Talk:Changing the Names of Boring Artifacts/@comment-24509764-20170623020621

Here's my two or three cents - most of these artifacts names could do with updating. However, I think we should get some general order to follow when naming more generic artifacts. That doesn't mean this must be taken as the order every time, but just act as a general guideline.

Keep artifacts with unique names such as the Falchion, we're bound to have a handful of artifacts that need non-standard names if they possess a formal title (like Excalibur rather than sword) or exist outside of standard objects. I think we can name artifacts in 2 different ways: by including the effects or origin in the title. It would probably be best to try and write a title that quickly tells what the effect is, such as "Power Draining Light" rather than just "Lamp". If that approach feels like its forced and unnatural, then I think using the place or time of origin would be appropriate as well. Just any description beyond just the object should suffice.
