But I like the Crystool!
I guess I'm fine with getting rid of the name "Chillers" though.

i think its very important to mix up the names not just to show
which items are better or worse (crap gets english names, good
stuff gets aero names) but to just give more feeling to them. i
mean look, there's this item for galeoth which you can craft
from the ice crown. this super magic armor bullshlt thing,
forgot its name. you see? its a good item and you always want to
use it, but man it just makes you stronger, its not COOL.
that kind of item you want after reading the stats but man,
ELEXORIEN 2? holy mother of fuck, i clicked on that tharo the
first time and even before reading the stats i just saw a
rainbow sword called elexorien 2 and i was like oh shit, im so
getting this item. im so getting this. best item in the game.
and to the day its my favorite item, even though its too weak to
really use it.
you know why it is so good? because it stands out and is cool.
why does it stand out? because that galeoth-armor has some
shitty-ass english name nobody remembers for half a minute.
thats why. if every good item had some fancy name, nobody would
fancy those fancy names anymore.
mix it up and keep the fancy names to stuff that actually kicks
ass. oh yeah, and another thing: if you connect the items to the
story a bit, they get even more memorable. like tharo has
elexorien 2. thats enough story-connection. by having that
interaction between fradz and tharo in chp7 when you have that
sword, you bring it to perfection.
and you actually got to see elexorien when you yourself are weak
pudding and cant even imagine +200 dmg on an item. that makes
you even more eager to have that thing.
so what i mean is, if you give an item a big name, make the
players know about the item before they can get it. "do you look
for powerful items? i would recommend maragath set, its very
powerful". oh shlt, i want that set NOW.
so always think about how you can get something to the players,
thats what makes things awsome.

[quote]But I can't stand the word Oelivert (like where the heck
did that come from) but seeing as we are talking item names
here, let's ignore that for now.[/quote]
It's also the name of an item that will appear in chapter 9.
But I agree with Doom; Crystool, Chillers and Ziiv (especially
Chillers) do not sound right.

Really? How did I miss the item Olievert in Chapter 9??? But the
item list doesnt show the stats that this item gives...
Anyway, I feel that we should just stick to English names for
common and uncommon items. Then use a mix of English and
invented words for rare and epic items. Then use invented words
that sounds cool! for legendary and myth items.
