NOTE: There is no definite build for this farm. Some maybe better than others.
This farming begins in Dasha Vestibule. You will want to speak with the Key to enter the hidden city.(note: I had finished the game before i found this, you may have to also.) Heroes seem a necessary evil, but you shouldn't have to take hench. Henchmen will reduce drops, but they can be really helpful. Also consider protective spirit. You enter, the hidden city, and now you kill all dijinns in sight. Watch for hidden pop-ups.Once you've cleared the starting circle, head to the middle exit. Please note the dp, death happens because I am stupid enough to bunch my group up during searing flames.

After a while, you will see more enemies.
Will add proof of sapphires and rubies when I can get a screenshot.

Also, me and a fellow alliance mate almost completely explored (more like ran) the whole explorable area while chest farming there. Lots of enemies all over. A lot of beetles too.

cleared the whole area with all hench and heroes, no ruby or sapphires so far. :P

i suggest going the middle way to the top, then the left one, as the right one is full of heket and silly plants.

good lightbringer farm btw^

(dont forget a prot monk : o)

yet have to get a ruby, sapphire or diamond, though - probs just as rare from those as from other enemys :P

oh and yeah, easy mo/r chestrunning place :\

last thing on a little note, all those trying their luck might want to cap Angelic Bond, Escape or E Surge on the way ^^

Or finish the game and talk to that hero in the endgame room... makes you able to take him/her anyway...

Anyway here's my solo djinn build:
(though it isnt really good and u have to rely on the spawns to kill something, you can't kill a group with 2 or more diamond djinns xD)

Me/Mo

equipment:
Armor with +energy and illusion head, superior runes on everything to make your hp 105(then with the offhand it will be 55)
Totem axe or other weapon with +20% enchant
-50hp offhand

Attributes:
12+1+3 Illusion Magic
9 Healing
9 Prot
And the rest in fast casting

Skills:
1. Illusionary weaponry
2. Pensive Guardian
3. Healing Breeze
4. protective spirit
5. Watchful Spirit
6. Mending
7. Essence bond
8. Balthazars spirit

How to do it:
First go outside dasha Vestibule and use the skills 5-8 (wait for energy to regenerate between you cast them)
Then cast prot spirit and aggro a group that does NOT have a roaring ether.
It's usually to the left in the beginning(if both sides have roaring ether restart)
when you have aggroed them cast healing breeze and pensive guardian if required(pensive guardian makes the sapphire/ruby djinns miss).
then cast IW and start slashing them. I've found out that it's easiest if you kill the diamond first, sapphire second and ruby last since the sapphire doesnt trigger essence bond and might cause problems and the diamonds can use angelic bond on the others which is annyoing.

This isn't fast or anything but it allows you to kill them(atleast some of them)^^
