[ Rubies ~n~ Sapphires ]

Is it true that Rubies and Sapphires Can be Drop in other places?? Instead of UW or FoW

I got a ruby from TOPK and I have seen a sapphire drop there as well.

I had a ruby drop from a fire imp just west of Lion's Arch. Girlfriend had one drop from a gargoyle or grawl just east of Sardelac. At the time, no idea that I should've taken a screenshot. No idea on sapphires.

It is very true, I was helping a friend of mine do some early quests around the Ascalon City area, and a Sapphire dropped for her. It's an extremely rare occurence, but the possibility is there.

Maybe the drop rate will increase once factions come out if they're used in factions. I've never got one to drop and I've played since beta.

I got a ruby, i forgot how. whats it for and how much are they worth? someone offered me 350 gold for it, but I don't think so haha.

I think they're random, like black dyes. I got a ruby off a dead Charr outside Frontier Gates one time.

A guildie of mine when he started playing the game came out of presearing with a ruby. He was asking us what everything was used for and when he asked what a ruby was used for we wondered how a lvl 7 had got hold of something worth 5k that was not black dye.He told us it dropped off a gargoyle in the catacombs.
I think it is like the randomness of black dye. I have had one drop in the shiverpeaks and seen a few drop in Tombs and Underworld.

I've only ever had gems drop in UW, which seems typical (& FoW).
I am curious to know if anyone has had a gem drop recently in any unusual areas? In the months following the retail release of GW I had a few what I now know to be rare/odd drops in strange places, but I have a suspicion that with patching and game evolution this possibility has been eliminated.
Also, with the introduction of armor that utilizes gems for crafting, the drops should increase as more stones are put back into circulation.

They can drop anywhere.

I did a Granite Slab farming at Senerity Temple last time with my Ele (got deleted). I got 1 ruby there and 2 black dye.
Levi Garett
I had a sapphire drop four days ago when I was farming charcoal off of fire imps.
That's two sapphires and one ruby in 3.5mil XP solo farmed on my Monk.

I just got a sapphire off of a Fire Imp right outside of Lion's Arch 2 days ago. First time I've ever seen a gem drop in the game, and I've been playing since it came out. ^_^
I think I'm gonna keep farming there, maybe save up a few, and sell em high when they have big demand.

I've only ever gotten one ruby, back when my first character went post searing, off of an elemental outside of Ascalon. I sold it at (the appropriate) merchants along with a black dye I had gotten in presearing and felt like a king for a few weeks. I am going to try farming the ghosts in nolani just as an experiement to see how many it takes to get an ecto, lol.
Parn
did 6 dry runs in UW a couple nights ago only thing that dropped was gold spiked axe and a sapphire of aatxe....
when I first started playing GW one dropped in pre-sear but had no idea what is was for and sold it to a merchant *bonk*

I got a black dye drop yesterday from a primary quest or mission. I think it was in the ice cavern where you do a bonus where you kill that dragon thing. It's on the way to the Gates of Kryta.
I think I remember getting a saphire early in the game, but I'm not sure. If I did, I just sold it to a merchant. This is my first time through the game.
I wonder if Arenanet rewards gamers who don't farm that much. I arrived at Borliss Pass, then joined groups and zipped all the way to the Gates of Kryta. That's when I got a black dye drop on the way.

rubies and sapphires have the probability of dropping anywhere* in the game.
if u read the gw guide, then ull see that gargoyles have the highest chance of dropping both items.

I speculate that they drop everywhere, I have never seen one, but i have heard of them being dropped in Pre-Searing. They are, however, extremely rare.
badfish34668
i don't think they are that rare anymore. i have been seeing more drop every day.
maybe they increased the drop rate, in anticipation of factions?
