What is this madness in Mor Dhona?!

There I was, searching for PF groups for Levi and Ramuh EX, then I saw a player. They had the Recruit a Friend Chocobo mount that fits two people, after being amazed and jealous at this, they rode around a little up towards the Summoning Bells area.

Then I saw something so amazing it defied comprehension. A Carbuncle, Emerald, sitting on top of this wagon, no ACN attached to it. It was just a Carbuncle, free and adorable as always. It watched me as I examined it atop the cart, then before I thought to take a picture to prove I wasn't insane, it disappeared.

What was this?! I must know! My love for Carbuncle transcends time and space!

It's part of a roaming NPC that's looking for it. Sadly, you can't interact with either of them, though looking at her trying to find her Carbuncle is really fun.

That was Ruby! A rogue sentient carbuncle that is curious! Spawns random places in Revenant. If you look closer there is a miqo acn npc walking around looking for her!

Oh, that little guy belongs to an ACN NPC in Mor Dhona.

There's an NPC looking for it when it pops there.

It's a deeper shade of blue, even cuter than mine. I must have it...

<3 Ruby !

He's my lil' Carby buddy! I just wish this pic could be true and he could be out with me on SMN. I miss mine :3

He also sometimes spawns on the little shed by the Chocobo Porter. :3

Edit: Oh, and I think I once saw him hiding in one of the merchant stalls in front of Rowena's House of Wonders.

Found the little bugger once in one of the market stalls.

They should add Uriagnier's carbuncle roaming around in Waking Sands. It's a different type of carbuncle from the ones we can summon, I think it's peridot? A lot more yellow than the topaz carbuncle. Super adorable. ^^

Wait wait, Urianger has a carbuncle??

On a side note, the twins have arcanist books equipped as well. I am really curious what they are. (arcanist? summoner? scholar?)

More than likely Scholar given what they're doing...

This thread brings up some good questions. I never knew Urianger was an Arcanist. For that matter I don't remember seeing his carbuncle ever. o.O Where'd you see it?

And if the twins are Scholars, I wonder if they have specially designed fairies. And what is Minfillia exactly? We've yet to see her be anything other than helpless.

Hmm hmm hmm, definitely question's I'd like to see answers to.

during the main story
when the group is captured by the garleans you can choose to untie (i think two of them?) if you choose him he'll summon his carbuncle and help you fight

Oh hmm. I don't even remember that. Dang.

Based on job story, I doubt the twins are. Sch. I could see them being arcanist or smn though. More likely arcanist.

The twins used ruin at a point.

The obligatory monotone figurehead babe.

I've seen Hildibrand's father Godbert roams around Cerebellum Processing Plant.

I was mining away and he passed by me also looking for mining spots. I mine there a lot and have only seen him once.

It's little things like this that really make the game for me. Thank you SE, will have to keep an eye out to see for myself xD

That two seated chocobo came from this.

I saw the same chocobo. I really want one....

More Ruby goodness! Found her for the first time yesterday.

Ruby came to keep me company while waiting for Duty Finder (as a tank!" What madness is this?). First time I'd looked closely at a carbuncle. Damn they're twitchy.

I completely forgot about that (probably because I failed that fight a couple of times due to not untying him).

As for the twins, despite me naming it as a possibility I somewhat doubt they are scholar too.
The main reason for this is the lore. In both the SMN and SCH quest lines you are working on reviving a lost art. Most other job have someone teaching you their art, but SMN and SCH have you grasping at theories and you happen to get good results. Not to mention that in the SCH quest line it actually seems like the fairy is helping you learn new things.

Now considering who their grandfather was it is of course entirely possible that they were raised with knowledge that the rest of Eorzea doesn't have (I'm sure the circle of knowing knows lots of interesting stuff), and they indeed could be SMN or SCH, but with the lore in mind I do expect them to be arcanists in the end.

They are, haha.
I whished my carbuncle would sit like that when inactive. Poor thing was on battle standby 100% of its time. (Relax, that levemete is not going to attack us)

Ha I just figured when I saw it that a Summoner unequipped their job stone and summoned as Arcanist and positioned it. I have display/pet names turned off so no reason to note the absence of a name on this one. I wonder how many of my ACN/SMN friends I can convince to leave an Emerald Carbuncle out next time they go afk in Mor Dhona just to screw with people.

Unless they changed it, ours don't sit though. They remain standing, looking as if they are ready to tackle the next person that walks by.

Listen to your carbuncle! The Levemete's are totally up to something!

I had to bump this thread because I have also come across this glorious creature in the most peculiar place

That's awesome. I didn't even know Ruby popped up there.

It has been some while, but I foundRuby doing something I hadn't seen before: it was walking around the marketplace, sniffing at the ground.

It made a full round of the marketplace, then walked towards the 'no entry' door to the west of the House of Splendours and vanished.

Those screenshots remind me of doge.

The arcanist does it too if I recall correctly. I guess Miqo'te really do use their noses to track things.
