Imperial Standing

Hi all,

What are some of the fastest ways to get Imperial Standing? I know you can use copper vouchers for 1000 each, but anything beyond that for quick & easy? Thanks!

other than farming exp mobs in the region(lol), your best bet is always gonna be besieged. Another way, that's not very efficient, is farming archaic mirrors(rare/ex) for 1k IS/each. This involves running around the different zones Wide scanning for either the mirrors or the mirror guardians.

(vap posted at the same time as I updated my info haha)

You can also turn in Archaic Mirrors dropped from Archaic Mirrors in Halvung, Mamook, and Arrapago Reef for 1000 Imperial Standing each, iirc.

EDIT: Source - FFXIclopedia - Archaic Mirror

If you have the Voidwatch teleport for Mamook's entrance - there is a couple Mirrors near the zone entrance. You can easily teleport, kill one for the drop, teleport back to Whitegate and turn it in. As Skinny said though, not very efficient.

Besieged is pretty much the most practical and time efficient way, with no opportunity cost like spending vouchers. After a besieged, if you are feeling adventurous, go rescue some prisoners for extra IS. I can't remember the numbers, but regular townspeople net you I think 1000, and 5000 for a general. Plus, you can grab mirrors while you're there, and of course, use sanction.

Been a while since I did it myself, but I recall it being much more than 200/1k.

I just did a beseiged for the first time since like.... 09 or something. Got 5k IS. Not bad. Took 15 minutes. Just watch your region bar and check for beseiged a few times a day and head up when they are advancing.
