Modifiers

Item names are not random flavor. Each extra word is a modifier you can read.

A typical yellow sword looks like:

Molten Iron Sword of the Beetle

• Molten — Magic prefix (blue word in front)
• Iron Sword — the base item
• of the — the glue word
• Beetle — Superior last word (green+). Beetle on fighter armor is always Endurance.

Yellow adds another word before that last word. Purple swaps the front word for a Unique prefix. Grey junk can also wear a cosmetic level word (Opaque, Acid-Wash) that does not change stats. Rainbows keep a fixed name and can roll a joke ending instead.

When the words show up

• Grey (Normal) — cosmetic level prefix only
• Green (Superior, level 1+) — last word
• Blue (Magic, level 3+) — prefix + last word
• Yellow (Rare, level 6+) — prefix + rare postfix + last word
• Purple (Unique, level 10+) — unique prefix + rare postfix + last word
• Rainbow (Mythic, level 15+) — fixed name, optional mythic ending

Full word lists

• Name Descriptors — Superior last words by class and weapon
• Level Prefixes — grey cosmetic words
• Magic Prefixes — blue words in front
• Rare Postfixes — yellow words after the name
• Unique Prefixes — purple words in front
• Mythic Suffixes — rainbow joke endings
• Item Prefixes — every front-of-name list
• Item Suffixes — every after-the-name list

Fighter loot uses Scale / Plate / Crystal. Ranger uses Leather / Chain / Splint. Mage uses Ghost / Cloth / Padded. Anyone can wear any piece that meets the level.
