Do I save Charsi's Imbue for later?

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this but should I save Charsi's imbue ability for later? For example maybe wait until I get some high ilvl Diadems, then imbue them to potentially get some good stats? Or is it not worth it. Never known.

@Teebling Save it for later. The results are based on your level.

I will also note that if your struggling for some yellow item to start it's not a bad idea to use up your normal as you can always rush the quest with future characters.

high ilvl Diadems

Yep exactly. Use them all on Diadems for a chance at some GG items. Ppl typically imbue Diadems, Coronets , Circlets & Tiaras.

OR since 99% of them will come out as trash, i typically use some of mine on random gear like Javelins for leveling. Sometimes get a really GG early starting weapon that carries you through nightmare.

Charsi's Imbue Item Facts:
-Any unsocketed non-magical weapon or armor. (Rings, Amulets, Charms & Jewels do not work)
-Low Quality, cracked, crude, damaged or superior items will make no difference.
-Item level is calculated by (Char lvl + 4), regardless of its previous ilvl.
-However, due to its high item lvl, any Diadem can be potentially turned into a GG item even with a level 8 character
-An etheral item will remain etheral when imbued.

*Note: staff-mod generation, for eligible items, works differently.
Both number of skills and bonus to skills will increase with your char level.
In short, you will have much more chances to receive good staff-mods when imbuing

Yes! i typically use my Imbues on leveling weapons and they usually come out pretty great, for leveling gear that is. Sometimes i'll even get a GG leveling item that carries me through most of the game.

lmao I replied before even realizing it was you who was the OP. In nerd mode and not even reading names. I half-socketed a Spear shortly after launch trying to make Insight before my "oh, right" moment. The guy who just posted the New Players Guide. So don't feel bad.

Should i put this Imbue info in the new players guide you think?

Charsi imbue can put out some wild results. I remember putting a Scissors Katar in back when I was a new player and got a weapon that did like 100% additional damage and had like+300 AR and +50 cold damage on it or something. (This was 20 years ago and I still remember!) It was definitely nuts and that weapon was a godsend.

I was so proud of it I personalized it.

It was a total waste looking back now, but sometimes fun is the name of the game!
