What happens if you name Wanderer?

If you name Wanderer, you will receive a Precious Item in your inventory called An Appellative Stroke after concluding the new quest, and the existing characters in the game will still refer to the character as Wanderer due to the lack of AI-generated voice capabilities for custom names. The naming process allows players to choose a new name for the character, but certain names, such as Scaramouche, Balladeer, and Kunikuzushi, are banned as they are associated with the character’s past identities.
