Abbreviations

Secret Society Hidden Mystery Wiki Forum Abbreviation and Concepts Glossary On this wiki's forum there are several abbreviations used. This is a list explaining them for newcomers. When you enter the Friends menu and click the "Send a gift" button on your friend's panel, a menu with two tabs will open up. All items listed in the "Send a gift" tab are free for the gifter to give. They DO NOT come out of your own inventory, thus you can always give these, regardless of whether you yourself have one or not in your inventory. You can give one of these types of gifts to up to fifty friends per day. (Combining Elements (CEs) and some Special Items  See also the Gifting article for more information) These are the items that are used to combine your Collection Items. They make up the majority of the "Free gifts". (See the Combining Elements article for more information) These DO come out of your own inventory. You can give up to ten of these per day and may give more than one to a single friend. (See the List of Collection Items and Gifting articles for more information)
