Imbuing Items

[Norks]

Just a quick question: In everyones opinion, which is the best level to imbue items at? I hear people saying 'level xx is the best' but I'm not sure what to do. Obviously I guess that imbuing at level 7 or something wont be very good, but whats the best level really? Thanks in advance

There is a whole thread on this in the sticky on guides but to save you the bother here it is -

Imbue at the highest level you can. Lvl 67 or beyond preferably for the chance to get mods like +2 skills.

Level 67 isn't a good guideline for imbuing levels, though some people think so because of +2 amulets.

Information on modifier levels can be found here:
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/magic/pre.shtml

Modifier level 90 for amulets no matter what skill (though these obviously can't be imbued)

Level req is 3/4 of the highest modifier level (or the level req of the base item, whichever is higher). That information seems more LoD oriented, because +2 Paladin weapons and shields require level 58, while sorc/nec/barb/zon weapons with +2 require level 42.
