Except that, in practice, you can level in the Players X game, but you have to make a Charsi quest still-open game yourself to collect the Malus. Of course, since the whole point is to do the imbue for a higher level character, you could just wait until they want the imbue and they can have the half minute burden of waypointing to Inner Cloister, running/teleporting to the Malus and then town portaling you in.Ah, no.
I should have been clearer. Your clvl 30+ sorc with teleport and FO didn't imbue because she didn't turn in the Malus. She gives it to the Imbuee, who needs to get the elite item anyway. The sorc FOs the Smith et al and picks up the Malus and can do that forever, and really is an "Imbue Mule" similar to the Act2 staff game creator.
Yes, it does depend on how often you pick up an imbue candidate as to what lengths to go to for speed imbue chances. I don't know what ladder cow games will be like, but I used to scavenge old cow games for items very successfully in 1.09.
As for the Level 8 award, I would use a Players4 setting. It is not too difficult on the Realms to find a 3 player game. If shady tricks are allowed, getting Players8 is not difficult.
As for the Hellforge, it will be a better source for runes in 1.10 and I think there are unexplored aspects to it when involving mixes of players that have/have not completed the quest.
