To obtain:
To obtain the Ruby Stone, you must complete all 61 levels of the Barkchem quest. This is one of the simplest quests, but it takes about two months to complete.
To begin, click on "quests" from the left-hand menu, scroll to the bottom, and select "Barkchem Quest." Be sure to chose the building, not the door. A message will appear stating that Padam noticed you nearing Barkchem and suggest that if you bring him an item, he may forgive you. Click on the button that says "ask Padam what he wants," and you will be asked to get just one item. Bring that item back to Padam within the allotted time, one hour, to finish each level. After you finish all 61 levels, you will receive the Ruby Stone.
Some things to remember:
-You can only do this quest ONCE a day.
-If you fail at any level of Barkchem, you will have to start back at the beginning.
-If the item he asks for is too expensive or you can't find it for sale, try asking on the shop boards. But remember, you only have ONE hour.
-Failing at certain levels can bring great rewards, too. Just remember that you cant have both!
Moving the stone:
To move the Ruby Stone, you must complete the Sharkfather quest. Go to the quest page, scroll down to the bottom, and select "Sharkfather." Chose "ask favor," and he will tell you to bring him some food from Shark-o-Bell. Once you bring him the food, he will ask you for information about a story, not a book. The name of the story and the town it's from will be listed in the question.
You will need to go to the "Towns" tab on the top menu and select any town. Once there, find the library and select whichever town the story was from from the drop-down menu. Read the story to find the answer to the question. When you find it, simply select the correct answer from the drop-down menu on the Sharkfather quest. If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded.
Some things to remember:
-You need pearls to buy food from Shark-o-Bell. These can be obtained from the Shipwreck quest. Shark-o-Bell food can also be bought from players.
-Shark-o-Bell food has a rarity of 1700.
-You need to have a libary card from the town of the story you're looking for in order to buy it. These are gotten from Tumid's quest, but it's random which one you'll get. You can buy them from player shops and swaps more easily.
-Sharkfather moves the stone randomly. There is never any guarantee that he will move the stone at any given time. You'll need to continue trying doing his quest until he moves it.
-You can only do the Sharkfather quest once every 12 hours.
