Imbuements can make your life in Tibia a lot easier and make it possible for you to hunt monsters and spawns you might not be able to hunt without them. There are a lot of items that have imbuements slot, they vary between 1 slot up to 3 slots per item. The most used imbuements are mana leech, life leech, critical strike and skill boost (meele fighting, distance fighting and magic level). Imbuements last for 20 houres and will start counting down whenever you are in fight, the only exception is the featherweight imbuement and speed imbuement, it will count down as soon as the backpack or boots are equipped.
To unlock tier 1 and tier 2 imbuements all you have to do is to hand in 5
Heavy Old Tome
to
Albinius
in the Halls of Hope north of Thais.
This will also start the
Forgotten Knowledge Quest
. Note: for tier 2 imbuements you need to have premium.
To unlock the tier 3 imbuements (powerful) you need to finish all portals of the
Forgotten Knowledge Quest
(no need for the final boss) and finish the
Heart of Destruction Quest
. The capacity imbuement is available since the winter update 2017 and the powerful version is unlocked after finishing the
Dangerous Depths Quest
In the list below you will see what quest or boss you have to finish/kill to unlock said imbuement.
It's pretty simple. Look for a
Imbuing Shrine
, these are located in the ever city at the temple. Simply use the shrine and click on the item you want to imbue. A new window will pop up and you will see the item with the amount of slots and you can select which imbuement you want to put on it. You cant imbue every item with every imbuement, you can find out when using the
Imbuing Shrine
. You need to have the items needed in your backpack or your supply stash and enough money in your bank account, the stronger the imbuement is, the more items and money is needed for it. I advise you to pay the extra to get a 100% success rate as most items are not that cheap.
Costs to imbue:
basic (t1) 5'000
Gold Coin
gold (90% success rate)
intriciate (t2) 25'000
Gold Coin
(70% success rate)
powerful (t3) 100'000
Gold Coin
(50% sucess rate)
As mentioned before, it's better to pay for the 100% success rate but you will have to pay an extra fee for that:
That is really up to you but in general, you can go with the following list. It always depends how many slots are available on the item. There will be some general recommendations a bit later in this guide.

Quest/Boss:
Dangerous Depths Quest
Some imbuements are situational but in general I want to give you a short list of each vocation what imbuements you normally should have. Of course that depends on money, if you have it unlocked or someone can imbue it for you. Those are for hunting, if you really need the imbuements everywhere is up to you, as for bosses, you might just want to go full damage with only critical hit and skill boost wherever you can as Knight or Paladin and as Mage full magic level.
Distance Weapon
Mana Leech
Life Leech
Critical Hit
Weapon
Mana Leech
Life Leech
Critical Hit
Shield
Elemental Protection
Helmet
Mana Leech
Magic Level
Rods and Wands
Mana Leech

Critical Hit
Note: for Mages I recommend Mana Leech on lower level, it extends your hunts and makes them cheaper than using
Ultimate Mana Potion
. Once you can carry more than enough Mana Potions you will want to go on Magic Level for better healing and damage.
