1.23 Imperial Event

Has anyone seen a NPC in any of the camps or the cities shouting about the invasions?


Anywho, made a little summary in first post. If anything new pops up, please share it

Seems the imperials are going after the strongholds?

I can't wait to get Imperially decked out! Allllll the healing magic potency. >:)

Finally a reason to log back on.

Event ended. :(

So how long was it in total? like 4 hours straight?

One of my party members (small party of 4) just had the Tricorne drop into his loot list. We had claimed no ??? Elites or Magiteck, and definitely didn't kill any. We killed a bunch of level 50 Imperials near Dragonhead, and when all the elites were dead, he got the drop.

Weird.

We fought normal level 50 imperials for over 30 minutes, but didn't see any sign of the Magitek Vanguard.
Now it's up to us adventurers to discover the spawn pattern. /psych

Another fun event, a good addition before A Realm Reborn. :)
And that hat would also be a good alternative for those not being able to get the Darklight Eyepatch...!

THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!

I meant of it dropping, I can't really picture an event ending and suddenly the hat appearing in your inventory tbh lol we killed about 30 of the small ones, maybe 40 and had no drops

It's not a 100% drop as everyone has been saying, what more do you want? The only screenshots you'll get is people who obtained it or seen someone else obtain it via them equipping it.

I'd like to see the moment it falls into their loot list from one of the people who claim it just drops if you killed enough imperials when there is no NPC or anything to give it to you.

Well, sorry, I don't have that because I had returned to HP because I was dead, and running back. I mean... Obviously he got it right? So either I staged this 5 man party to fool you, INCLUDING the chat log where we are all shocked that we got it for doing nothing, or we killed one of these ridiculously hard elites with 5 members and no whm, OR I'm telling the truth.

I don't know why people ask for ANY info on something like this if you're just going to doubt every bit you get.

It just drops.... There's no NPC or chest. It's a mob drop. You get a higher chance with the Elites. The chance of it falling from regular imperials is probably the same as Darklight.

Hey I'm not saying you are lying, I'm just saying a screenshot with 5 guys acting surprised in chat isn't really proof or confirmation. Wikipedia wouldn't allow it.

Bored people invented the pandaran race on WoW. And that took more than just typing.

It's cool.

The hat dropped at the end of the fight, when all the Garlean depopped and the music turned back to normal music, not as a drop from one of the little guys.

We just didn't kill claim or even survive 3 hits from the NMs but we did kill the random level 50s roaming around. We did help attack the magiteck and the nms though, did a little bit of damage.

It's possible that, at event ending, there's a random chance if you participate.

Is it possible it dropped midfight but you didn't notice, or did you actually see it drop after the event ended?

And you don't need to sign up at any npc or anything correct?

We actually saw it (they, i was too far away) at event ending, and there was no npc to sign up with.

Could it work somewhat like Campaign where people are rated on participation instead of just claiming mobs?

That would be nice...

I'm going to assume it's like the imperial invasions where it lasts so many hours and then disappears for awhile.

Can anyone confirm if there is an NPC in the cities that banters on about the imperials if it is up?

Event is back up on Excalibur.

Masamune as well

they arnt but its getting in the way of my crown do leves cuz i hate w8tin hours to get an sb pt only 4 levels to go i was in a leve and 6 of them aggroed me with the leve mob's

Same here. Got three hats from what seemed like random Elites. I have no idea if we needed claim to get drops, seeing as how the NMs don't give exp, or if you need the killshot, or if it's random amongst the people who participated.

How to cheese this: The elite imperials do not respawn. Not at all. You can kill one and then come back 20 minutes later and the one you killed will not come back.

Instead of trying to fight everything at once you pull the group to just before its area ends, kill one of the elite adds and then run away. Raise the dead and rinse and repeat. You should probably kill the medicus first as it can heal, followed by the black mage as it can do some insane aoe damage. After that you can probably kill in any order save for the centurion which you should save for last. Once all the elites are dead the vanguard is a simple tank and spank.

In one clear we got 1 tricorne and 1 hat.

Once you clear the whole thing it should all respawn within 2 minutes

any Elite around the magitek can drop

Imperial operative Tricorne :
Requires: Discipline of War

Imperial Operative Hat●●

Thanks for the update.
What is the use of the normal Imperial mobs? Anything drop from them at all? (ie: elixers)

killed regular ones for about an hour, nothing drops from them, nobodies killed the elites at iron lake yet.

Ok this event ended after I spent some time killing regulars. Nothing dropped at the end. So I can't confirm that if you farm the regulars you will get anything
