Anyone find a damn Ruby?

I'd like to upgrade the paladin's bracers to wonddrous gloves but I can't find a ruby ANYWHERE. I'm sure I missed one, but I was careful to look while playing through a second time. They don't even have it listed in the gem index in the strategy guides.

I don't think a ruby is needed. At least, I didn't need one. I just coughed up the 5000 gold or however much was needed, and that was it.

I think there is some sort of misunderstanding here...Upgrading the Paladin's Bracers to Blessed Bracers(or the other way around, don't remember) requires 5k gold, upgrading the Bard's Gloves to Wondrous Gloves requires money and lots of gems(ruby, sapphire, diamond, emerald, rogue stone, IIRC)...And for the original question: I don't remember where, but I THINK I got a ruby from somewhere in ToB.

I don't remember finding a ruby either but somehow cespenar was able to upgraade both my blessed bracers for the paladin and the bard's gloves to wonderous gloves. I just collected gems along the way for the wonderous gloves.

Erm, I don't think BG2 has any rubies. At least, I don't ever recall coming across one.

Maybe it's (another) typo and you actually need a ruby ring.

You don't need the ruby for the Wondrous Gloves

This seems more like it! In ShadowKeeper there is a Ruby ring but no regular Ruby...

I just did my upgrade of bard gloves and pally bracers yesterday and I did not have any rubies so just make sure you have got all the other gems!

There IS no ruby in the game, period. This is a mistake in the Equipment section...
