Item Pot is a feature that goes hand in hand with professions. Both are available at level 30. This feature allows you to grow or evolve a pet-like creature that will reward you if you get it to its full level. If you take care of it incorrectly, it will die. The general rule of thumb is to not spend a lot of money on the imp, but to take care of it effectively. The mechanics are explained below. Item pots are very confusing, and easy to mess up, so know how it works and what it will demand of you before starting. One thing people forget is that it requires a lot of time, so if you are going on vacation any time soon, even for a weekend, you should not start growing an item pot.
If you get an item pot to its maximum level and feed it to fullness, the imp will give you an item and then disappear (it will be removed from the item pot). The item you receive is determined by the type of imp you leveled, as well as the closeness value that it had when it reached the maximum level.
The window
The Item Pot window can be accessed by opening the Item Pot window (default hotkey is Y ). If you open up this window, you will notice one to three slots available (depending on your level). These slots can be filled with item pots (also called imps) or items that affect item pots. The goal of item pot is to level up an imp to its maximum level (actually, you must level it to its maximum level, e.g. 4/4, and then feed it until it is full) by feeding it Equip or Etc items.
Bars
- Hunger
- Level
- Closeness
How to use item pots
Basically, to use an item pot you have to get an imp, then place it in one of the three slots. You can have three imps at a time, however, it is best to only try and grow one (easy) or two (difficult) at a time. Three is not advised because it will take a very long time to get all of their closeness values to 100.
First, acquaint yourself with the Item Pot window and the bars around an imp. To the right of the imp is its fullness bar, which will fill up with blue if you feed it.
Imp status
- Happy/Loving
- Sad: feed it until the sadness is gone.
- Sick: feed it medicine from Ardentville. It cannot be fed while sick and will die quickly.
- Sleeping: wait until it wakes up or wake it with an Alarm Clock.
Imps
There are several types of imps.

Items
Item pot items can only be found by harvesting. Whenever a player mines or picks herbs, there is a chance that an item pot imp or item will drop. Items allow you to interact with the imps in special ways.
There is one item that cannot be found, and that is the medicine, which must be purchased from Ardentville's material vendor (to the left of the exit).
