ZardBot Commands List

What follows are some basic commands of ZardBot. Italics indicate a parameter that is optional, while bold indicates a required parameter.

AQ Commands

•  !aq abbrev abbreviation - Attempts to give the full word for the abbreviation. If no abbreviation is given, this command will tell you how many abbreviations are in ZardBot's dictionary. If you use this command and ZardBot tells you it can't find the abbreviation, please report the missing abbreviation.
•  !aq char character - Gives the stats for the character. Character can be an ID or a partial name, however if multiple characters have the same name this command will fail. Surrounding character with quotes (") will attempt to find the exact match for name.
•  !aq clan ClanName - Gives clan statistics for the specified clan name.
•  !aq encyc SearchTerm - If one result is returned, ZardBot will attempt to parse the encyclopedia posting and provide the data in IRC. Otherwise, it provides a link to up to 5 AQ Encyclopedia forum topics regarding searchTerm.
•  !aq ItemType ItemName - Returns the item statistics for itemName. itemType must be one of: weapon, armor, shield, pet, guest, or monster. If the search for itemName gives multiple results, you will be asked to try again using the exact name of the item. This command is provided courtesy of UltimateAQ.com.
