I was checking random words for their section ID for a specific rare item drop in Phantasy Star Online and ended up with that. I don't remember what the ID or item was that I wanted

I just used trailing spaces to change ID as needed without having to change the name. That would still only give half of the possible ID's for a given base name (iirc, spaces had a value of 2, and the sum of all characters were used to determine what the ID was, so you'd need to throw an odd-valued character in there to access the other half), but it dramatically cut down on the necessary creativity.

That said, I never really liked the Section ID system. I get trying to promote trading by making it so a given player had to trade to get certain items (or make alts and play for longer), but the different ID's were never going to be balanced and that meant anyone going in blind had a pretty decent chance of being screwed out of getting personally-useful drops and not having anything worth trading.
