The merchants and NPCs you find around the various Acts in Diablo 2 Resurrected will often reward you for your hard work. One such NPC by the name of Charsi is found in Act I at the Rogue Encampment. She’s the blacksmith of the town, and she’ll grant you the ability to imbue an item with magical properties if you retrieve something for her.

Players can imbue items in Diablo 2: Resurrected through one of the NPCs in Act 1. Imbuing upgrades a common item to a rare item, giving it more power and a random assortment of magical properties. This action can only be performed once per difficulty for a total of three times per character. Charsi in Act 1 has the ability to imbue items for players.

What is Imbue in Diablo 2 Resurrected?
Imbue is an ability used by the NPC “Charsi” to turn your common item into a rare item. When it becomes a rare item it also receives random magical properties. Since this is a very useful upgrade it is highly recommended to use it in the later game. That’s because you will most likely have some high-level items. The best use for Imbue is on using it on Diadems.

How to imbue objects in Diablo 2 Resurrected?
It is necessary to have the ability to apply this ability after having completed the mission "Tools of the Trade", this usually occurs in Act I, which makes it necessary to take charge of recovering Horadic Malus for Charsi, thereby implying:

Go to Outer Cloister in Act I and enter the Barracks:

•     We must find the room that tends to be guarded by the blacksmith.
•     We can choose to decide between ignoring or defeating the blacksmith.
•     Next we look for the Horaldic Malus in the guarded room, this is nothing more than an enchanted hammer that is usually used by Charsi.
•     Once we have this tool in our hands, it is necessary to return with Charsi so that he can allow us to imbue an object or weapon.

Diablo 2: Resurrected characters have top builds that are enhanced by high-quality gear and weapons. Imbuing is only available through the NPC Charsi, a blacksmith in the town of Act 1. Players can complete "Tools of the Trade" to unlock this ability up to three times per character, but it's recommended that players wait to use the ability until their character is at a higher level.

The bottom line is that the imbue becomes more useful the longer you save it because the higher-level items will have better stats. Many players would argue that the common Diadems are one of the best uses since they can roll plus skills and other great magical properties. If you want to use your imbue early in the game, try using it on a class-specific item.

Diablo 2: Resurrected is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
