Diablo 2 Resurrected can look simple on the surface but has a lot of underlying mechanics that players have to learn if they wish to push their characters to their limits. One of these mechanics that you will need to understand is the imbue mechanic. While it is simple to understand, knowing which items provide the best bonuses and how item, quality, and character level all play a part will make the process a lot easier. If you want to have high-end D2R Items quickly, you can basically buy any D2R Item from Rpgstash.com.
Let’s jump into everything you need to know about Imbueing.
What Is Imbue in Diablo 2 Resurrected?
Imbue in Diablo 2 Resurrected allows you to imbue or “enchant” a normal (white) item. The item imbued will be upgraded into a rare item. This method is convenient if you are trying to get a good piece of endgame gear. However, this only has a limited amount of uses. Also, only normal (white) items can be imbued.
If the item you want to be imbued is magic, rare, a set, or socketed then it won’t work. Jewelry items also aren’t an option. Same goes for Unique D2 items. What about Ethereal items? Sorry those won’t work either. How to repair Ethereal items D2? Sadly, these can’t be repaired at all either, and trying to imbue or personalize the item won’t work, despite what some might have said.
So finding the right normal item is even more important. Some normal items, like wands, can still come with affixes as well. However, when an item is imbued, it completely rerolls the item and doesn’t keep the stats it had before. Before you can imbue an item, first you need to complete a side quest.
How To Unlock Diablo 2 Imbue?
To unlock the Charsi imbue option, you need to complete the Tools of the Trade Diablo 2 quest. This quest is simple. You need to find the Horadric Malus for Charsi. So, where is the Horadric Malus in Diablo 2 Resurrected? The item is in the Barracks, guarded by The Smith. Once you have the Horadric Malus and return it to Charsi, she will imbue an item for you and the imbue Diablo 2 quest will be completed.
You don’t have to imbue an item at this moment. You can save the Diablo 2 Tools of the Trade quest for as long as you like. This is the best option. As I stated earlier, you only have a limited amount of uses. You can only imbue an item once per difficulty. Meaning you can imbue an item three times per character, once on Normal, Nightmare, and Hell.
You can of course create another character to imbue an item, but character level also plays a part if you want the best affixes on an item.
How Does Character Level Effect Imbue Items?
If you want the best affixes an item can offer you will want a higher-level character. There are some very specific exceptions, but for the most part, you will want to be at least level 94 so the items can have a chance to get the highest affixes.
So how does it work exactly? It is simple. When you imbue an item, it will take your character level and increase it by 4. That number will be the item level for the enchanted item. This increases your chances to earn better affixes, but this will also depend on the base item and its quality level. Quality level is independent of item level.
What Are The Best Items In Diablo 2 Resurrected To Imbue?
Not all items are created equal in Diablo 2 Resurrected. Certain armors can only come with certain affixes. For example, magic or rare boots will never have increased attack speed, but magic and rare gloves can. Knowing which type of item to imbue will help you find the best-in-slot item for your character. Also, these items can be worth a lot to other players, making it useful to use Diablo 2 Charsi.
Diadem (Circlet)
Diadem is an elite version of the Circlet. It is considered one of the best items to imbue because it is the only helm that can spawn with the +2 to Class Skills stat. It is also important because you can imbue this item on a newly created character. The Diadem has a high quality level, meaning it can come with any affix that is available for Circlets, even when imbued at low levels.
Most people want faster cast rate, increased run/walk speed, all resistances, and +2 to Class Skills on a Diadem. These are the best affixes that will help increase your damage and hit certain breakpoints. If you can get some high-rolled stats of these affixes, many players would be willing to trade some high runes for them.
Exceptional and Elite Gloves
Demonhide Gloves/Bramble Mitts and Sharkskin Gloves/Vampirebone Gloves are popular choices. Gloves don’t need to have higher item levels if you want the essential affixes. Most people want +2 to Javelin and Spear skills along with increased attack speed and some resistance.
Exceptional and Elite Boots
Most boots are worth imbuing at Charsi, especially if you want to try and get triple resistances. Depending on how much strength your character currently has, Scarabshell Boots or Boneweave Boots might be the best option. The best boots you want will have increased run/walk speed, resistances to fire, cold, and lightning, and life or faster hit recovery.
Conclusion
In short, if you were wondering what to imbue with Charsi Diablo 2, then you can’t go wrong with the Diadem. However, it will depend on your character’s needs. Imbuing with Charsi in Diablo 2 Resurrected can grant you some powerful items. But in most cases, the items are likely going to be junk. It’s all RNG, so don’t think you will get something useful every time.
