Guild Wars 2

Ok so I’m trying to give my character some extra pow/prec/crit, and I heard you could put “rubies” in armor… and I thought that meant Exquisite Ruby Jewels, but when I go to put them on my armor, it doesn’t work. Is that what I need to be buying, OR do I just need lvl 400 jewelcrafting to be able to do this (I’m lvl 301 right now, so going that last 99 wouldn’t be an issue)? Thanks in advance for the answer

Exquisite(and presumably the other gem recipes purchased with karma) will not socket in anything except jewelry. However the base gem (ie ruby orb) will work just fine.

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying
