Duplicate Item Names (not duplicates)
Well, the item name is usually composed by 3 main words, the first one is the stats of the item, the second one is for the item skin and the third is for the sigil/rune.
For example:
Strong Swindler Coat of the Citadel
Ravaging Swindler Coat of Hoelbrak
They both look the same, but the strong/ravaging means they have different status and the Citadel/Hoelbrak tells wich rune they have on it.
Sorry for my english, i hope i was clear enough
your English was fine, perfectly explained (though I am aware of this naming convention already).
the problem I mention is items with the same name but different stats and runes (where applicable). most of these are basic (white) items, but there are many fine, masterwork, rare and possibly even exotic with this issue.
