This is a summary based on an older topic; I've included all the information here. There are several older topics, and this information is also available on other websites, so I don't know who to credit for the initial work. It's a list I've kept in Notepad for several years, so I decided to post it to help others.

If any other forum member wants to improve or comment on the information about the Embue quest, that would be very helpful. It's a quest that, as we know, is completed 3 times per character. People usually use Embue a lot in Cyclet because it doesn't have demanding character level requirements, but other listed items do. For example, an "Eth Sacred Armor" needs to be used in Imbue (of course, it can't be higher quality). Depending on the character's level, it might come with 0os , 1os or 2os, and the Ed% varies according to the character's level at the time of Imbue. Of course, 2os is always best, especially if the item has the "Repair Durability" attribute. Whoever manages to create one of these has a treasure.



Items commonly used for PvP build (gear) and of course can also be used for PvM.

This is an example that discusses the subject; I've already made a summary related only to the items. There's similar information on other websites, but it's difficult to know who the real author of the first tutorial is. I've used it a lot on D2LOD and it works perfectly.

I keep a lot of information such as gem bugs, calculations for poison builds and mathematical PSN scores (to know the amount of damage), for example, the "furyrabies" build (an old build) in D2LOD, I've reached 60k PSN damage, among other things. I've been keeping these notes in a .txt file for years to guide me in case I forget.
As I said, I showed a link to d2jsp as a reference, but at the time, to confirm the imbue issue, I searched in several different sources and on different websites (some sites that don't even exist anymore).

I made a lot of imbue spells for low-level characters; they're easier simply because it's easier to create an imbue spell on a level 40 character than on a level 95+ character. But if, for example, I were trying to create the imbue spell using Sacred Armor Eth with a level 40 character, the "ed%" could reach 200%.



Here, for example, I was trying to create some for LLD, luckily I managed to find some old conversations from 2022 on DS where I created some and the base I used. I even created a 2nd eth rep, but it didn't come with ed%, the attributes that will be added to the items vary a lot, like ed%FHR and others, as I said I've made these items in the past.

To be honest, it would be easier for you to get the item as a drop than to obtain it through the imbue, because with the skills you mentioned, it's very difficult. Normal farming would be a faster way to get drops, but you'd need a high-level character. For example, each character only allows 3 attempts, which is very difficult, so you'd have to create numerous high-level characters to make multiple attempts. That's why I say it's better to farm normally.

It's good to give preference to white characters to get those skills or spells; it's good that white characters can be used to equip a runeword.
