Beside dragons/ww?

Gargoyles seem to be the best thing ive come across. 3 gems, one hit kill. Anyone else know of anything?

Might have to start doing some treasure hunts!

Dragons drop 8 gems each plus scales and barbed leather.

Yea, dragons and gargs are the best.
Firesteeds for rubies (15-30), but they don't have a good spawn location.

Gargoyles and earth elementals work for me. Bonus with earth elementals is fertile dirt. :)

Gargoyles (Level 4 Hyth has a spot that puts you up against 5 or 6 at a time on a pretty constant cycle)

Solen (the "warrior" ones)

Earth/ore elems

Mummies (One good spot in Ilshenar for these)

Crystal Elems (Though they tend to be very spread out)

For reference. Siege gold is worth what... 7 times more than normal shard gold?

Not saying its "good" but stone harpies drop 2 gems each and they give 50 feathers (in Fel) and in you go to covetous they spawn so fast you cant wipe the spawn out yourself...

Dragons, Hiryus have a rare chance of dropping 20, fire steeds drop lots of ruby's. My fave though are the black solen infiltrators by despise in trammel, near the entrance of Wind.

I forget, what does fertile dirt do again? Double growth check or double resources or what?

chance to get an extra day when growth checking (green + indicates it in the plant gump) .. so you need less days growing a plant if you are lucky

you can use the stratics advanced monster search and type in gems and it will give you list of what carries gems ! also you can put say 4 gems and it will tell you what all gives four!

I believe GM miners can buy a book in Ter Mur that lets them set their shovel to mine the regular (non-ML) gems instead of stone (and in addition to ore).

Well, good thing for us is that we only have to worry about making it to 70. After that it´s downhill... :D

For some unknown compulsive reason, I have been saving gems. A couple of months ago I decided to sell off all but 400 of each type. I used gypsy camps to get a decent price.

Looks like I'll be vending them on LS!

NPC jewelers sell them. Where did you get 300 each?

I see that. That will be very helpful.
