Imbuements

The 5 main imbuements, clockwise from the top: Chaos, Solar, Shadow, Greed, Flora

Imbuements are items used to modify the conditions of Lost Zone expeditions. Imbuements will cause Mutators to affect the Lost Zone, with their effects dependent on which imbuements are chosen. Up to two imbuements can be active, with their effects combining to create a new mutator. Three of the same imbuement can also be used. In addition to the imbuement effects, mutated Lost Zones will have altered rewards, enemies, mechanics, and environmental hazards. Rewards altered by mutators will be unique to those imbuements.

During Lost Zone Expeditions, imbuements can also be offered to an Imbuement Chalice, which will provide the party with a buff for the duration of the expedition.

Currently, there are 6 imbuements, with one being event-exclusive: Shadow, Flora, Solar, Chaos, Greed, and Everfrost (Eventide).
