Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this but..

It *looks* like these guys should be a good source of gems for the 5k armor. Has onlyone seen a gem drop from them or gotten a gem off a ruby dagger or some such?

I've salvaged about 3 daggers so far and killed a bunch of djinns so far with only dust to show for it.

Same here, expert salvage on 5 or 6 Essence of Sapphire (drops from Sapphire Djinns) yielded dust. Never seen a gem drop so far

I imagine they will be like the jade brotherhood in factions that use to drop a jade chunk on a very rare occasion.

Carboplatin · Oct 31, 2006, 04:23 PM // 16:23

same, i got a couple of essences salvaged into dust. I havn't seen a gem drop in elona.

I salvaged a diamond from Jeweled Daggers. I have no idea how rare that salvage is.

how much did the trader offer for the diamond? i havent seen one selling yet.

I have not seen the Djinns yet as I am taking my time going through the game with a new toon. Though I would imagine that it is like mrcake has stated that it is a rare instance where they will drop them I bet.

Though must say that I was shocked to get a sapphire drop from a Am Fah Assassin after the update. I was farming the area south of the marketplace to get materials and got that drop.

The Prince · Nov 04, 2006, 03:25 AM // 03:25

i think diamond is a new drop without a use yet, much like rubies and sapphires had no use until NF, i could be completely off, but thats just my guess.

Jeff Highwind · Nov 04, 2006, 08:18 AM // 08:18

lol, Blood Diamonds. >__>;

But yea, I was hoping for the same thing. I think it's like the amber weapons where it may say (rare material) Weapon, but you don't actually GET said rare material.

Actually..you can salvage Amber from highly salvagable amber weapons..

I already posted info on the farm for this.

lol, that is one of the biggest untrue myths in the game (next to there being a working Gwen quest)

lundis · Nov 05, 2006, 10:26 AM // 10:26

Hmm, I killed some diamond djinns and one of them dropped a salvage item(i cant remember what it's called).
I salvaged it with a expert salvage kit, but i only got 12 glittering dust..
Maybe that could be salvaged to diamond?

Bug John · Nov 05, 2006, 10:52 AM // 10:52

I got a diamond from (expert) salvaging a pair of jeweled daggers, it was white, and not even max dmg. And a friend of mine got a ruby from salvaging a ruby djinn essence.

Ok, soon we'll see loads of ppl shouting WTB jeweled weapons, djinn essence etc..

Felix20 · Nov 05, 2006, 06:00 PM // 18:00

The first djinn a killed dropped me a ruby dagger. I salvaged it and i got a ruby from it ^^. But it was the only time i got this from djinns.

Actually, if u go by the factions offical guide, it tells u, that the stuff like demonic essence( is that its name), essentially the aattaxe and smite collectors drops(if there was a collector) can indeed salvage into ectos.

It must just be an extrordinarily rare salvage

Fossa · Nov 05, 2006, 06:48 PM // 18:48

I got this one:

And a pal got this one:

Former Ruling · Nov 05, 2006, 10:29 PM // 22:29

Yes, just like Amber and Jade stuff, Ruby/sapp/diamond stuff can rarely salvage into the gems.

For the essences...I think people have said its like 1 in 50 chance.
