Quality is a property of items, which is represented in-game by the color of the item's name and (in most cases) by a title prefixed to the item's name. An item can have only one quality, which is determined when the item is created except if user adds Strange quality to the item via Strangifier (Unique items change quality to Strange), extremely rare unbox of unusual strange item happens or in other rare circumstances. Quality is a purely cosmetic property, and has no effect on gameplay other than some additional on-screen messages - these messages usually relay succeeded operations with an item.
