Tooltip

A HUD Tooltip that appears at a fixed location of the UI, showing a tooltip from hovering over Valeera Sanguinar.

When you hover your mouse over certain items (other characters, NPCs, mobs, items, buttons, etc.) a small window will pop up displaying a description of the item. This also works in many other computer programs. For example, hold your mouse over the "W" logo image ( ← this one should show "This is a tooltip").

This term comes from general computer UI tool tips from buttons or icons.
