Item Power & Quality
Item Power (IP) is Albion's single power number — it scales your damage, health and healing together.
Where IP comes from
- Base tier: T4 = 700 IP, +100 per tier (T8 = 1100).
- Enchantment: +100 IP per level (.1–.4).
- Quality: Normal +0 / Good +20 / Outstanding +40 / Excellent +60 / Masterpiece +100.
- Destiny Board: Mastery +0.2 IP/level, Specialization +2 IP/level (per item). Food buffs and item type (Normal < Artifact < Royal < Avalonian) add more.
What IP does
- Roughly +9.18% combat power per 100 IP — so a T4.3 set (~1000 IP) performs close to flat T7.
- IP is averaged across all equipped pieces, so one weak slot drags the whole set down.
Soft caps
- Corrupted Dungeons, Hellgates and some Mists CAP item power, so cheap .1/.2 gear stays competitive there — no need to risk your best set.
- Outside capped content, higher IP always helps, but the marginal gain shrinks the higher you go.
