Item Tiers

Items come in six different rarity tiers, giving them 0-5 mods (plus any intrinsic mods the base item has). Crafted gear can be crafted as "max-enchanted". Usually the max-enchanted recipe requires and additional rare gem like or . This will give the item one extra mod, e.g. a second-from-the-top tier item which normally has 4 mods would have 5 if max-enchanted. This allows an item to reach 6 modifiers. Augmentation (or Shamanic Infusion) can add one more to reach the upper limit of 7 (looted gear, which can't be max-enchanted can only reach 6 at most).

As can be seen on the illustration, the properties on higher tier items can make a dramatic difference to your character's potential depending which skills you specialize in, from increasing damage output, to the resilience of your pets, lowering the cost of your spells, and even increase your Sprint speed!

Item Tier	Properties
Common	Those are common, basic items.
Uncommon	One extra power, chosen as appropriate for the difficulty of the monsters.
Rare	Two modifiers.
Exceptional	Three modifiers.
Epic	Four modifiers.
Legendary	Five modifiers.

When a creature is slain, a special effect and distinctive sound indicates that there is Rare, Epic or Legendary loot on them.

Augments

Finding loot in Project: Gorgon is exciting because the game uses a "random treasure" system which is more commonly found in ARPG games. Players can occasionally strike gold with an amazing, game-balance-destroying item every now and again.^[1]

For instance, if you’re an Unarmed fighter, you’ll love gauntlets that make your Punch attack heal you. You punch a lot, so that’s a huge power boost and very noticeable. On the other hand, you may prefer gauntlets that cause your Punch to do extra damage, or that cause your Cobra Strike to stun more reliably. But an amazing pair of gauntlets would do all three things.

Augments come in levels. For instance, the first tier of Health-Enchantment gives you +5 max health. The next tier gives you +10 health. And so on.

Here are a few examples of augments currently found in alpha:

<ability> attacks heals you for 120

<ability> causes your Sprint speed to increase by 10 for 10 seconds

<ability> also restores 30 armor to you

<ability> removes ongoing Poison effects (up to 30 dmg/sec)

Stacking Effects

All augments, flat or percent damage increase, stack. Augments with a chance to proc each roll their chances and may proc separately.

How Skill Augments Apply

Skill augments such as "Scintillating Flame restores 20 Power" work as long as the item is equipped, irrelevant if the item's associated skill is currently in use. So for example if the aforementioned mod was on a Bow, but you do not have "Archery" active, the mod still applies if you have Fire Magic in use.

Legacy Information

Treasure Generation

• "In October 2016, the dev. changed the gear system to make single skill gear legacy. Now gear is two skill gear or one skill with generics."

Lucky Belts

Lucky Belts used to attune the random-treasure system to specific skills. Wearing the proper belt made it so that the loot you find was much more likely to enhance your choice of primary and secondary skills. This feature was changed in the 2015-12-06 patch. See the Belt article for more historical information.
