It seems you get 400 imperials reward for every quest complete only the first 7 days in game. First 7 days you get easy quests, you can complete them all 5 very easy. After this first week, you will get 50-100 imperials/quest but and you will also get daily quests that can't be completed without ounces (you get them with real money or very hard for loging in every day).
So after first 7 days you do like 200 imperials every day from daily quests. Your pet needs to eat, that will cost you 200 imp/day when your pet is level 1 and 600/day when he is level 4. For loging in every day you'll get ounces and imperials.
So, if you don't want to spend real money on this game you'll have to make efforts only to manage to keep your pet alive (you don't want to let him die as a new one will cost 25.000). You'll improve your deck very very slow.
I must say that the game has potential.
This game is still in Beta and many aspects might change in future.
I still recommend this game to any TCG players!
Hi! Thanks a lot for these kind words. Yes, the game is still in beta and we have a lot of work to do. I know that now it's hard to earn imperials, especially for Kongregate players. We will try to add some changes to make your life easier. Thanks for playing our game!
I don't know why "in game" is saying you get 50-100 from a quest. I can confirm after several days in game that you get 400 imp for every quest and the daily reward is a card.
