Where to Find Ruby in Aion 2: Best Spots, Map & Farming Route

Where to Find Ruby in Aion 2

Ruby comes from Ruby nodes, one of the three Gem nodes you gather with Essence Extraction (Aion 2's gathering skill). You'll find them in Verteron and Altgard, in clusters, so the fastest way to collect Ruby is to pick a cluster and loop it.

Need Splendent Ruby for the gathering upgrade quest? It also comes from these same Ruby nodes, as a rare drop. There's no special node: just keep gathering Ruby until it drops. See the Splendent Ruby quest guide.

How to Farm Ruby Fast

1. Open the Ruby map and pick a cluster with many nodes close together.
2. Loop that cluster. Nodes respawn in the same spots after a while, so a short loop beats running across the zone.
3. If other players are farming the same cluster, move to the next one instead of competing for nodes.
4. Mix in the other Gems on your loop: Diamond and Sapphire nodes often sit nearby.

Gathering Basics

Gathering unlocks at character level 10. Ruby uses the Gem part of Essence Extraction, and gathering levels up your proficiency from Novice to Professional. When you hit Novice level 50, progress stops until you finish an upgrade quest that needs a Splendent Ruby: see the Splendent Ruby guide.

For node counts by area and every pin on the map, see Ruby in the resources database. For all gathering materials, see the resources map guide.
