Imprimatur

From FFXI Wiki
  • An Imprimatur is a virtual "permit".
  • You will begin collecting Imprimaturs once you speak to a Task Delegator during SoA Mission 1-5 - Pioneer Registration. At first, the regeneration rate for Imprimaturs is one per 6 Earth Hours.
  • Imprimaturs are used for participating in any Coalition Assignment. One to three imprimaturs can be utilized per assignment, with increasing rewards and coalition standing rewarded from more imprimaturs (reference the Coalition Assignments page for more information on rewards).
    • Players have access to all of the Coalitions in Adoulin, but each Coalition has their own rank.
    • The Coalition Assignment locations are generally based on rank. The higher rank you are in a Coalition the further away from the city you need to adventure in order to complete an assignment.
  • When a Coalition has not yet reached its maximum rank, its ability to rank up for the following week (Sunday at 0:00 JST) is dependent on total the number of Imprimaturs expended by adventurers during the current week.
  • Imprimaturs are stored with the Task Delegator and a maximum of 15 can be stored. However, once a task is assigned, those Imprimaturs will be used up and you have an unlimited amount of time to complete the assignment.
    • Utilized imprimaturs can also be retrieved if an assignment is cancelled, but will be lost if your total would exceed 15 stored imprimaturs upon retrieval. You can "store" imprimaturs for later use this way.
