Imps

The Imps, despised and loathed by everyone, are mostly found at the fringes of Midgaardian civilization. At least that is true for the common incarnations of this race, the lesser and minor imps. Some of the more distant relatives are quite secretive - the reason for this, as most Midgaardian's will testify - is most likely their fear to face up to any proper work or fight.

In rare circumstances Imps seem do be struck down by an odd kind of disease, causing an extreme form of metamorphosis. Some claim that this is not an illness, but a voluntary action. Either way, during this process the appearance and abilities of the Imp are completely transformed - but surely not always to the better.

This is an evolutionary race. They can go through radical changes at the following levels once they decide to evolve and have acquired the necessary knowledge:

Lev.25->Hero(1)->Hero(250)->Hero(500)->Hero(750)->Lord(1)->Lord(300)

Continued growth without evolving into a new form will become harder and harder once beyond the suitable size, until it becomes completely impossible. Similar, there is no shortcut through the process of growth, every inch of the way has to be gone.

Due to the innate curse of Imps in their various forms they will never be able to follow the path of priesthood.

Another distinct kind of Imps are known to steal gear from other travelers. Those creatures are known as Gear Imps, and have their own separate story. (See Help Imping)

MNI

To evolve to Minor Imp there is a little quest involved. Look for an oracle, follow a mountain path north of the meadow. The level range of the area you are looking for has a maximum level lower than 16. Give the oracle 1 gold coin, she will then tell you that you need to get 3 items for her. Note: one of the items she needs is a potion, another is a pill give her these and she will convert them into tickets with a funky bright color rename, get the third item which is already a ticket and give her them, she will then give you a scroll, give her this back, she will then bind it to you and give it you back and thats it you now only need to get to lvl 25 and evolve. The scroll is involved in the MNI->DTI Quest.

Mni also get a +1 to str, int, wis, and con. Their tnl is 4000

DTI

In the ancient bronze wyrm area, find the the Bronze Wyrm. You can't enter the room with Vincent without killing the wyrm because the lever needed to open the door won't appear until the Wyrm is dead. Use an alt or ask a friend, it's pretty big and it tails/breaths (obviously). Go north after you pull the lever. You'll find Vincent and all you have to do is listen to him talk to evolve.

Dti get a +1 str. Their tnl is 3333

WVI

Go see Tannah in the obsidian tower and be prepared to fight. Bring friends as I doubt you can win alone. As soon as you enter and she notices a dti, she'll talk and then summon 2 Earth Elementals to help her fight you. When she summons, an Orb of Silt will appear upon her. Loot it from her corpse after she dies. To evolve, you have to give it to Vincent when you're level 250. Unfortunately, it is a ticket item so you cannot save with it. So it is propbably best to do it after you hit 250.

VPI

tele/portal shipwreck merchant (island of the lost area) enter glimmer

With a water imp in group kill all mephits and a special message will appear and a lever should show on ground. Pull the lever to reveal a down exit from where you first entered glimmer. (hint, you can just type exit and go to the room which doesn't have maze in its name to get to the down, all rooms in maze is connected to this).

Mephits are sanced, but not particularly hard, they can hit a bit.

When you head down you will encounter elementals that are unsanced and weak. As you make your way north watch for the entrance to the throne room name, next room is sorta mean. It has a biggish sanced mob (keyword: pretender) and probably a few elementals (they wander though, I think). You definitely want to group to bring down this mob, haven't played much with it but would estimate two biggish casters and the imp tanking as a minimum, more is better.

You want to bring the orb from the pretender back to Vincent and evolve.

PYI

Pretty sure this is in battleground, far north and up in the clouds there with the giants. Haven't gotten around to actual doing it so no details available from me :)

LSE

Get the first shot on the Istone mob, the Lodestone Mob, and the Sceptre mob.

PAE

There is a portal to enter in the Mem. Lane run. Enter it, and kill all the leeches (within a re-pop). A ticket will spawn. Take the ticket into the shack and give it to the mob there. Boss battle with the group.
