Wow, spot on! I found one of these just a few minutes ago and was heading here to find out what they are for! And I am level 19, killing around Old Ascalon...for easy charcoal and tanned hides. I'll be checking here for updates!

What might i ask, drops charcoal around Ascalon ?
Only thing that i knew that dropped it were fire imps.

Ketendra · Jun 21, 2005, 03:17 PM // 15:17

for the charcoal kill elementals, they are rare to get but all of the elementals in the game have a chance to drop it.

Don't think this will actually help anyone but someone was selling a ruby for 75k in La a while ago. The person told me it was for weapon crafting. And I've seen rubies drop in the underworld, but not anywhere else. I'm hanging on to the one I have, hopfuly it will be worth something soon.

Reiden Argrock · Jun 21, 2005, 08:12 PM // 20:12

I think that guy was pullin some legs lol, I've been everywhere except to FoW armor crafter, and never seen any crafters that require ruby's or monstous items.
And I've seen pics of FoW crafter so I know he doesn't take em.
I would just hold on to em. Unless you see someone 'Offer' 75k for one

The traders like that have to sell what anyone sells to them. So you found a rare moment after someone sold the trader their ruby.

Akilles · Jun 23, 2005, 12:24 PM // 12:24

was the ruby put in from the last update? the last few days are the first i have heard of them, this must be setting ppl up for some cool thing. Some said it would be a form of money and worth more than platinum but that is doubtful since the collector will buy it.

Lord Drenth · Jun 23, 2005, 01:12 PM // 13:12

according to the strat guide, rubies, saphires and (one other gem I can't recall) are just part of normal "rare" drops. I think they are only meant to be sold, but I will check the guide again when I get home.

It could be something that's in the game code that is glitching into appearance and isnt supposed to be there till another expansion is released. One never knows.

on that note, i have found a monstrous claw (still hanging on to it).. but what's more interesting is this tattered girl's cape i found. in fact.. maybe i'll take a screenshot of it.

it's a salvage item, but you can't salvage it. and it looks like a tapestry shred (which i also have, and have no idea what to do with). weird eh? i found it just outside fisherman's haven, right next to the shore from a group of skales and mergoyles.

any of you ever found this one?

Ketendra · Jun 23, 2005, 02:47 PM // 14:47

you must have been holding onto that cape for a while, because in one of the recent patches it was changed from a salvage item to a quest item.

suzumebachi · Jun 23, 2005, 02:50 PM // 14:50

yeah i've had it for quite a while.. what's it used for anyways? and what do i use the tapestry shred for? i also still have gwen's broken flute from wayyy back at the beginning of post-searing.

elenna · Jul 01, 2005, 07:19 PM // 19:19

Bumping to see if anyone now knows what these items are good for.

I've recently found a monstrous claw and a monstrous eye. I have no idea what they are for.

I believe my storm bow's rarer then your ruby. Worth more too. Unfortunately the first ruby I found was in the UW. Someone was saying you need them for FoW elementalist hats. (stone's/glacier's/flame's/storm's eye).
