Not to derail this thread but can you explain to me step by step how you make those weapons? Items used and such? If its too much I understand. About to try imbueing with my crafter and those are exactly what i want.
Not Derailing at all. I do not suggest pofing to 130 Durability and then enhancing with DC though. That was just to prove it could be done after the weapons have taken a beating down to 130/130.
Those are Non Exceptional Weapons. Which means they get -50 Imbuing weight. BUT it frees up the Damage increase slot without having to use a whetstone. On two handed weapons this means 550% Imbuing weight total. I find this is more than enough for most weapons.
To make these I Have a crafter with 80.0 Blacksmithing. You don't want your blacksmithing to be too much higher because you start getting the Higher percent to make exceptional weapons. 80 gives you 80/20 normal/exceptional.
You want to craft the weapon with iron ingots, save the non exceptional ones and then using a shadow runic hammer while near a soulforge you will reforge.

Grand
Inspired ( Exquisite of Quality)

It will take a few hammers.
Once you get your 100% Elemental weapons, you want to POF them up to 255/255 and imbue them with the mods you want.
