Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this but..
It *looks* like these guys should be a good source of gems for the 5k armor. Has onlyone seen a gem drop from them or gotten a gem off a ruby dagger or some such?
I've salvaged about 3 daggers so far and killed a bunch of djinns so far with only dust to show for it.
Gems from djinns and djinn items?
King's Spectre
Fossa
Same here, expert salvage on 5 or 6 Essence of Sapphire (drops from Sapphire Djinns) yielded dust. Never seen a gem drop so far
mrcake
I imagine they will be like the jade brotherhood in factions that use to drop a jade chunk on a very rare occasion.
Carboplatin
same, i got a couple of essences salvaged into dust. I havn't seen a gem drop in elona.
Kityn
I salvaged a diamond from Jeweled Daggers. I have no idea how rare that salvage is.

I have not seen the Djinns yet as I am taking my time going through the game with a new toon. Though I would imagine that it is like mrcake has stated that it is a rare instance where they will drop them I bet.
Though must say that I was shocked to get a sapphire drop from a Am Fah Assassin after the update. I was farming the area south of the marketplace to get materials and got that drop.

i think diamond is a new drop without a use yet, much like rubies and sapphires had no use until NF, i could be completely off, but thats just my guess.

lol, Blood Diamonds. >__>;
But yea, I was hoping for the same thing. I think it's like the amber weapons where it may say (rare material) Weapon, but you don't actually GET said rare material.

lol, that is one of the biggest untrue myths in the game (next to there being a working Gwen quest)

Hmm, I killed some diamond djinns and one of them dropped a salvage item(i cant remember what it's called).
I salvaged it with a expert salvage kit, but i only got 12 glittering dust..
Maybe that could be salvaged to diamond?

I got a diamond from (expert) salvaging a pair of jeweled daggers, it was white, and not even max dmg. And a friend of mine got a ruby from salvaging a ruby djinn essence.

Ok, soon we'll see loads of ppl shouting WTB jeweled weapons, djinn essence etc..

The first djinn a killed dropped me a ruby dagger. I salvaged it and i got a ruby from it ^^. But it was the only time i got this from djinns.

Actually, if u go by the factions offical guide, it tells u, that the stuff like demonic essence( is that its name), essentially the aattaxe and smite collectors drops(if there was a collector) can indeed salvage into ectos.
It must just be an extrordinarily rare salvage

Yes, just like Amber and Jade stuff, Ruby/sapp/diamond stuff can rarely salvage into the gems.
For the essences...I think people have said its like 1 in 50 chance.

I've been saving my djinn essences -- I'll expert salvage those.
I got a sapphire by expert salvaging a geode (and got dusts salvaging 4 or so others)

Ive gotten a couple diamonds and a ruby from ordinary white items that drop from djins. The diamonds sold to trader for 1.3k each today. My advice, salvage everything that they drop.
pedmangler
anet added an inscription tonight called measure for measure it makes an item highly salvageable i found one yays

I expert salved 31 djinn essenses and got a ruby and a sapphire. From that calculation would be 1/15, but I have to continue testing to be sure. I'm planning on collecting 250 stacks of each and expert salving them to get a more accurate drop rate. I think salving all at once instead of one at a time will increase your chances as well.

Question 1: do you need to expert salvage the jewled weapons and Djini essences to get a jewl?
Question 2: Anyone try putting the highly salvagable inscription on an inscribably jewlled item?

Answer 1: Yes, since gems are a rare crafting material, you need to use a superior/expert kit to have any chance of salvaging one.
Answer 2: Yes, it's a very common practice to increase one's chances of getting a gem from said item.

salvaged a bunch of essences 6x got a ruby and diamond prob best to salvage jeweled items instead with inscription

Just a random ruby drop? Probably, completely awesome? Yes!
On the real though I tried farming some more crags in various places , I think it was just random.

I was doing the test, farming those Djins in Hidden City of Adashin (several runs, killing hundereds of Djinns). Collected 7 "Djinn Essences", 17 white "Jeweled" Items, 6 Purple "Jeweled" Items and 1 Gold "Jeweled" Item.
Since I dont have enough "Highly Salvagable Inscription", I inscribed the gold and 3 purple jeweled items.
Used Expert Savage Kit only.
Result:
Dust (too many, > 500 in total)
Iron: 87
Personal Conclusion:
Too poor results to be worth farming those Djinns. Salvaging Diamonds, Ruby and Sapphire is possible (according to others, not to me), but odds are...
