Load one of your builds or a community build, or build a loadout by hand, to see each item’s Item Power and your average IP from your live Destiny Board masteries.
A tool that adds up the Item Power (IP) of a full set of gear (helmet, chest, boots, cape, weapon and off-hand) and gives you the average. That average is the number the game uses to decide how strong your character is.
Group content and PvP comps often set a minimum IP before they let you in. This shows your real number before you load into the game, so you are not turned away or caught under-geared. It uses your actual character's skills once you sync, so the number matches the game instead of a rough guess.
Pick the gear for each of the six slots and set its tier, enchantment and quality. Your average IP shows in the middle, with a green tick when you clear your target. A two-handed weapon fills both weapon slots, so it counts twice, just like in game.
Item Power is the average across your six gear slots: head, chest, shoes, cape, main hand and off-hand. A two-handed weapon fills both weapon slots, so it counts twice. This calculator adds it up for you so the number matches the game.
Many groups and comps set a minimum Item Power before they invite you, often around 1,300 to 1,500 for common content and higher for harder content. Check your average here before you load in so you are not turned away under-geared.
Higher tiers, enchantments and quality all raise an item's IP, and your mastery and specialisation on the Destiny Board add more on top. Sync your character so the calculator counts your real masteries, which many rough estimates miss.
