Despite information you may see to the contrary, you can unravel all the way to 120. I just did this myself. Alacrity Scrolls really helped from about 105 onward and greater/major/legendary artifacts helped with gains. If you have lots of time can just work GGS, log in for the gain [under alacrity scroll] log out and lather/rinse repeat under alacrity to 120 easy.
While gaining skill by unravelling is great I didnt like it since it seems to random on what items I can unravel at lower skill level (75+). Would be great if mousing over the item would say if you can unravel it yet or not. I have lesser magic items I cant unravel vs greater magic items I can unravel... Property weight should only affect how much residue you get.
I'll have to try what Kronal said, looks easier then doing L2-3 maps and getting half or more items I cant unravel.
Actually let’s talk about your title a comprehensive guide to imbuing. This is actually only half of the story. You want to learn also about reforging.
I tell you the truth, tis better to do 10 damage on the right target than 100 damage on the wrong target.
