Prior to the release of the Gemstone Crab, Ru Merald could be found at various locations from the first part of Varlamore. He requested help from the player with scientific digs, with each dig awarding an uncut gem:
Although he can no longer be found nearby the dig locations, the player can still dig up the gems with a spade if they haven't previously done so.
Ru Merald's name is a combination of "ruby" and "emerald", referring to the gems previously awarded for helping him and his interest in the Gemstone Crab.
