Thread: 1.23 Imperial Event

Farmed the regular level 50 Imperials for over an hour non-stop and nothing happened even when they all despawned. (Oh, by the way they despawned 20 minutes ago)

I'm finding it harder and harder to believe these regular Imperials gave any drops to anyone. especially after a BLM burn a group and I went on a while ago to clear as many of these Imperials as possible between H-1s.

Additionally, I will confirm that you probably will receive nothing from Elite Imperial deaths if you aren't in the party with the claim @ kill. I don't know what is the deal with some of these crazy-sounding claims here.

Only the Elite mobs drop anything...The lead group with the Magitek H-1. Not sure where you people get the if you kill the 50s you get...cause you don't.

Well, let me see here-

Weird.

But eh, feels like other people already experimented and deny anything from the regular Imperials.

I'll go with the whole killshot thing on Elites.

Honestly, the way loot for this event makes sense to me. Think of it this way- not everyone has access to a decently sized endgame linkshell that has the people to take H-1 down by themselves. But they still want to participate in the event. They go out, and they still have a chance at getting an item. And guess what? That endgame LS has a chance at getting the item too. You're not in an instance where all the items belong to you, you're in the field where other people are fighting along side you. Everyone gets a chance.

Did it the whole 4 hours straight, and that's what I was able to determine. Also got the tricorn. :3

Well I dunno, there's this vid that says it goes to the person with the killshot:

Leashing is "cheezy" but effective for everyone involved.
