Step 4: Imbuing Items

Imbuing an item is where the item starts getting really interesting. As you continue to refine your item, the item eventually gains capacity to be imbued with special imbued properties. A few types of items can even eventually be imbued multiple times. Just like refining, you can imbue an item by using monster parts that meet the imbued property’s requirements. For instance, if you want to imbue an item with fire, you’ll need parts from a fire monster or a monster with fire abilities. Just like with refining, as you reach certain thresholds, the imbued property will level up, potentially granting increased benefits. You can’t imbue a property on an item to be higher level than the item’s own level.
  Unlike refining, which only has a single option depending on the type of item, you can choose from several options when you imbue an item, and some of them have multiple upgrade paths, allowing you to customize your item to match your personal playstyle.
