Talk:Ruby

Memnon Mindblade told me they found one on the Nolani mission Skuld &Dagger; 16:25, 10 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * I think Rubies and Sapphires can be found anywhere in the game, but with a VERY low chance. In some areas the chance is slightly increased. --Tetris L 16:36, 10 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Wow, that change outside the TotA missions must be very low indeed then. I have yet to see one drop outside of there. --Xeeron 22:16, 10 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Me too. I have been everywhere and killed everything. :) I have only seen rubies drop in the realms. --Karlos 14:27, 11 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * I had one drop in Sorrow's Furnace. Didn't realise it was rare, as it was my first time down there. I sold it to the merchant. Sob. 148.177.129.213 16:41, 11 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Dude!! The item's description says "rare crafting material"!!! Which means there's a 99% chance you'll get more selling it to the trader. Those merchants are highway robbers. They pay 100 gold for an ecto!! :) --Karlos 21:19, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

One dropped for me from a level 3 mob in Pockmark Flats, so I guess they really can be anywhere.


 * This information would weigh a lot more if we knew who you are and what the mob was. --Karlos 18:22, 16 February 2006 (CST)
 * I got one way back, before I had any idea what they were, from a low level (Earth? Stone?)elemental.  It's one of a few odd drops that have occurred over time, like the Glob of Ectoplasm which I had no idea what to do with, from some ghostly-type creature.  No idea what the drop rates are though, I'd guess very low.  --Epinephrine 04:08, 14 March 2006 (CST)


 * Saw a ruby and sapphire drop this weekend in Tombs, both by Terrorweb Dryders. Also saw highway robbery as the person the sapphire dropped for died and before he could get back up, the sapphire turned white and someone else grabbed it. I know this cause it was one of my guildies that it happened to. He wasn't upset at all about the robbery. He's a better man than I. --Gares Redstorm 04:16, 14 March 2006 (CST)

Just now i dropped 2 of them in a single (and short cause after we died) run in Uw with an ss. One was dropped by a Terrorweb and one bye a Smiter. And both to me! (Ss was crying :)). --Sjeps 00:39, 27 March 2006 (CST)

Charr dropping rubies
I highly question that note and this is why I removed it. Because it was added by an anonymous user and it goes against the general theory I have about drops. Mainly that creatures that drop slavage items do not drop rare crafting materials. Some times they drop common materials (like Tengu dropping bones/feathers), but I have never ever seen a creature that drops salvage items drop rare materials. This is all part of a study I am working on, but as far as this part of the theory, anyone experienced the contrary? i.e. got ANY rare crafting materials out of a mob that drops salvage armor? --Karlos 18:26, 16 February 2006 (CST)

I had a ruby drop from a stone elemental (or something like that) in the Diessa Lowlands. Got a screenshot of the ruby.
