>all items, consumables, and upgrade items are all different words that I never heard before

ok? did you want items to be just terms you're familiar with? you don't want em to have cool made up names or be named after more esoteric concepts?
"dude should we name this sword Grogborg's Whittler of Bone?" "Nah, anon won't get it, name is Kevin"

the only thing that should have a generic name like that is the generic starting weapon
if you get some kinda shitty longsword off a city guard or something, you can call it longsword
once you get a nicer longsword, it's still a longsword, but i at least want it to express some kinda rise in quality and importance
names should go from less to more elaborate and epic sounding as they go on
>longsword => longsword of power => the beheader => the dark blade of kings => god's fang
the strongest one should have a simple one word name, like "Zorbogrok", to imply its so feared and prophesized that its name precedes it and it alone strikes fear into the hearts of everyone in the land, a name it was given for its notoriety or earned or blessed by something ancient

i don't want
>longsword => longsword (+1 dmg) => longsword (+3 dmg) => strong longsword => longsword of fire (+2 fire)

>>718656948
