Say you have a Keeper's Staff with an item id in the link of 6245. Your Keeper's Staff has a certain trait, giving it a suffix. So it is now called Keeper's Staff of Awesomeness. While questing, you pick up another Keeper's Staff of Awesomeness, but it has slightly different stats. It will still have the same item id in the link. (Though it will have a different instance id.) The next day, you pick up another Keeper's Staff, but this time, it is a Keeper's Staff of Sweetness. It, again, will still have the same item id of 6245 because it is still a Keeper's Staff.
