Vela Glossary
Short explanations of words you'll see in chat and on the wiki — multiprofa, stars, rebirth, Books and Codexes, Raid Mark, Tempering, Ascension, branches, sockets, Sayha, Rifts, Echo — and client item names.
Chat on Vela is terse — and mostly in Russian: «взял 4★ за пять знаков» ("got a 4★ skill for five marks"), «закалил Лорда до 8» ("tempered my Lord gear to 8"), «реборн 112, жду Башню» ("rebirth 112, waiting for the Tower"). Here's what it all means, in alphabetical order, with links to the full articles. Where players use a Russian word in chat, it's given in quotes.

Item names in the client
The Essence client shows its own item names, and they cannot be changed: the client refuses to start with modified data files. So some Vela items carry their client names in your inventory, tooltips and on the exchange, while Vela windows and this wiki use the Vela names:
| On the wiki and in Vela windows | In the client inventory |
|---|---|
| Raid Mark | Boss' Accessory Fragment |
| Rebirth Book | Ancient Lesser Giant Book |
| Rebirth Codex | Giants' Coin |
| Transcendent Upgrade Stone | Incredible Enhancement Stone |
| Greater Upgrade Stone | Greater Upgrade Stone |
| Upgrade Stone Fragment | Transcendent Upgrade Stone Fragment |
| Rift Fragment | Rift Fragment (Time-limited) |
| Vela Coin | Jewel Coin |
| Immortality weapon | Demon King's … / … of Immortality |
Go by the icon and the description: Vela windows show the same icon next to the price as you see in your inventory.
