected version is the version followed by the * symbol. Example: "Helo all" would likely be followed by "Hello* all"
