Iq?

How do I get IQ points? Is there a leaderboard? Is there a maximum amount?

Hey! You get IQ points by submitting gear to an artist's page. This can be as simple as finding a photo of someone you like, using their preferred equipment. Check their Instagram accounts or Facebook pages and you may find something. If there are any artists you're into that not many people know about, start with them. That way you're sure none of the info is being repeated!

Find or add the artist/band, add equipment as well as evidence and a short description, then submit it! You can also connect your social media and soundcloud for some easy IQ points. Click the button with you IQ next to it, then go to "about", then "GearIQ" to do this!
