We were just telling a guy in the group that ecto does drop in Fissure and he didn't believe us. He called us noobs and everything. Well karma reared about 10 minutes later and I took a screen shot.

This has been seen before- nothing new.
Although, I did not know that they could also drop phantom keys.

I know it is old news. But it is a great time to bring it up again, and with proof, and a little humor.

My friend told me over skype that he got a ruby off a smite in UW, I told him to screen shot it and send me it, ill post it once I get home tomorrow(300mi away)

his 1st ruby drop was from an aaxte, I still didnt belive him.. didnt think it was possable but, now I question it... he's been playing for maybe 2~3months?

My first Ruby was from an Aatxe too, seconds was from an spider in FoW and have seen one from the Shadow army. I'm guessing they can drop from anything in FoW/UW.

BTW why the heck would he lie about getting Rubies? If I were him I'd say I got a req 8 gold Crystalline from a Dying Nightmare.

Personally I use to solo aaxte's and dou'd alot of ecto (apart of a necro set chest and leggings, plus monk shoes handwraps and leggings, all other parts where pure gold buys from the old riverside rune runs/region merge, over 10mo's)

Yet have only found 2 shappires and not a single ruby... so for him to find 2 within such little time, was hard for me to grasp(I think they recently changed drop rates, or a lil lucky duck)

yes I have 2 monk fow pants... I like to freak people out and swap them fast for periods of time till they ask "WTF!?!??!" current colors are red and green, my common remarks are "My pants are in 3D"

Seen that once, we were doing the wailing lord quest. After we completed it and got the reward, we went to kill the wailing lord for fun. Needles to say the quest "failed" and we all died, but at the same time, the wailing lord dropped an ecto for some guy in the group

Ectos do drop in FoW, just very rarely.

Just some of the things that someone says isn't possible, or isn't normally probable.

I had a steel key drop for me from a monster in the southern shiverpeaks while doing THK. That was bizarre.

Is there any list of what has been confirmed to drop rubies and sapphires? I've seen them drop from smites, coldfires, dryders, and snarling driftwoods so far.

wish ive had that pic. got one outside of L.A.
wiki also say that:
Rubies and Sapphires are probably the rarest crafting materials in the game. They are even harder to find than Ectoplasm. They are usually found in the Underworld or Fissure of Woe, but there have been reports of them found in other areas of the game too, such as in Sorrow's Furnace. There has been at least one ruby drop in North Kryta Province from a Fire Imp, and a ruby drop from a stone elemental in Pockmark Flats and just outside of Sardelac Sanitarium.

well 2 now.

Just to clarify, it's not the location, it's the type of monster that affects the drop. Banshee's are "native" to UW, so they drop ecto. Mhago Hydra's are "native" to Ring of Fire, so they drop Darkstone keys.
