OSRS Implings Catching Guide: Impetuous Impulses Minigame

OSRS Implings Catching Guide: Impetuous Impulses Minigame

Impetuous Impulses is a minigame where players catch implings to obtain trinkets and treasures. Players can play the minigame in Puro-Puro, and it is considered safe as nothing there can kill them.

 

Location of Impetuous Impulses

The Impetuous Impulses take place in Puro-Puro. Players can enter by clicking the center of the crop circle in Zanaris in the middle of a wheat field, east of the fairy ring.  Players can get to Zanaris by wielding a dramen or lunar staff and entering the small hut in the middle of the Lumbridge swamp.

Requirements for Impetuous Impulses

  • hunter17 hunter or 27 hunter if barehanded: this is required to catch the lowest tier impling. Higher hunter levels will be needed to catch high-tiered implings
  • butterfly netA butterfly net and impling jarimpling jar: These are required to catch implings. 1 butterfly and 7 impling jars can be claimed only once from Elnock if your character is new to Puro Puro 

 

Impling Jars Method for Ironman

Elnock Inquisitor at Puro-Puro will give players 3 empty impling jars in exchange for any impling-filled jar. This is especially useful for Ironman as they don’t need to bring Jars to the Puro-Puro. They can start with the 7 impling jars given to them by Elnock, catch implings with them, and then exchange them for 21 impling jars. 

 

Players can make money with this method as catching Baby implings with the jars and exchanging them for empty impling jars is profitable, generating up to 280K GP per hour, as players can catch 504 Baby implings per hour.

 

Recommendations for Impetuous Impulses

  • graceful outfitWeight-reducing clothing: like the graceful clothing.
  • magic butterflyMagic butterfly net: This gives a higher chance of catching implings than the normal version.
  • quest iconCompletion of Lost City quest: This unlocks the permanent portal to Puro-Puro found on Zanaris.
  • questFairytale II - Cure a Queen to gain access to fairy rings.
  • RuneLite: RuneLite is quite useful when hunting Implings. The impling plugin on RuneLite shows where different implings spawn in Puro Puro and their location on the minimap.

 

Overview of the Impetuous Impulses

As you enter the Puro Puro, you will notice that the minimap will no longer be available due to its magical power. The Impetuous Impulses minigame takes place in a maze and the walls are made up of magical wheat. Players need to right-click and push through it to enter different layers of the maze, and they can choose to receive strength XP anytime they do this by speaking to Elnock. Certain parts of the maze will lower randomly, and players can pass through these areas without pushing through wheat.

Impling Spawns

 

Invisible spawn points

In Puro-Puro, there are 35 spawn points from which invisible NPCs spawn. These invisible NPCs roam for two minutes before becoming visible as an impling at any location in Puro Puro. They respawn as invisible NPCs immediately after being caught. The type of impling that appears after the timer depends on the tier of the invincible NPC:

Here are the invincible spawns and their tiers available in Puro Puro

Strategy for Catching Implings

Strategy for catching implings from Invisible spawn points

The best method to catch the most implings from the Invisible spawn points is to force-spawn them. For instance, to maximize the amount of Dragon implings that will spawn, a player should catch all rare implings (nature, magpie, ninja) as they would have spawned from higher tier spawn tiles, giving a chance for a Dragon impling to spawn after. This is best done in the northwest and southeast corners of Puro Puro shown above (higher tier spawn tiles)

 

Players should hop between multiple worlds while doing this so they don’t have to wait for the 2-minute-timer for the higher tier implings to become visible.

 

Strategy for catching implings from Fixed spawn points

Players who want to catch the lower-tier implings from the fixed spawn points can easily stand close to the spawn points of the implings they want and catch them as soon as they spawn since they spawn relatively quickly. If you miss them, you might wait a while for them to roam back to the section of the maze you are in.

 

Using Snare or Dark Lure

Dark Lure requires 50 magic, completion of Kingdom Divided, 1 nature rune, 1 death rune, and the Arceuus spellbook to be cast. When cast on a monster, it causes it to be lured to the player. Snare requires the regular spellbook, 50 magic, 4 water runes, 4 earth runes, and 3 nature runes to be cast. When cast on a monster, it prevents it from moving for up to 9.6 seconds. Any of these spells can be used on implings to ensure they don’t run away if you fail to catch them. 

 

GP per hour catching Implings

Players with 83 hunter, decent strength and agility levels, and 50 magic to cast Snare or Dark Lure can catch 1 to 4 Dragon implings per hour. This results in a profit between 479K to 1.9M GP after the cost of impling jar and stamina potions have been deducted. Note that Dragon Implings are rare, so profits are dependent on luck.

 

Elnock’s Exchange

Players can store all the following items with Elnock: 1 butterfly net, 1 imp repellant, and up to 1000 impling jars. Players can also trade combinations of impling jars to Elnock Inquisitor in exchange for items to catch more implings as listed below:

imp repellantImp Repellent: 3 baby implings jars, 3 young impling jars, and 1 gourmet impling jar are required to buy this.
