Guide awaiting review

1

Craft Imperial Silk

As a Tailor, craft Imperial Silk to have a chance of receiving a Silkworm Cocoon, which teaches the Imperial Moth. The drop is not guaranteed with every craft, so continue crafting Imperial Silk until one appears.

2

Check the Auction House

The Imperial Moth is bind-on-equip, meaning it can be caged and traded, so you can also purchase it from other players on the Auction House if you prefer not to craft for it.

3

Note the Pet Quality

Although the Silkworm Cocoon that teaches Imperial Moth is a Rare-quality item, the pet itself is only Uncommon quality, and it will remain Uncommon even if you cage it.

4

Understand the Breed

Imperial Moth is only available in the H/H breed, which means it has boosted Health but no bonuses to Power or Speed — keep this in mind when using it in pet battles.

Tips

  • Imperial Moth and Imperial Silkworm are the only battle pets that can have both of their shared ability types simultaneously, making them a notable pair among collectors.
