Not ruby crowns specifically but there are several comments about every other high end jewelry piece that dropped there.

The seafury drop nice gems: fire opal, saphire, fire emerald, and rubies.
^This is the 1 gem per 10 kills guy, All of those besides Fire Opal vendor for more than 50pp.

Quote:
have the chance to drop gems (Emerald Ring, Sapphire, Mythril Amulet, Fire Emerald, Fire Opal) that sell for 50+ pp
^June 2001.

being a 51 cleric me and my 51 mage friend can do constant pulling for 4 hours he pulls his pet kills 2-3 of them i med and then complete heal his pet after about every 3 battles mad 1 bub xp in 4 hours at 51 and 900pp to boot
This guy you mentioned doesn't specify if that was 900pp total in 4 hours, or 1800pp split between him and his duo partner. It sounds like the latter.

Also worth noting most of the guys are talking about xping on them in the mid 40's, the highest I see is a 51. It's not surprising a lvl 45 with the island to himself wouldn't have as many kills per hour as a lvl 60 necro/shaman/druid holding down 3 or 4 spawns.

Well, vendor pricing aside, the drop rates in the past on P99 certain sounded much, much higher. P99 strategy for 'good money' was to sit on a single spawn point of any seafury and make it profitable / worth your time.

That certainly doesn't seem like the case from these comments, would have been far more profitable than Rathe Mountains hill giants where you have to fight competition to find a mob as soon as it spawned.

I don't know what the P99 drop rate / frequency used to be, I just know it was such a crazy competitive atmosphere I never bothered.
