Void8% mana leech25 Rope Belts, 25 Silencer Claws, 5 Some Grimeleech Wings

Leech has diminishing returns when one attack hits several creatures, so the listed percentage is exact only against a single target.

Questions, answered

What are imbuements in Tibia?

Imbuements are temporary bonuses you add to equipment with imbuement slots at an imbuing shrine. There are 24 of them: elemental damage, life and mana leech, critical hit, elemental protection, skill boosts, speed, capacity and paralysis deflection. Each one comes in three tiers: Basic, Intricate and Powerful.

How much does an imbuement cost?

The gold fee is 7,500 gold for Basic, 60,000 for Intricate and 250,000 for Powerful, plus the creature products for that tier. Clearing an imbuement from an item costs 15,000 gold.

How long does an imbuement last?

20 hours of use. Combat imbuements such as Vampirism, Void and Strike only count down while you are in combat with the item equipped. Non-combat ones such as Swiftness and Featherweight count down whenever the item is equipped.

What do I need for Powerful Vampirism?

25 Vampire Teeth, 15 Bloody Pincers and 5 Piece of Dead Brain, plus the 250,000 gold fee. It gives 25% life leech for 20 hours of combat.

What do I need for Powerful Void?

25 Rope Belts, 25 Silencer Claws and 5 Some Grimeleech Wings, plus 250,000 gold. It gives 8% mana leech.

What do I need for Powerful Strike?

20 Protective Charms, 25 Sabreteeth and 5 Vexclaw Talons, plus 250,000 gold. It gives a 5% critical hit chance with 40% extra critical damage.

How do I unlock imbuements?

Complete the first part of the Forgotten Knowledge Quest. That unlocks Basic for free accounts, and Basic and Intricate for premium accounts. Powerful imbuements need further quests and a premium account.

Can I put two imbuements on one item?

Yes, if the item has more than one slot, but never the same type twice, and a weapon can only hold one elemental damage imbuement at a time.
