Imp Guide for People who do not know about Imps

Well, now that you're starting to read my guide and wondering what imps are, I will explain them to you.

Imps are little creatures that you feed equipment and monster drops to help them grow. Once they are fully grown, they will give you a reward.

[b]Types of Item Pots[/b]

[b]Finding Imps[/b]

Imps are found as monster drops. They are semi-rare. They can also be found by harvesting herbs or mining.

[b]Activating Imps[/b]

Once you pick up an imp, it is in the [b]Use Tab[/b]. To activate the imp [b]double click the imp[/b].

[b]Feeding your Imp[/b]

To feed it, open up the item pot tab (default key [Y]) and drag equipment or monster items to the imp. You can only feed your imps by feeding it equipment or monster drops around your level. [b]The item cannot be given as food if you are a much higher level than the previously stated item[/b]. The imp has a fullness bar.

Once the fullness bar is full, the imp will go to sleep for 21 hours.

[b]Leveling up your Imp[/b]

The only way to level up your imp is to feed it equipment. The level bar is the bar on top of the [b]closeness bar[/b]

[b]Note the fullness bar will go up even more if you feed it equipment with potential. Hint Hint[/b]

[b]Max Level[/b]

This would take around 7-8 days if you did not use any [b]special items[/b] (Look near the bottom). Once your imp reached max level, double click it and you would receive an item in your use tab. Double click that and there is your reward for your item draining creature.
Your imp would become one of these when it is max level, depending on its rewards.

[b] Note that the more closeness your imp has, the better reward you will receive![/b]

[b]Closeness[/b]
Closeness increases every time you feed your imp. There is a delay that makes you have to wait 10 minutes for your closeness to increase. The maximum level for closeness is [b]100[/b].

[b]Special Methods to feed your imp[/b]

1. I. Use the Pounding Heart (Any) and feed it equipment or monster drops until you need to use another one.
II. Keep doing this until it falls asleep.
III. Use the Alarm Clock(Any) to wake it up.
IV. Keep feeding until it falls asleep.
V. Use the another Alarm Clock (The opposite side of step III.)
VI. Feed it until it falls asleep. It has just skipped 2 levels!
[b]Note, this will only work if your imp is in the middle pot. To make your imp in the middle, drag the imp into the middle pot.[/b]

2. I. Using accessory crafting, make useless rings. One, it would help you level your accessory crafting. Two, it would give you some items to feed your imps.
II. Buy a fatigue drink. (300,000 mesos or 1,000,000 mesos. It doesn't matter which.)
III. Mine [b]emerald veins[/b] and [b]heartstone veins[/b] because they give useful items.

[b]Questions[/b]
Q: What are the rewards?
A: Updated the rewards

Q: Are Imps worth it?
A: IMO they are because of the great rewards. Just farm monster drops so you do not lose anything of value if you get a horrible reward

Q: How can I use Pounding Hearts?
A: It depends on whichever side it says. For example, if it is a Pounding Heart (Right), then it will affect the imp on the [b]right[/b] of the pounding heart. Same thing with Pounding Heart (Left). Once you use a Pounding Heart, you have to feed your imp monster drops and equipment.
