OSRS Imp Catcher Guide: How to Obtain All Beads Fast

Imp Catcher is one of the shortest and easiest quests in the game. It involves retrieving the stolen magic beads belonging to the Wizard Mizgog and has no skill requirements.

General questing tips: Enable the RuneLite Quest Helper plugin, hold the space bar to quickly skip NPC dialogue, and use number keys to select chat options efficiently.

Time to complete Imp Catcher: I used a normal accounts and I completed the quest in under 30 seconds since i could buy the beads required from the Grand Exchange, rather than collecting them manually. For Ironman, bead drops from Imps depend on luck, and completion can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours. This makes the quest quite frustrating for ironman.

Item Requirements for Imp Catcher

These items can be bought from the Grand Exchange on normal accounts for roughly 1K GP each. However, ironman accounts have to obtain them themselves.

• Black bead
• White bead
• Red bead
• Yellow bead

Obtaining the Required Items on Ironman

Killing imps (level 2) is the fastest way to obtain the different beads on an ironman. Imps have a chance to drop each bead at a rate of 1/25.6. A good place to kill them is at Karamja volcano, since there are eight spawns. Watch out for the level 14 scorpions that roam this area. Alternative locations include: east of the Ardougne Monastery, southern entrance to Falador, basement in Kastori

Every 30–120 seconds, there’s a 25% chance an imp will vanish in a puff of smoke and reappear a short distance away. Using Magic or Ranged is advised to minimize downtime while killing them.

Recommended Items for Imp Catcher

Necklace of passage to teleport to the Wizard's tower: It can be bought from the Grand Exchange. Ironman players have to run to the Wizard's tower from Lumbridge.

I recommended having base 20 combat stats if you plan to kill Imps for the beads.

Walkthrough for Imp Catcher

• The fastest method to complete this quest is to purchase all required beads from the grand exchange. The total cost for them is a bit over 10k coins. Stronghold of security rewards players with 10k GP, making it a quick method to get coins needed if you are just starting.

• You should get all the beads before starting so you can save additional trips to the Wizard's tower. When ready, head to the Wizard's tower and climb up the staircase twice until you reach the top floor. You’ll find Wizard Mizgog there waiting for the beads.Talk to him with the required beads and reply 1, 1 during the dialogue to finish the quest. He won't accept them one at a time so Ultimate ironmen should plan ahead.
