  • I think carby doesn't like me...

    I'm looking for the Ruby.

    I've killed about 50 leaches in Buburimu, and about 20 in quifm, still no drop.

    I think carby just doesn't want to be my friend.

    Which is the better place do you think? i can kill Bubu ones quickly without resting, quifm ones are sometimes EP, i can kill them with no rest but it is a lot slower.

    at least my npc fellow is loving all the action.

    any advice gratfully accepted.

    Sometimes getting that drop happens almost immediately. As was the case with me, it also can take the greater part of a century to get it to drop. If the Buburimo ones are easier for you I would stick with those, Ive "heard" its a better place to get the drop anyways. Only thing I can suggest is be patient, go on a leech killing spree and eventually it'll drop. May be easier if you have two or three friends help as well, more leech kills per century may help.

      I got lucky and got mine when I did the rank 4 mission... while I was finishing up in the tower my ls was killing leeches outside and a ruby dropped.

      as far as where, I would go down by the beach in bubu where a bunch pop and wipe them out as they pop.

        I got mine in maze of shakimara down by whatever NM spawn they are at. Annoyed a BST enough by killing all his pets till i got one too. The drop rate seems very random on them, ive seen folk get em on successfull kills, yet i went for 30 or 40 before i ever got one.

        Just keep trying ^^

          yeah thats what i've been doing, and i've killed loads (about 50 or so) yet still no drop. Just checking i'm not missing something important.

          So far i've just waited to see if i get one in normal play, but the other day i set out to get it deliberately, went hunting in Quifm killed about 20 (i read most people get it in five or so kills there) then decided to try my luck in Buburimu, hacked away there for a while but still no luck.

            Are you using any Treasure Hunter? 1 or 2? Find a THF with atleast TH1 to help you out.

              Treasure Hunter seems to help with Carbuncle's Ruby. I've always had good luck finding rubies for people in Buburimu, but the poison leech room in Shakrami is the way to go if you can survive the swarm of aggro that you'll get. NOTE: I don't recommend the poison leech room to anyone below level 60 or so, unless you have Phalanx and are GOOD with it. They'll all attack you once you attack one.

                I had high level help and it took me 3 hours to get the drop. We did it in Quifim, took forever but at least it's worth the wait.

                  I've spent about 4 hours doing this with TH1 in Bubu, and not a single drop. Summoner is the only job that I havn't unlocked.

                    The only thing I can suggest is keep at it. Mine took about 3 hours to drop (over the course of a few days of trying). Put on some music or something to pass the time, and if you really get tired of it just do something else and try again later Good luck~

                      I tried the leeches in Dangruf Wadi, then Valkurm, then Shakrahookity Maze, and got killed there. My ruby dropped off the third Buburimu leech.

                      Clearly, this is the foolproof method, and you should all rush out and try it right now. Guaranteed to work*.

                      There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

                        Don't know how much impact TH1 makes, but for what it's worth I have a THF main who IIRC actually got Carbuncle's Ruby from unlocking NIN.

                        Of course, my other character (WHM main) is the one whom I'm actually planning to unlock SMN for. >_<

                          I hunted my Ruby in Bubu for about two days with a friend, both of us 30 and no TH. We killed so much that we almost leveled to 31 starting at like 1% into 30, getting 20 exp per kill. All I can suggest is get a friend to help, if you're a healer get a someone who can constantly do damage while you rest and heal them to keep them going continiously.

                          Good luck!!

                            Find a high level blm to -ga all the leeches in Maze of Shakrami.

                            I took me 1000-1500 or so kills (I lost count after the 23rd hour of killing) before I got someone to -ga a couple hundred for an hour or so.

                              yeah thats not really an issue so much as, a rdm with regen and refresh i can farm the leeches pretty much non-stop. faster than they spawn really.

                              i really hope i don't hit that many before i get it. Doesn't -ga spells gimp drops now though?


                              I've got a theif friend coming to help me tommorow, i'll let you know how it goes.
