I Wish I Could Rename My Gear

Already bound pieces only. Attempting to rename a piece would bind the piece to your account as if you equipped it.

I have 3 or 4 sets of several crafted armor sets because I like efficiency. A level 10 training set, a level 30 training set, a cp160 training set, and for some other sets like night mothers thats are very good for vMA on stam, a cp160 divines set, or for sets like new moon acolyte thats very strong for mag and stam, a set in light and a set in medium

Either that or find some solution that doesnt encourage players to keep 3-4 sets of the same armor.

    I like the idea of renaming gear because the game arranges items alphabetical so by renaming them it would become easier to work thru a list of gear in my bank inventory.

    Same, I can never remember which set goes with what, which I can store in the housing chests for later or which I need to keep in my inventory. They're all bound so why not?

    I would love to have a house furnishing that would act like a gear or style mannequin: we would be able to create builds or outfits on it, and equip them instantly. It would help with relieving our bank and chest inventories as well.

    It would be interesting. You might even charge for it, if it requires mats. It would need it's own section in the crafting ui, and require it's own rare material.

    If you are carrying select few gear on your char depending on the type of content you are doing. You could use the addon called Dressing Room it allows you to save loadout's. That way you dont have to change gear/skills by hand anymore.

    glad this has gotten positive feedback. i also like the "loadout mannequin" idea for houses.

    I really want this, and I want those names to show up when working at the outfit station, too. (I'm sometimes not sure which weapon I'm applying a style to.)

    All my Mother's Sorrow gear would instantly become "Daddy's Joy". Yes, I can get on board with this idea.

    Agreed. Although I’m not really into RP in games I always renamed my gear in oblivion when I would enchant it

    I would prefer being able to bundle sets. It would make it easier to move around and equip.

    Me too. If only because zos uses separate and confusing ‘standards’ for naming set pieces. Some sets, all body pieces will be ordered together because they all start with a common set name prefix. Other sets though have a different naming nomenclature causing them to be scattered all over your bag inventory.

    I would prefer zos change the naming scheme so it uses the grouped together naming scheme but allowing is to rename would also work

    Yes, Zos should have a standard. The set name should always come first with the exception of uniquely named items. The current design does not seem to have an actual standard.

    This would cause a major strain on an already overloaded server.

    i wouldnt use it for rp either myself. id just name is "NMA cp160 medium" or "magnus gift 30 training" or "grothdarr light divines" since elf bane magdk uses light monster helm and shoulders so i need a separate set for it

    inventory insight usually helps finding gear but when im trying to find a set to give to a character im about to do skyreach on and i type in "hunding's rage" my inventory insight has so many results i have to scroll down

    I don't use named set pieces because I can never tell what set it's part of at a glance without scrolling over it. Being able to rename them would solve that problem.

    Yes, that's a nice idea.

    When I craft daggers for someone, I want to be able to rename them "hurty & ouchie" .. or maybe "pointy and stabby"

    While that is a good suggestion, an official implementation in the game would be preferable. If only for the console folks. Some quality of life changes, such as loadouts or a search feature in the inventory, are sorely needed

    Basic feature of any prior TES game. Could be a simple client-side feature honestly.

    I would love this 100%. I would likely use it to add my characters' names to it so I knew whose set what whose, especially when the gear is taken off for improvement/trait change. I only have one character who does all the enchanting, traits, improvement. It would make those pieces much easier to locate by the character they're for.

    +100 for this idea. :)

    Not to put it past ZoS to do something that dumb, but only if you assume this was all held server side.

    All items have an item ID, how our client labels any particular coded item ID is a function of the client. You could easily have all custom gear naming only be client side - e.g. to the server and any account you login to on a different computer, it would be named 'Inferno Staff of Julianos'

    On your client end you used custom rename on, it would parse that item ID against your custom label list and simply display in your UI only the custom name you chose. This would have no effect on game balance, chance of client side hacking to somehow grant unfair advantage, stats, etc. It is simply what your UI labels any given item ID to be.

    So yea, if ZoS were particularly stupid, I suppose they could enable a server side only mechanism - or just not do custom naming at all which is far more likely. But on slim chance they do, there is no reason it couldn't be off loaded entirely on the client end.

    thats fine. i just want an easier way to distinguish between the 3 or 4 different sets of the same gear i have for some sets.

    ROFL last week I was like "OH CRAP WE CAN NAME OUR ARMORS!!!" Then I realized they meant renaming the storage coffer...-_-...Then I thought... "man that would be great to add that"
