Anyone know how rare these are from boxes? And what level Amber you need to get them?

Rare enough to not be worth the time and effort. Would be faster to farm the gil and buy the gem.

I've tried to farm them on many many many occasions and never saw but 1(and it was a lousy water gem). Too many hours spent there (though I was multi-tasking anyways) to say it's worth the time to try to farm them.

Damn, I'm having trouble finding ways to make gil between dynamis runs. Essentially I'm trying to raise the gil for HMP, and I have no idea how to make that much gil in a reasonable amount of time ><

someone needs to post a SS of these from chests in abyssea, i AE burn all the time and have never seen any of the elemental gems from abyssea, the beads drop all the time. im pretty possitive gems dont drop in abyssea. Ive AE'd enough in abyssea (usually hero zones) to bring my mule 6 jobs from 30-99 and all fully meritted and probably twice that amount for KI's/items I cant imagine the drop rate being being that low

wiki shows flame gem dropping via gold chests but says none of the other elemental gems do, that they are rare drops from NM's and crafted only

ya that chart says NM's though not from chests

I'm sure the drop rate is low, but I also kind of think that maybe the gems drop from lower grade chests, where as we cap amber if we're going after KI. If I ever come across one I'll post a ss

I got a Breeze Gem out of a giant gold chest in Abyssea - Grauberg while cleaving for Azdaja KIs so it is possible.

friend of mine said they are like geodes, and only drop on the day of the matching element, ie Flame Gem only on Fireday. I can't attest to this, as I have never seen any pop in a chest.

I've gotten a 'Light Gem' myself personally. It was in Abyssea-Altepa while I was Fell Cleaving 'Fear Dearg' at the Oasis. I've also seen a 'Breeze Gem' drop in the same exact area, same monster, while I was in a leech party. I am not stating that there is something about that spot, but simply that my findings just so happened to be in that spot due to its common use for Fell Cleave parties.
