I got my first ever ruby drop farming Hulking Stone Elementals outside Sardelac Sanitarium in HM

My first run, too

I usually get my gems from buried treasure in Elona and trading Trade Contracts, my first gem drop was a Ruby in the FoW, that and UW is where I got most of my gem drops then again I'm not actively hunting for them right now.

BTW I do have a question: Why are Rubies currently more expensive then Sapphires? They are used with Sapphires for armor, and they should have an equal chance of dropping monsters and salvaging right? (with the exception of ruby weapons)

i agree, but im not complaining that saphires are cheaper, lol. but what i have a problem with, is why at one point were rubies more expensive than Ectos? i recall checking a material trader and seeing rubies at 6.6k...then a few days later it went back down.

I dunno the general trend I'm seeing is that Rubies are usually 5k and Sapphires are 2-2.5k from the Rare Material Trader, Just curious why that's the case.

Rubies 4.8k-5.5k
Saps 3.1-3.8k
Ectos 4.7-4.8k

I see rubies higher than ectos quite often

I'd say that's because ectos are a lot easier to farm, and the only reason people still want to buy is because the UW is hard to solo for a few people and the amount of ectos needed for FoW armor is stupid.

Just got a blue jeweled dagger drop from a heket, it came with a measure for measure inscript, so i expert salvaged it, and it salvaged into a sapphire, pretty cool. thx for the info guys.
