So you've got Item Crafting. And you've got Flavor Text. And then you mix them together, and you get Blatant Lies. Supposedly you first create so-and-so item, let's call it a Fire Sword, five minutes ago. Flavor text will tell of how the sword was used in an ancient battle between wizards 500 years ago. "What the heck? I made the darn thing TODAY!" There are some possibilities here. Perhaps the item was made, then became Excalibur in the Rust; but Rusty Excalibur had its own name and legend. Maybe you've merely rediscovered an old formula. Maybe you're not actually crafting a new weapon, but using some sort of Summon Magic to call the item from wherever it's resting. Maybe it'll go back in time after you're done with it and have been used then. Maybe in this universe items can be reincarnated. Maybe An Entrepreneur Is You, and not a very honest one at that. Or maybe the flavor text is describing not this particular sword but another one of the same type and ability to give you an idea of what your new weapon is capable of. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })...Then again, maybe we're overthinking it...? Justified, somewhat, in that eBay users tend to do the same thing, fluffing their sold items with an Informed Ability or two. Perhaps this is just a way to "add value" to a newly made item.

Digimon games tend to have elaborate lore for every given Digimon, especially if they're Perfect/Ultimate or above. It often describes them as being part of a powerful organization or having a specific background. Despite this, you can usually get at least one Digimon to become one of them through good old-fashioned Digivolution, without needing to join any such organization. | |

In the Dragon Age series: Played With in Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, where you can have an Infinity +1 Sword crafted by the Ultimate Blacksmith from ancient dragonbone, which immediately gets a Codex entry and even a line in the epilogue—but not because of its past history, but because of its future history. In other words, you create a weapon so ridiculously overpowered that the game gives it its own legend as an advance payment. In Dragon Age II, killing a nameless high dragon will let you loot her Fire Gland, which, in turn, can be crafted by a local enchanter into an amulet named Urzara's Tooth. This unlocked a Codex entry, which claims that Urzara's Tooth is a 200-year-old relic of a dragon-worshipping cult. The codex entry has since been patched out. |

A recurring feature of the Might and Magic games is the presence of ores of various qualities which can be brought to craftsmen and used to make equipment. With the best ores, you have a chance of making equipment which is not merely ancient, but unique and legendary. In the sixth game, one of the enchantments which can appear on equipment is the "antique" modifier which multiplies the item's value by ten. By using the Enchant Item on unenchanted items, you may randomly turn them into antiques. | |

The Monster Hunter series abounds in this, possibly justified in that hunting is a business that has been going on for hundreds of years, and as long as you have sufficient materials you can make endless duplicates, thus implying that all the backstoried weapons you use are simply replicas of the versions that made the legends. | |

Dark Souls III implies that some of the soul-transposed weapons are actually the originals, and the boss soul is simply a gameplay abstraction. For example, the Hollowslayer Greatsword and Arstor's Spear are described as being the actual weapons used by Lucatiel of Mirrah and Sir Arstor of Carim respectively, found within the body of the Curse-Rotted Greatwood, and transposing them is just a gameplay mechanic allowing you to pick one to take with you retroactively. | |

Played straight and subverted in Dark Souls. Many weapons you upgrade get the normal treatment, but a few of the truly unique weapons require using the soul of their owner to forge them, implying that you are literally remaking that legend again. Dark Souls III implies that some of the soul-transposed weapons are actually the originals, and the boss soul is simply a gameplay abstraction. For example, the Hollowslayer Greatsword and Arstor's Spear are described as being the actual weapons used by Lucatiel of Mirrah and Sir Arstor of Carim respectively, found within the body of the Curse-Rotted Greatwood, and transposing them is just a gameplay mechanic allowing you to pick one to take with you retroactively. |

Zigzagged in Dawn of the Dragons. Most Legendary craftable items do not have any past history, and are only assumed to be powered up and ready for use. The Hauberk of Gold is crafted by combining a magical essence with a "championship belt"...to get a chestpiece that is said to have been worn by a hero many centuries before, and had divine gold used to fashion the overlaying chains. |

Played with in CarnEvil. The Protagonist has been drawn to the grave by an old legend about an evil carnival, and Tökkentäkker's grave is dated 1898. Yet a lot of it seems to have been based on very modern carnivals, including things like a tilt-a-whirl, a Food Court, and a bumper car attraction that's designed as a nostalgic throwback to The '50s. This is likely due to previous victims from that era influencing what would be added as new attractions. | |

Played straight in Kid Icarus: Uprising when fusing weapons to get new, hopefully better ones. This is justified, as all of Pit's weapons are replicas of the originals. Replicas that can be noticeably worse or far superior to the flavor text you read about the originals. Fusing is based on the "serial numbers" the replica's creator puts on each weapon. | |

Dwarf Fortress will have engravers start depicting epic events on the walls and precious items of the fortress as soon as the event has happened. Maybe they're just vain. It's even possible, thanks to a particular bug involving sequestered items (ones dwarves can't get to, and don't necessarily realize they can't get to), to have an artifact contain decorations depicting the artifact itself (presumably including its decorations...) as well as the event of its completion. | |

An event in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver allows you to create a legendary Pokémon (either Palkia, Dialga or Giratina, all of them representations of space, time and anti-matter) with the help of Arceus.

In The Elder Scrolls series, the various Daedric artifacts are a justified example, as the associated deity chooses how the artifact manifests in the physical realm. In some cases, this means the item comes into existence right before your eyes, and also justifies the changing appearance and properties of the items throughout the series. For example, in Skyrim, The Savior's Hide armor is made from the skin of a werewolf you just slew. Further, it looks nothing like it did in previous appearances in Battlespire, Morrowind, and Oblivion, and has a different enchantment in each game. (Resist Magic, but at varying strengths, while Skyrim adds Resist Poison as well. | |

Certain Pokémon have Pokédex entries that state that they were formed from certain things such as the spirits of deceased people, or were originally inanimate objects that were brought to life through unknown methods. Yet they can be hatched from eggs just like almost any non-legendary Pokémon. An event in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver allows you to create a legendary Pokémon (either Palkia, Dialga or Giratina, all of them representations of space, time and anti-matter) with the help of Arceus. Apparently it involves deconstructing and then reconstructing the whole universe exactly as it was, only with an egg with one of these Pokémon inside it. This reaches greater extremes with the fossil Pokémon in Sword and Shield. Despite being freakish experiments made of poorly assembled body parts from different creatures that are very clearly unnatural the Pokédex makes up a history of how all of them lived in their nonexistent ancient past. In this case, it's implied that the scientist who did the experiments wrote the entries to cover up the truth. |

Averted in Neverwinter Nights, where a weapon or piece of armor made by in-game will have the flavor text describe it being made by the specific blacksmith, in the current year and for the current campaign but in the same style as the "ancient" equipment◊ so it feels like the player is crafting their legend for future adventurers as they play the game. Played straight in the Expansion Pack Hordes of The Underdark. The game take place only a few months later and you find the über version of those same items, only they have new backstories. |

In Fantasy Life, there are two ways of getting an item depending on the way you play: buying it or making it yourself. The trope inevitably shows up in the latter case. It gets lampshaded by a scarecrow that can be obtained only by playing a carpenter and making it yourself: according to its Flavor Text, it somehow already has bite marks on it. | |

Dota 2: Applies to most of the items that can be crafted, especially those that cost at least 1,000 gold to obtain. Apparently, the Shadow Blade was used by a former king, and the Silver Edge that the Shadow Blade can be crafted into was used to assassinate a corrupt king, only for the kingdom to descend into civil war. This makes even less sense if multiple heroes in a game get a Shadow Blade or Silver Edge of their own. | |

Diablo III: There's a blacksmith that can make various weapons and armor using plans you find in the world. Some of those items can also be found from monster drops, but quite a few cannot. That doesn't stop them from having descriptions like 'forged by demons' attached though. Maybe he's outsourcing his labor? A later patch added Kanai's cube, which has several uses, among them the ability to upgrade a rare item into a legendary item of the same type. (for example, a rare helm into a legendary helm). This means that a legendary item obtained using the cube can have a flavor text describing an ancient, extremely powerful item, even though it was just a few minutes ago a plain, not really notable item. |

NieR can be guilty of this: Take your weapons to be upgraded and you get some backstories claiming that the weapon once caused an ancient tragedy. There's a reason for this. Nier is a direct sequel to one of Drakengard's (most infuriating) endings. Most, if not all, of those weapons were Caim's. Not to mention that Nier and the blacksmith don't create any of the weapons. You find or buy them all, the blacksmith is just improving or restoring them. | |

Kingdom of Loathing The game used to spoof this by giving each class a starting weapon that can be upgraded to an Epic Weapon, then Legendary Epic Weapon, then Ultimate Legendary Epic Weapon, but that was changed (now the Epic Weapon is actually a unique weapon found in the tomb of an ancient warrior, rather than being constructed by the player). It also spoofs this by having the Accordion Thief's ULEW have a legend about something that hasn't happened yet. "It's even whispered that Shelia the Creeper used it to assassinate the villainous Pope Flaunchett VIII, though it'll be a while before that can be confirmed, since the current Pope of the Kingdom of Loathing is Flaunchett VI." The pixel whip subverts it: "This legendary vampire-slaying whip has been in your family for generations. No, wait, I'm thinking of a different whip. This one was made out of brown pixels by a crazy guy in a shed in the woods." There is a deconstruction with the description of Trusty., the only weapon you're allowed to equip when playing as the Avatar of Boris. |
