User:Immortalbob/Guides/Guide to Imbuing

Overview

This guide will explain the different types of imbues, how they work, and how to apply them effectively.

Armor Imbues

There are three types of imbues available for armor and shields. These imbues add +1 to your total Melee, Missile, or Magic Defense per piece of armor. These imbues can stack, and are effective up to a maximum of +10 defense (9 armor slots + shield).

Just like weapon imbues, these imbues come with up to a 33% chance of landing on the target (38% with the Charmed Smith augmentation).
