Any loot generated trinket can have up to 1 Major, 1 Moderate, and 1 Minor gearcraft imbues. (Note: The trinket must be a magical trinket, with spells on it. Non-magical trinkets cannot be imbued.) Attempt an imbue by first adding a full bag of salvage twice (one bag total) to an armature for the level of effect you wish to add. Majors max at 33% success rate (38% with the Charmed Smith augmentation). Moderates and minors can max at 100% with high enough skill/low work item/high work salvage.

Adding a major:

  1. Purchase a Major Gearcrafting Armature (cheapest from the quartermasters in the Faction Strongholds) and combine with one of the six types of gearcrafting salvage. (Add bag twice to complete the armature.)
  2. Combine the armature-salvage combination to a loot generated, magical trinket. Majors have a high chance of failure, maximum possible is 38% (with Charmed Smith, the imbue augmentation, otherwise maximum is 33%).

Adding a moderate:

  1. Purchase a Moderate Gearcrafting Armature (sold by many general merchandise shopkeeps) and combine with one of the six types of gearcrafting salvage. (Add bag twice to complete the armature.)
  2. Combine the armature-salvage combination to a loot generated, magical trinket. Moderates have a decent to high chance of success, maximum possible is 100%.

Adding a Minor:

  1. Purchase a Minor Gearcrafting Armature (sold by many general merchandise shopkeeps) and combine with one of the six types of gearcrafting salvage. (Add bag twice to complete the armature.)
  2. Combine the armature-salvage combination to a loot generated, magical trinket. Minors have a high chance of success, maximum possible is 100%.
