Imperial Standing Notorious Monsters

These battles (added to FFXI on 7/24/06) function like a cross between ENMs and BCNMs. You pay 2000 or 3000 Imperial Standing to get a key item from the NPC Shajaf. You may do this once every 24 hours. They key item acts like an orb - you only need one per group (so you can do a 6x run, like you would any bcnm). The 2k battles are 60-cap, 3k are uncapped.

Shajaf is located on the upper level of the western large area of Whitegate, north side. They key items are called Confidential Imperial Order, and Secret Imperial Order.
