Strongbox names + ingame description

Instead of just assuming that every player knows which strongbox drops what,
the strongboxes should say in their implicit what they actually drop.

Some are relatively clear in name and purpose,
others relatively arbitrary

Arcanist's Strongbox, sounds like it would drop blue int based gems

Armourer's Strongbox, obviously drops armour

Artisan's Strongbox, honestly as a non native english speaker I don't know what artisan is, I know it from stardew valley, so it sounds like it has something to do with food, pine cones, mushrooms or wild fruits and vegetables

Blacksmith's Strongbox, sounds like it will drop items with quality already on the item, and I think it does?

Cartographer's Strongbox, maps obviously

Diviner's Strongbox, divination cards obviously

Gemcutter's Strongbox, gems or gemcutters prisms probably? definitly gems

Jeweller's Strongbox, rings and amulets obviously, but for new players it would seem weird that it drops belts, as they are not jewelry in the kalandra sense

Large Strongbox, probably like a normal strongbox but more quantity and maybe more quality?

Ornate Strongbox, hell knows what that means, as a non native english speaker, ornate is only used for furniture and maybe antique things, sounds like I'll get furniture or useless vases that break easily

Strongbox, probably a bit of everything? hope it can drop chaos orbs or divines

Unique, hell knows what those drop, they all look weird and afterwards it's not even clear why I should have done the encounter in the first place, I killed a lot of slowly spawning rats or spiders just to get, basically a normal strongbox? Or a unique that is worthless, not even 1c because it drops from that strongbox and way to many are created by it

Vaal Reliquary, didn't even know that one is considered a strongbox, but the wiki says so, actually a good quality strongbox, 10/10 after doing ssf once and hc once, I do all vaal side areas because I love the vaal versions of stuff I didn't even know had one

I'm party dyslexic.
I forget which one drops what and I don't want to open wiki each time I see one,
and artisan and arcanist both start with "ar" and both have [tisan] letters in them in a different permutation,
so I either I am not exited, because I think it will drop armour scraps, then I open it and get good currency and I'm frustrated I didn't alch it,
or I get excited, alch it and it drops more armour scraps than before, which generally just makes me less excited about the arcanist ones

Also what about adding a small chance for divines or catalysts in artisan strongboxes, so they are not worse than most others?

TL;DR: maybe just add an explicit to each strongbox,
so you actually know what it does,
or rename them to be more clear,
and not associated with weird stuff unrelated to PoE
