Triple Ruby from Ruby Maul?
Recently salvaged a Ruby Maul with the Salv insc and got 3 Rubies, wondering if anyone has had such luck? I've never seen a triple gem salvage before oO /nosign

 * I Measure for Measure all of my Ruby Mauls for this reason, but I'm curious if anyone has acquired more than one ruby from a Ruby Maul that was not highly salvageable? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Axis (talk &bull; contribs) at 06:18, 29 April 2011  (UTC).

Net benefit of salvaging ruby mauls
Recently I've been lucky enough to acquire dozens of Ruby Mauls. I have been routinely applying Measure for Measure and (expert) salvaging them. About one out of a dozen drops a ruby (and, rarely, they drop two). My rough expenses are: 350 (merch value of maul), 150 (max cost of perfect sal used to extra MfM script), 16 (expert sal), or /ruby.Take into account the going rate for MfM and my expenses are. That's slightly better than the cost of buying trade contracts at 1 each.

When I checked a week ago, rubies were available at the local NPCs for, who might also buy them back for. That makes my efforts a decent investment if (a) I only shop at the NPC and/or (b) I hate spending time in Kamadan farming trades. (I don't see enough double-rubies to believe that changes the economics.)

However, I gotta admit it's a lot more fun seeing a ruby drop from the mauls than trading with either NPC or anonymous toons from Kam. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 16:30, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
