Weapon/Item Renaming

Just a random thought I had (and can put down now I can actually post on Forum threads (yay!)

Being able to rename items to fit our playstyle/RP feels. Obviously Legendary items should remain as they are (for Lore reasons) and when trying to vendor an item, it will automatically revert to it’s previous ID, but while using them - how about letting us rename them… like transmogrify only in name.

Sounds like a great idea for an addon.

One thing I miss from SWG. As a tailor you could name the clothes you crafted.

I made a fortune selling Darth Vaders Underpants. :slight_smile:

I pull out my weapons… StinkyFart and GetRektNoob to conquer my enemies!

I remember doing this in Morrowind and Oblivion.

Just as well they were single player games

You could never do this in Skyrim right? Never played the older elder scrolls games

It was removed for Skyrim yeah, but to be fair a lot of stuff was chopped from Morrowind for Oblivion. For instance you didn’t need to mod the game to make your character godlike in Morrowind, you just went to a spell seller, bought two spells, Fortify attribute and Soul Trap, cast it on yourself and within 5 minutes you were one shotting Dagoth Ur and crashing your game. Ofc if that wasn’t before you accidentally killed an important NPC and you got the game telling you to behave yourself next time.

Like the time I decided to say “You know what Vivec, I’m tired of your lip, I’m gonna pun… Oh… I killed him… Yeah yeah yeah live in this doomed world I created blah blah blah… Just let me load a previous save…”

My Glass two handed claymore called “Pamela Anderson’s rather suspicious looking toy”

best game ever

Probably not. I think renaming items may come close to ban for interfering with the operation of game files

Addon for it I mean

No you wouldn’t be able to edit the files, just change how you view things.

You can already rename pets (both hunter and non-hunter types), so it’ll be fine from that point of view. I love this idea, I call dibs on “Mournblade”.

I found this addon:

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/memenames

To change the names yourself, apparently you have to edit the file MemeNames.lua, but at least we know it’s technically possible with an addon.

I bet people would make weapons called “Silencer of the Wife” or stuff along that line so not a good idea
