Currently in Alpha, Project: Gorgon's loot mechanics have similarities to ARPGs. There seems to be few "set" items with fixed properties, associated with a specific dungeon or boss. Instead, high tier items have largely random mods that could be anywhere from a "bad roll" to an "amazing item". As can be seen on in the illustration, the properties on higher high tier items can make a dramatic difference to your a character's potential depending which skills you specialize inon ability specialization, from increasing damage output, to or the resilience of your pets, to lowering the cost of your spells, and or even increase your Sprint increasing [[Haste|sprint speed]] !
====Stacking Effects====All augments, flat or percent damage increase, stack. Augments with the same name don’t stack. So you might find a helmet and a shirt that have “Enchanted Punch Damage +5″, but wearing both doesn’t give you a +10 bonus, just a +5 bonus. However, many abilities come in several flavors. For instance, there might be Enchanted Punch Damage (magically enhancing your fists), Comfort-Bonus Damage (you can hurt people more because your armor is so comfortable), chance to proc each roll their chances and Placebo Effect Bonus (your punches do extra damage because you think they will). These have different names, so they all stackmay proc separately.<ref name="blog1"/>
====How Skill Mods on Items Apply====; [[Armor]]Skill mods such as "Scintillating Flame restores 20 Power" on an item work as long as the item is equipped, irrelevant if the item': [[Belt]]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. <!-- hard to describe! -->: Boots: Chest: Legs: Headgear: Gloves: Neck: Ring: Earring: Navel Gem

Note this may still change a lot during alphararity tiers, giving them 0-5 [[Treasure Effects|mods]] (plus any intrinsic mods the base item has).

When a creature is slain, a special effect and distinctive sound indicates that there is '''Rare''', '''Epic''' or '''Legendary''' loot on them.
It is possible for an item to reach more than 5 treasure effects. Crafted gear can be crafted as "max-enchanted". Usually the max-enchanted recipe requires an additional rare gem like {{Item|Winterprize}} or {{Item|Vervadium}}. Using the max-enchanted recipe will give the item one extra mod. For example, a second-from-the-top ({{ItemRarity|p}}) tier item which normally has 4 mods would have 5 if max-enchanted. This allows an item to reach at most 6 modifiers upon being crafted (in the case that it is {{ItemRarity|Legendary}}). [[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).
