1.23 Imperial Event

Event ended at 0.00 btw

I went to do WHM AF quest over at Turning Leaf; the imperial theme was playing both at Crimson Bark and Turning Leaf as well. I did not go looking for imperials though.

Saw the level 50 mobs while helping people for AF quests and after I sat around for almost an hour killing them before they despawned. Never bumped into any elites but everything I killed dropped absolutely nothing. Don't want to whine about it but they don't even drop money/crystals which makes it hugely disappointing as far as events go.

Any news on a set schedule for re-appearances?

So far from what i've experience it's up for 4 hours, and then down for 4 hours.

I see, thank you!

Joining the dots here, I suspect the imperials are hunting the primals.

Dragonhead: Garuda's domain
Iron Lake: Titan's domain
Broken Water: Ifrit's domain
Crimson Bark: Good King Moggle Mog XII's domain

From what I've seen (and this is only speculation) the Tricorn drops from the DoW mobs and the Hat drops from the DoM mobs and the H1 can drop both. I got my Tricorn from a DoW mob and I saw someone get a Hat from a DoM mob (those that link with the H1, the normal mobs do not drop anything).

Also, the best way I've found to do this is to make them return constantly and spam Fire spells. I did it with 3, 1 Brd pulling 1 Blm nuking, 1 Whm buffing, raising, nuking but if you're going in with a full PT I would say 1 tank pulls 2 Whm's buff and raise and the rest Blm spamming fire. The mages can safely cast at the return line and almost not get hit.

Sorry, I don't have the exact <pos>. But they're north of camp.

EDIT -- Err, the Magitek was North of camp. The regulars pretty much spawned all over the place.

thank u guys appreciate it,so north of the camp is where ill head for searching,and event is every 4hrs game time or RL time?

They were also in camp broken water. I'm thinking the "high level" camps (Broken Water, Iron Lake, probably Nine Ivies) are where the imperials are set to show up. Almost died several times trying to do my usual leves, too. >.>

When I saw the H-1 at Dragonhead it was south of the camp, down the road. There was a long line of Imperials and it was in a little clearing off the road with the elites.

Afaik it's Crimson Bark and not Nine Ivies. Farmed at Crimson Bark earlier today so it's confirmed.

We did Dragonhead earlier. Magitek usually spawned 40,17(northeastish of camp) and occasionally at 39,21(South of camp along the road).

Purrrrdy Hat !!

About:..

Pop 1: 20(h), 5(v) South west of Iron Lake.
Pop 2: 26(h), 7(v) East of Iron Lake.

(h) = horizontal
(v) = vertical

La Noscea Map

it's been about 5 hours since last i think, and no sign of them at iron lake-durandal, debunked 4on/4off theory?

Not sure if it helps anyone, I made a video of the event in Iron lake. Killing the H1, how loot works, etc: https://www.youtube.com/user/smiley7890?feature=mhee

Leashing is "cheezy" but effective for everyone involved.

Don't mean to derail the thread, but since your chocobo is called "Chansey", I can't help but think of Super Smash Champ (even though you've had that chocobo for much longer than that series started.)

Nice vid as usual, though.

And I hate when people spell words with numbers, like waiting. I hate it even more when people do it wrong.

8 sounds like Ate

W8ing

See, the T sound is already included in the 8. If you are going to type like a 14-year-old skater boi, at least do it correctly.

Been here 7 hours and no pop yet at Iron Lake.

I'm beginning to think its more like the Secret ayther quest that would send you to otherwise unreachable parts of Mistbeard/Copperbell anyone have the link to the chart for pop time?

(if I remember correctly it was more dealing with prime times for JP/NA/EU

I died right along side you XD

When imperials are up, does it happen in all 4 camps at the same time? Or just 1 camp?

Also, are you able to tell they're up or not in some way as soon as you teleport to the camp where they are? Someone wrote there was Van Darnus music playing, but dont know if it "can be heard" even near the aetheryte crystal.

Thanks!~

the area around aether will change music, and yes you can hear it from aether aswell.
And once you get ther you will notice lot of Imperials around thats normally isnt there.

It doesn't play Darnus music, it plays the "Garlean" theme (since it's used for more than where Darnus is even involved) and yes it plays at the zone the camp is in if not the entire area, but I only did the ones at dragonhead area.

Hmm ok, thanks both!

I guess I'll keep checking all 4 camps every hour lol

Black Shroud spawn is just south of Crimson Bark heading towards Turning Leaf where you fight moogles. Ran by them by Chance helping LS mates kill the NMs and get Turning leaf Gate

Has the event been up at all since like 7est yesterday? Haven't seen it.

Has anyone beat the H1 and elites without using the "leash" method? If so, how? What was your party setup? etc.

Edit: Nvm, read that wrong.
