[[File:Items (example of a purple item).jpg|thumb|right|335px|An example of a an {{ItemRarity|Purple }} item . Notice the two intrinsic mods (alpha buildto Inventory Slots and Sprint Speed)listed in white, and the four (due to its rarity tier) additional mods listed in green.]]Items appear to come in six different "qualities". 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).

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]] !

For a full list of 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, check 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}}). [[List of Treasure EffectsAugmentation]] (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).
