Not that I saw in the FPE, anyone know if this is confirmed from people who actually know? (Anet staff usually)

twicky_kid · Apr 01, 2006, 01:49 AM // 01:49

As mentioned from gaile they will be some use but might not be as expensive as they are not.

Notice that word MIGHT in their so she might be lying.

Actually, You're wrong. Gaile never said they'd be used in Factions at all. She merely said that they'd be used in the future. Everyone is stockpiling them and they don't even know if they'll have any use at all in Factions. It's possible that they won't be used until Chapter 3 or later. It's possible that they'll eventually work a use for them into the original Prophecies Campaign sometime after the release of Factions. No one knows.

I have a Monstrous Claw or Fang or something... I wonder when are those going to be useful for anything...

Yeah I noticed very often I see people "WTB Rubys & Saphs" but uhh why? I guess they are gambling their money: hoping that in factions they are required for something. So its a maybe from what im reading. Thats cool.

I got no problem with ppl doing this as long as A.net is not thinking:

"alot of ppl are buying this stuff so we should give something very special wich can be made by these things"

it has to work the way around

LifeInfusion · Apr 01, 2006, 03:10 PM // 15:10

Everyone is just spculating. EVery one of them I sold to the material trader. They just aren't worth betting on. We already know jade and amber are needed for 15k. So unless the "FoW-equivalent" needs them, there will be no use for them.

Rebel Dragon · Apr 01, 2006, 03:36 PM // 15:36

i think they will get some use now... notice the vials of ink needed for ritualist armors

not needed in chapter one but in factions they are needed

ghostlyranger · Apr 01, 2006, 04:27 PM // 16:27

because all the rich players area alraedy stocking up it before they got any use,

so i am very sure, they will not have any use at all in faction. or it will just drop like mountain troll tusk

SincorpDeath · Apr 01, 2006, 05:07 PM // 17:07

I'm hoping that their prices in factions plummets, for example, there will be an area that drops saphs and rubies like mad.

I don't know which log you are looking at or if was even captured. This was a few days before the FPE.

Someone asked are they going to be of any value when factions comes out. She replied they will be of value but might not be as much as they are now. They will be of use but might be more common in the game.

EagleEye33 · Apr 01, 2006, 09:46 PM // 21:46

I have some, becuase they dropped for me. So im keeping them as the gamble instead of selling them. ( i dont need money that bad). It couldnt hurt to have a few.

I hope they do have a use for armor or something, cause I think they would look nice if u can actually see the detail of rubies or sapphires on your clothes....who knows it will be the "bling" of Cantha lol :P

Rayne Nightfyre · Apr 01, 2006, 10:08 PM // 22:08

Being that the equivalent of 15k armor will require Amber and Jadeite, if I were one that spent huge sums in investing in Rubies/Sapphires, I'd be pretty afraid right now. Nothing was ever confirmed regarding the use of Rubies/Sapphires in Factions, so don't be too surprised if we see these items dropping from 6.5k back down to 200g almost instantly.

Although it's pretty neat that anyone can have access to Amber/Jadeite buy spending faction points, I think that still encourages grinding/farming in the sense that people will farm for any faction they can get their hands on.

But about the Rubies and Sapphires, it's difficult to say for sure since all we have to go on right now are rumors.

Gale DID confirm they will be used in Factions MONTHS ago... go read throuhg some old archives (I won't do the work for you).. you will find where she says it...

Prophecies 15k armor doesn't use any really rare (expensive) materials. No chance Factions FoW armor uses Amber or Jadeite, they are way too common and easily attained. It will be either ecto and shards, rubies and saphire, or some other combination of very rare materials.

Lots of rumor that rubies and saphire will be used for jewelery of some sort.

Factions FoW armor will definately not use rare materials that do not drop in Cantha, and I highly doubt they want people who hoarded materials in Chapter 1 to be able to buy FoW equivalent armor in chapter 2, because they want people to farm for it =P So it'll probably be something that's Cantha specific. It might use a bit of rubies/sapphires, but the "main" rare component will probably be something new.

Gaile did mention this but said it would most likely be in chapter 3 if it does happen.

Mako · Apr 02, 2006, 08:31 AM // 08:31

All good info.

I dont really stalk gaile and her chat logs (though they are informational) I was in LA Int once and the massive crowd of people asking questions was just annoying but thats an entire different issue.

All big maybes and guesses.
