Imbuements
Imbuements are legendary powers that improve skills, progression, defenses, gold gain, or special character mechanics. They appear as colored power text below items.
How Imbuements Work
Ranks
Rank 5 versions are stronger than Rank 3 versions. Rank X is reserved for special powers such as CursedOne[RX].
Player vs Monster Effects
Some powers work on players, some work on monsters, and some work on both. PvP values may be nerfed for balance when stated.
Some imbuements improve skills directly, while others change how your character progresses, survives, earns gold, or interacts with EXP.

VIP Gold Bonus
Gold[R3] and Gold[R5] require active VIP status to provide their extra gold pickup benefit.
PvP Balance
Radius-based powers such as Snow, StrandedMonster, and FTAoE are nerfed in PvP where stated.
TrojansTouch Activation
Both weapon slots must hold eligible one-handers with the same active TrojansTouch rank. A shield counts as a separate weapon category. One imbued weapon, mixed ranks, or a two-handed weapon grants no bonus.
