This is the rarest of the three loot cards in the new expansion for the WoW Trading Card Game: Through the Dark Portal. The only way to obtain this item is from a code revealed on the trading card.

I stated this also on the NPC section, but it still applies here as well:

Imp in a ball is a "Loot Card" from the World of Warcraft trading card game. The loot card gives you an "Imp in a ball".. Its part of the new "Dark Portal" card set release.

As far as this being a possible NPC ingame, I cant tell. According to Blizzard, when you take the ball out & ask a question, you can right click the imp for an answer. 'Upper Deck' has also been heard stating in a future patch the imp will speak to your whole party! How Fun!

This is all the information I can provide. Hope it helps.(##RESPBREAK##)652##DELIM##Neutronimity##DELIM##Removed dead link.

Question: Oh, Great Imp in a Ball, What are you?!

Anwser: I don't even know. But i can say this... "It Would Help if Someone Would Tell What I am Soom".

Guys i dont get how i can own it.
Is it some kind of ingame drop?
Or should i won/find something in WOWTCG game?

I'm rather disappointed after receiving the Imp in a ball. I was hoping for something more spectacular. Unfortunately the imp vanishes after being right clicked on and whisper an answer, often an answer which can't be related back to the question.

I'll fraps the point from which I click on the imp until when I receive my answer, let's just say I was hoping for something more graphical.

Aww, I got the card but it didn't have the loot code. I guess not all of the cards have the loot codes on them.

Kommentar von slavikus

Got it today. All I can say is that currently it's not too exciting. You right click the item, the imp NPC appears briefly (as seen on the screenshot), whispers you the random answer and disappears. Nothing to show off. Others can't use the NPC other than seeing him. Hopefully Blizzard changes that in future patches.

Kommentar von Constants

I can confirm that the imp in a ball as of this patch, 2.1, it will send a message to your party if you are in a party or raid. If you aren't grouped, it will send it to you in a NPC whisper.

I heard that they might add more answers in later patches has this happend?

Where does it come from and how hard is it to get?
The Imp in a Ball comes from the World of Warcraft TCG (trading card game)
TCG Expansion: Dark Portal (Official Site)
Card: Fortune Telling
Rarity: 1/484 booster packs
Distribution: Dark Portal booster boxes contain 24 boosters and cost approx $40 USD (inc. shipping), therefore the average cost of obtaining this particular loot is $807.00.

How much would I expect to pay for one off eBay or similar?
According to http://www.wowtcgloot.com/imp_in_a_ball.htm (most information sourced from there), the lowest Buy It Now price starts around $50 USD upwards to $75 USD, with the average quantity listed hovering around 3 items.

Facts:

It makes the same noise when a warlock summons an Imp.
The imp shakes up and down for a few seconds, and then announces a fortune to your whole group.
It is similar to a magic 8 ball.
Casting time is instant with a cooldown of 30 seconds.
The number of different fortunes is very large.
The answers given can be cryptic as well as insulting.
Useable at any level and therefore available for twinks.

How do the Loot cards work?
Loot cards are special rare versions of WoW TCG cards found in booster packs, starter decks, and raid decks that have a revealable unique code. Once this protective layer concealing the code is scratched away, a 25 digit promotion code is revealed that can be entered into the Blizzard offical promotions page. These codes work for both US and EU servers.

I have the 25 digit loot code, now what?
All accounts from every region in the world use http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/misc/promotion.html to redeem any and all special loot. This webpage allows you to enter the 25 digit promotion code and also select the region and realm for the character that will receive the loot item.

Upon succcessfuly submitting the above information, you will be presented with an in-game code. Write this code down or print it out; you will need it to retrieve your item. Log into the game with the character that is to receive the item and travel to Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale. There, you will need to find a goblin by the name of Landro Longshot. He is located on the lower parts of Booty Bay on the docks, and should be easily recognised due to the fact that he has a distinctive purple shirt and two body guards next to him.

When you find Landro, he will first ask if you are here for a promotion, and then ask you which TCG expansion your item comes from (or Points Redemption); check your loot card if you are not sure which item that is. Ensure you have got bag space to hold the item!

I've spent a few months writing down all the sayings the imp has. It keeps doing new ones so I'm not sure how many there are:

"Hey! You try telling the future when someone's shaking up your house!"
"I don't think so, boss."
"The answer's yes in here, don't see why it'd be different out there!"
"I suppose."
"It's as sure as the warts on my backside"
"Yes, unless I have anything to do with it"
"Jump three times and dance for ten minutes and it will definitely happen!"
"My sources say "no". Before the torture, that is.
"Definitely."
"I can't see why not, although, I can't see a lot of things right now."
"Yes, it will rain. That's not what you asked? Too bad!"
"My fortune telling powers are immeasureable - your chances are though: NO CHANCE"
"The odds are 32.33 percent change of success."
"Didn't you already ask that once? Yes already!"
"Avoid taking unnecessary gambles. Your lucky numbers are two, two and a half, and eleven-teen."
"When Blackrock Freezes over"
"Survey says: BZZZZT!"
"Imp in a ball is ignoring you."
"Hey! You try arranging furniture with some jerk shaking your house"
"Yes, but if anyone else asks... it wasn't me who told you"
"Hahahahahah, you're kidding right?"
"Sure but you're not going to like it."
"I don't have to be a fortune-telling imp to know the answer to that one - No!"
"Yes, now stop pestering me"
"Yes! I mean no! I mean... which answer will get me out of here?"
"When dwarves fly. Oh they do? Then yes."
"Want to trade places?"
"You remember that time you tried to drill that hole in your head?"
"What happens in the twisting nether, stays in the twisting nether."
"Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes already!"
"Not unless you're some kind of super-person. And don't kid yourself, you're not."
"NO - and don't try shaking me again for a better answer!"
"Yes, but I hoped I would never have to answer that"
"Word on the peninsula is YES!"
"Oh, that's one for sure."
"Do you ask this question to everything that's trapped in a ball?"
"I ask myself that question everyday."
"Da King! Chort ready to serve."
"Are you making fun of me?"
"It's like my mother always said: "Razxx khaj jhashxx xashjx."
"It pains me to say this, but "Yes".
"This was NOT in my contract!"
"It's times like these that I wish I had a cooldown."
"Are you my pal, Danny?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"That's about as likely as me getting a date with a succubuss."
"Yes, it will rain. That's not what you asked? Too bad!"
"Please... is Kil'jaeden red?"
"You should be asking "Is that rogue behind me going to kill me?"
"Yes, is my answer..........NOT!"
"Yeah, sure. You just keep thinking that."
"XRA RAHKI MAZIZRA!"
"What kind of imp do you think I am?"
"Three Words - "ab - so - lutely"!
"Looks good for you...and bad for me."
"You need Arcane Intellect, because that answer is obvious! NO!"
"Ruk!"
"It won't matter, you'll be dead by tomorrow."
"I can make that happen. Just sign below the dotted line..."
"The outlook is very bad for YOU that is! Haha, take it!"
"I've consulted my fellow imps, and we think YES, except for that one imp."

According to wowhead there is several versions of the spell when you click it, most notable a different spell for when a rogue uses this item, anyone know what that difference is?

"The odds are 32.33 percent chance of success." I laughed so hard when I saw this Leeeeeroy! Jeeenkins!

Kommentar von 111827

I got "4 8 15 16 23 42"
Those are the numbers of the winning lotto ticket, the numbers on the door and the code for the machine in the TV show LOST

Google Search for 4 8 15 16 23 42

"You should be asking "Is that rogue behind me going to kill me?"

"Please... is Kil'jaeden red?"

These two made me really laugh hard!

Kommentar von smiley001

Looking at WoW's growing list of "vanity" items, I consider the Imp in a Ball probably the most entertaining. Can definetly cause some laughter in a group while waiting for that last partymember to arrive ^^

Kommentar von vaarsej

This is actually pretty fun to spam in Dalaran while waiting for the Wintergrasp portal to open.

Kommentar von Onijitsu

The only sad part is that, only people in a party with you (a max of four others) can see the responses, at any given time. The Imp's answers are transmitted in party chat... which often amusingly shocks some players who have never heard of this item! Other people in the same room or raid only get to see the imp gurgle and shake.

I do see the potential for abuse, but it's not like we don't boot people from raids who are annoying for other reasons. Why not allow it to give raid-wide responses too? The value of this item would definitely increase.

: Do we need this boss at all?
: The odds are 32.33 (repeating of course) percent chance of success.

Kommentar von smashfanDS

I just used the item today, and Imp in a Ball said to me in party chat: "4 8 15 16 23 42"

Lost reference :D

This showed up today in the Black Market Auction House. It has a beginning bid of 15K.

"Imp in a ball is ignoring you."

Kommentar von Monthy

Completely useless item. Only value is what you get for it at the vendor. 15k at BM, what a joke.

I just won this on Kil'jaeden-US for 69.8k if anyone was curious about some sort of price reference.

Kommentar von Comocosono

There is an imp in a ball in the umbral halls during the Dark Portal quest chain.
Right when you meet Yrel before accepting her quest to escort her to safety.
It is floating in front of the monolith
