I've been playing Tibia since 2004 and I don't know about you but I always call Spider Silks by their old name which was Giant Spider Silk. This was changed is update 8.5 according to Tibia Fandom: Spider Silk due to other creatures like Crystal Spiders dropping them. This leads me to my curious question, what other items had a name change and why? I dont want items that completely changed their look and name I want the look of the item to be the same. There actually another question on TibiaQa that focuses on sprites that got replaced this is only talking about the name change of the item.

I thought this question was interesting, I hope it's not just me. Any explanation as to why it might not be helpful?

I dont want an item that completely changed its look and name i want an item that simply changed its name like my example. Theres other questions that have longer endless lists which never receive any downvotes. I appreciate the comment though.

Considering how many items there are in Tibia, it will be very hard to give a complete list but I'll give a few examples:

  • items which had their names changed due to singular/plural shenanigans
    dice → die
    sais → sai
  • a previously unobtainable item which was reintroduced to the game with different name and stats
    foil (Atk: 9, Def: 11) → epee (Atk: 37, Def: 23)
  • an item which name was considered derogatory in certain regions
    coolie hat → sedge hat
  • items which had their names changed following the beholder → bonelord switch (due to legal reasons)
    beholder eye → bonelord eye
    beholder shield → bonelord shield 1
    beholder helmet → bonelord helmet
  • an ancient case of items given to members of the first Tibian guilds, which were later changed after other players' complains 2
    kaerell shield → ancient shield
    rose armor → noble armor 1
  • there's also an interesting case of an unobtainable item unofficially named by the playerbase, which had its name revealed much later
    golden mace → light mace 1

1 These items had their sprites updated; however, it is not related to the name change

2 One more item was changed but I decided not to include it due to sprite change (mercenary shield → griffin shield)

-Dread Doll - "This item was originally titled Dread Doll until it was the subject of a map bug in which it spawned in the Thaian Castle. Because of this and its intended rarity, CipSoft changed the doll's name and description, and they were later transformed into Fan Dolls of Queen Eloise."

 

 Bonelord Set.

I'm not asking for creatures - please put the item name

ahh, sorry  ! Can I ask you also if Wands replacing is also what you want to consider in that?
by (17,377 points)
No - items that were completely replaced I do not want thank you :) Just name changes of an item where the item stayed the same.
