Gems in Nightfall?
MSecorsky
Seems the scribe has offered this little tidbit regarding that...
We can read into that what we will... but would it be mentioned for no reason, knowing that a great many inquiries about sapphires and rubies have been made?
Phaern Majes
Lol I can see a repeat of the pre factions price hike. Sapphires and Rubies will go up to 6-8k each. They will then drop to around 1k? again. But who knows maybe this time there will actually be a use for them.
MSecorsky
Of course... if they're a fairly common drop there too, that will be hell on prices. heh heh

Hmmm, anyone know if you can farm rubbies or saphires?
ZenRgy
Yes, you can - they drop from pretty much ANYTHING, just very rarely.
Terra Xin
There's an article on Gwiki about the drop frequency of these rares... or maybe it was Ectoplasms... Anyway, drop rate is supposed to increase depending on the level of the monster.
Killaya
Anything can drop them. The only ruby I've ever gotten I got from a Skeletal Icehand in FOW and the only saphire I've ever gotten I got from an Am Fah outside of Boreas Seabed. =P They're rare but everything has the potential and, as Terra said, the rate is supposed to go up depending on the enemy's level.
I hope we're finally able to use them. Oh, and what about clay bricks? :P

I got it from Level 3 Hulking Stone Elementals.
Right outside Sardelac Sanitarium.

Ive gotten one ruby: Fire Imp right outside Lion's Arch and one sapphire: Shadow Warrior in FoW. But, yes, they can drop from ANYTHING.
Mighty Hero
my guess is that there will be gems and diamonds as rare crafting materials in nightfall
|pyro|
I have noticed in an increased drop rate in these gems, maybe they will really be used in nightfall.

Diamonds are in fact one of the *prizes* of African continent Lots of mining down there.
Ectos going extinct ???

O_o Blood Diamonds in North Africa?
rhYmedizzle
how can they make ectos extinct, that would completely ruin things for almost everyone that has ectos stored up. Ectos are basically money and used for mainly purchasing expensive items. I dont think they can make ectos extinct. i mean theres still prophecies. still it will be wierd if they add rubies/sapphires/diamonds to the market and make them equal worth cause then people will start buying them. there will always be prophecies players needing ectos however so i guess well have to wait and see.
