Talk:Fire Imp

Is it just wishful thinking or, as I would expect, are they particularly vulnerable to cold based damage? Ice Spear seems to do pretty good damage.

It wouldn't surprise me, I noticed fire attacks do double damage against some of the monsters in the Shiverpeaks. --Dlanod 09:44, 6 Jul 2005 (EST)

...and fire attacks also seem to do reduced damage to fire imps. --84.175.108.228 10:21, 6 Jul 2005 (EST)

... and lightening (air) seems to work well against anything using metal (warriors and iron golems). Kinda surprised we haven't been able to quantify this, yet. For that matter, do we even know which beast have which vulnerabilities? For instance, the Centaurs in the Shiver Peaks seem to always have "Spirit of Winter" running. Why? They don't *look* particulrly icy.

Name
Is this creature actually called "Fire Imp"? Isn't it simply "Imp"? Which would make this another case of having a creature and a species with the same name (like Grawl and Grawl (Species)). I'll take a walk outside D'Alessio Seaboard to verify this as soon as I'm home. --Tetris L 04:43, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Nevermind, the name is Fire Imp. Sorry, I got confused. --Tetris L 05:55, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Imps are real annoying little critters, especially the fire ones, there are Fire, Lava, Inferno and Sparks of the titans. I do not know why Arena Net made them so comlicated. --Karlos 15:09, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)

Sapphire
Do we want to have saphires listed as drops? Aren't they, like rubies, possible drops from anything just so incredibly rare that you'll probably never see one drop? --Rainith 21:16, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * The problem is they are SO rare (I have seen a total of 3 drops in my entire experience with the game, none for me too) that it is almost impossible to tell what drops them or not. I do recall a ruby and a sapphire dropping before me in FoW, can't recall though what creature dropped what. I do agree, that they are not related with Fire Imps though. --Karlos 21:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

I am the one who listed the sapphire as a drop, because i did get one from a fire imp in north kryta province and I thought i should list it. It must have been a very rare occurance but it is true. -Twood1130


 * That's ok, the issue is more of do only imps, or fire imps drop them. From what I can tell Rubies and Shpphires are like Vials of Dye, only much more rare, in that most anything can drop them.  We don't list stuff like that as creature specific drops.  --Rainith 13:06, 23 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I can confirm that a Fire Imp in Sanctum Cay dropped a Ruby last night, so I don't think it's sapphires specifically. Though it seems that Imps drop these gems more often. --Karlos 13:40, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Are there any reports of other kinds of early enemies dropping rare gems? -Twood1130
