How to Use

The Name is mapped to [N] (capital N) by default. You can do two things with Name:

  • Name an individual item (this is how you can get the artifact Sting, among others.)
  • Name a CLASS of items (that is, all the items of that type, such as all steel wands)

Reasons To Name An Individual Item

These are just a few reasons to rename an individual item with Name, with an example for each:

  • Roleplay (naming your primary weapon "Stinging Blow" because of the amount of damage you can do with it)
  • Reminders (naming an item that doesn't auto-identify, or naming an item you suspect is cursed)

(Note: this list may be missing a few reasons, feel free to add more.)

Reason(s) To Name a class of items

  • Guesses (you can name gems you suspect are worthless pieces of glass after preforming any tests you normally do)

(Note: the above Note applies to this list as well.)
