Item ID, when used on an item, will tell you what imbuing components the item can be unraveled into.

No, it really doesn't have much of a use, honestly. Most folks seem to just unravel everything - they don't rely on item ID to decide whether or not to unravel, in most cases.

Arms lore is a must for crafters. Arms lore adds damage increase to exceptionally crafted weapons, as well as extra resistances on exceptionally crafted armor.

If you're planning to make a crafter, arms lore is a must-have, but you're probably ok without item ID.

Item ID , Taste ID , And For. Evaluation are probably the most useless skills.

This is true for Blacksmithing, but I can find no reference to it giving a bonus to an Artificer. I'm working on my Artificer template and need to have a definite answer to this.

Thanks

Yes, indeed. With GM arms lore, your exceptionally-made bows will have at minimum 40 di.

It gives the advantage in that the items will have a higher intensity with Arms Lore, so you get better gains and better unravel with Exp items.

I already get 40 di without arms lore? aah haaa! but I got 43 di with 72 arms lore! that will be nice to gm !! lol
Sorry, should say minimum 45 di at GM. Also gives +5 random resists to armor at GM arms lore.

Again, I assume you're referring to an item MADE by a BLACKSMITH that will have higher intensity - and that THESE will give a better unravel by the Artificer. But the Arms Lore skill is needed ONLY for the BLACKSMITH and NOT for the Artificer, right?

Arms lore is not needed for the artificer. If all you're doing on your toon is imbuing, 120 imbuing is all you need.

If you want to benefit offensively from the imbuing skill, you will also want mysticism and eval int.

So , it's kind of like... Scribe for Magery in a sense??

But Imbuing for Mysticism ?

Well, from my understanding (the system is a bit complicated), eval int is to magery as eval int and imbuing is to mysticism. One specific benefit I can think of atm is that imbuing makes your rising colossuses (i.e., mysticism summon) more powerful/effective.
