I'd like to know the reasoning on renaming it. Chitin sounds a lot cooler, as it's been in other RPGs. I'm just wondering why they felt the need to rename Shells.

I think I'm confused. :/

Maybe they renamed it because there will be different types of shells as crafting items in Factions? Even if that's the case, "Chitin Fragment" is a bit long :P

If anyone can go to a Materials Trader and see if shells are gone and "Chitin Fragment" is in its place, we'll know for sure whether it is a new item or not. If nobody has posted on that when I get home, I'll put up an SS or two.

Edit: LOL, Diablo.

Aww, I was secretly hoping they hadn't renamed Shells to Chitin Fragments. It doesn't really sound like anything you'd want to touch or collect

I think it suits it better. When I think of shells, I think of the beach. When I think of chitin, I think of giant dual-tailed scorpions.

LOL, when I thought of 'shells' I also thought of the beach. I had to look up what 'chitin' meant, but my first thought was 'excrement' or 'partially digested item' before I read the definition (exoskeleton of a crustacean, spider, or scorpion).

I wonder if they will rename Bleached Shells also? Meh.

you have named the first scam of Factions.

someone who has a stash of shells will sell the mark a limited number of shells that are so rare they are not even listed at the traders yet.

Nah, it looks like the change has been applied retroactively to all existing shells. I had some in my inventory before, their name is now changed.
