Imbuiting - replacing properties. Can anyone explain?

[Vre13]

Hi everyone,
Sorry for wasting yours time, but I found, that after imbuiting one item property, I cant add another one - it just replaces property added before to item.Item still have plenty of property weight, its used only 3 of 5 properties. Can anyone explain - does imbuiting allows to add just 1 property? My imbuiting skill is 96.

What you adding and what it offer to replace? Is it slayer/hit spell/hit area/skill bonus property?

 

[Barry Gibb]

There are several properties that an item can only have one type of. Which will result in an over-write of the previous property. Here are the properties:

• Hit Area
• Hit Spell
• Slayer
• Skill Bonus
  (in the same group, there are five groups of skills, see here Skills and Combinations Possible on Jewelry)

Imbuing follows the same rules for other magic items (runic and looted).

If the property you are trying to imbue is in the same type as a property already present on the item, it will replace that property.

Stayin Alive,

BG

good to know, that means if i find an almost ok junk item with some crappy skill on it i can maybe choose a different skill to replace it?
does that add double points or delete the old points?

I replaced 1 music to 10 magery. They both in same skill group.

How do you change a skill to another in the same skill group?

Like it's say I have a +13 Bushido, +13 DCI ring. Pretty cool right?

Well let's say the toon I want it to go to doesn't have Bushido because it's a stealther or mage, How would I change +13 Bushido to +13 Eval Int or Anatomy?

Thanks

You just pick the new skill, and amount, and Imbue. Simple as that. The old skill is deleted, replaced by the new one at the new skill level.

I've got some nice jewelry with +24 to +26 combined in 2 tamer or 2 bard skills, that I'm planning to add Magery or a third Bard skill to (in some cases replacing existing Music skill as a 3rd skill with Magery, as my character is 120 natural Vet, and 110 music, 120 with mantle, and don't need vet or music)

So if I have +Bushido on a dropped ring, and I try to add +Eval int, it just knows they are in the same skill group and then replaces Bushido with Eval Int at the intensity I specify? I don't have to specify any group # or imbue slot #?

Cool

Thank you Basara.. you continue to be a fountain of information!
