Imbuing Guide

[N49ATV]

Hey guys,

Gonna start this I guess. Wondering if anyone has a guide. I saw one on stratics, but there was a million opinions, etc etc etc.

So how have you done it. And how do you get the PS?

0 to 25 unravel items.

Before imbuing you need to know that you can max get 10 succesful imbues on an item, after that you wont gain from that item UNLESS!!! you are in Rot! then you will still gain, so ones you hit rot you can actually just use one weap.

25 to 35 add one property to a none excep weapon or piece of armor, my suggestion would be luck or DI since those are the cheapest gems.

35 to 45-50 Add one property low on it to start with and then add another property again id say use DI and luck, if you have to buy the gems in the store this is gonna be the cheapest gems.

45, 50 to 70 will be have some daggers or any other cheap weapon made excep that will provide you with DI already on it then add another property, if your succes rate gets to high then add one property low at first and then start adding a third one too, perhaps you will have to lower the DI abit since that usually is around 43 on a crafted excep weapon.


The trick is as when ever it gets too easy for you (best gaining is when you have 51-62 succes rate, at least if you go by the crystal ball of knowledge, some migh argue you use less resources if you have 60-70 chance, but ill leave that up to you) is to raise one property and keep the main gainer low on resources.

F.eks.

You imbue daggers, but you have to use like 4-5 gems to get a raise on it cause of the property you wanna add has to be high for you to get a gain. Instead of doing that then do one of two things.

1# add another property as low as possible that will make your chance lower to get a succes and there by harder which will result in you having to add the other property at a lower cost and there by saving you resources. So instead of trying to ad luck at 50 by adding 1 or more fire resist ones, you can after that just add luck at perhaps 5 instead of 50 which saves huge ammount of resources.

2# almost the same as the first. Just raise another property ones which it might already have on it and then go back to the cheaper property where you wont have to use as many now as before.

If you Add a property it will be harder for you to add yet another and there by lowering your succes rate. The higher the property the harder it is to add, the higher the added property the hard it is to add a new. And the trick is to keep the things you wanna gain with as low as possible even if that requires you to add a high property first.

If main explanation is hard to understand, try catch me and ill explain my theory another way.

Everyone has their own way of raising imbuing and some people just steal ideas from others LOL...The way i did it and it was way cheaper than anyone else's was simple. I used my crafter to go out and farm toxic slith. Ya thats right i said crafter, did i mention my crafter also has 115 magery? Anyways, this allowed me to do a few things all at once...First, it raised my queen's loyalty rating to Noble (which allows for placement of house in Ter-Mur and use of the queen's soulforge for maximum imbue success chance). Second, i unravelled everything looted off the corpses which gave me massive amounts of residue and enchanted essence. Third, i never used up any resources making daggers and stuff, i simply would use a looted item from monster kills. For instance, lets say you loot a scnp kryss mage wep that also have some other property. Maybe this would give me a decent success rate for imbuing luck or DI for gains. So i used that item. When this item was worthless, i simply unravelled it. Kept doin this until i was at 120 imbue. Took me, i dunno, about 10 days to get to 120 i think and i ended up with massive resources to boot. Hope this helps.

0-25; I unraveled lots of crap.

25-35 or so; I made daggers on a human char with 0 blacksmith and ablack smith talisman; the goal was to have non-exceptional daggers.  I imbued luck; I looked for between 48-61 success chance; I always managed to keep gem and residue ata 1/1 ratio.

35-60 I made daggers with 120 blacksmith and no armslore (35 di daggers); repeated the above process.

60-70 I made regular exceptional armslore daggers and again stuck with imbuing luck.  

If you want to save residue you can unravel each dagger after you imbue it once and spend the ingots to make a new dagger everytime you imbue rather than imbue 10x on one dagger.  In hindsight I probably would have done this as I wound up having to farm residue mid training a few times and i had plenty of ingots laying around.

I probably went through close to 2k or so citrines this way.

You get the power scroll by doing the essense quest the gargoyle next to the termour town sqaure gives you; get 10 115 imbue power scrolls, put them in a scroll binder, and boom instant 120.

Tib, in following your guide, i dont seem to be able to do it. Since when I make a 120 smith dagger, I have 36% DI. If I try for luck, i get 15.1% success for 1 luck. I cant do DI since I have no ehanced essence from unravel, only residue. Hmm, maybe ill try unraveling the stuff I couldnt before

[Tiberius]

what skill level are you at?  Sounds like you need to make the non-exceptional ones; just use a human char that has 0 blacksmith and a Talisman for the make ( a max make, 0 exp chance inc is best).

[N49ATV]

I was using human with 0 skill, and a 17% tally.

Im not at just below 70 and outta residue :/ so the farming will conintue.

what u need to do is read my previous post...

Your way will work, mine was faster and relatively cheap.  Mook from TnT and pretty much everyone in SP! has done it that way.

You are just below 70 imbue?  You should be having to use regular lore gm daggers by now to get gains.
Gimme an exact figure to work with:).

[N49ATV]

Got residue, and into rot now. (just hit 70 tonight)

I was finding that I couldnt follow your guide, as with what you guys say to use, my success were much higher. Or i couldnt come close to using 1:1. I got it now. perhaps they tweaked it again. Since they did get rid of craftable relics.

Your's was not faster! Nah, nah, n-nah, nah...I hit noble loyalty far faster than you did. I know this cause i was thee only one using the queen's forge for almost a week. I used zero ingots. And i got well into the thousands in both residue and enchanted essence. So there!

I did not even bother with the queens soulforge till a week after I hit 120:).  I should have farmed sliths instead of oni's on my residue runs.
