Forum:Do you name your weapons? (keep it clean, please)
So, do you? Name (#call) your weapons, that is?
I do. I dunno why. Maybe it makes me more cautious about rust traps and acid blobs. I don't ever like my named weapons to corrode.
There's a belief among some players, (and I think this comes from a false rumour in-game), that if you name your weapon after the first monster you kill with it, it gets some kind of buff.
It's not true, of course, but sometimes, if the first monster I kill with a (non-artifact) weapon is something with a decently cool name, I do name it something with that in it. Like "Jackaltooth" or summat like that...
But I often just name my long sword "Sunbeam" or a katana "Silverleaf." Or if I have two non-artifact swords I'm dual-wielding, I'll call them "Telperion" and "Laurelin", (the Trees of Light from the Silmarillion), because I'm a total Tolkien girl.
So, if you have any clean, decent things you like to #call your weapons, tell us!

- Usually I name my weapons and armor after intrinsics I already obtained, or the locations of quest portals. So for example there could be a "blessed +5 pair of gloves named disint,pois,fireres" or a "+3 long sword named quest on dlvl17". Is this cheating? Am I the only one doing this? --Bluescreenofdeath (talk) 12:54, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- No, I'm sure that's no different from writing it down on a post-it note. JMarieStanton (talk) 14:41, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- In previous games, I have named a off-hand (silver) dagger "Dandelion", after the book Rumo. I have also named the rings I got off of Nazgul "nth ring of mortal men" (I was collecting) Catullus (talk) 13:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- I like the name "Dandelion". Have you ever managed to get a set of 9 nazgul rings? JMarieStanton (talk) 14:41, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
