Hello everyone, I'm Richard the creator of Tower Ghost for Destiny and I was wondering if it's possible via the API to determine the in-depth stats for an item, for example let's say Helmet has a split stat roll of 50 Int / 55 Strength and when toggled in-game the stat becomes 56 / 49, is there any way for me to query what both values could possibly be? Currently the API only provides me the current actual value. Thank you

So, we provide a "ballpark" range through the DestinyInventoryItemDefinitions - the "minimum" and "maximum" values in the "stats" property, as well as within the "sources" property which tries to break it down by level and quality. The unfortunate problem is that these can never be 100% accurate - partially because the number of actual combinations is so staggering that the Items database would inflate to unusable size if we were to list every permutation, and partially because there are things that can happen to actual instances of items that we cannot account for on a definition level (for example, infusing). We do have a backlog item to try and provide you "valid combinations" of possibilities - for example, some items give you either: STR + INT *or* INT + DISCIPLINE *or* .... And right now we just show you the overall mins and maxes without regard to these combinations. I'd like to expose this, but we've got a large backlog of higher priority tasks to get to before we get to it unfortunately. Stay tuned here though, you'll hear it here first if we end up returning that extra data!

Edited by lowlines: 1/14/2016 11:35:17 PMI don't believe they have exposed that information at this point. I also recall reading once somewhere that despite perks being the same across weapons (edit - i meant gear), they can be custom tweaked for a given item so say if you wrote a calculator for one item it might not return correct values for another.
