Are there rubys in the 1.4.2 FTBBTA? I can't seem to find any.

Yes, but they only appear in specific biomes. I'm not 100% sure but I think you can find them in deserts.

Jepp, Deserts and a range of Extra Biomes (Mountain Desert I know), also Sapphires only appear in ocean-biomes.

I have found loads of Sapphires in my taiga biome, well my quarry has anyway.. just sayin, and rubies spawn in the two desert biomes and in dense ore ages.

Also in Wasteland biomes. Basically any biome flagged as desert which I think includes savanna but I haven't dug around under one of them much yet.

Look for the red rock biomes. Red rock on the hills = red rubies in the hills.

Are they at diamond level or are they like emeralds random?

 

[Brewster1972]

Totally random. Although, I find I have more success searching down low near diamonds.

Rubies, much like emeralds and sapphires are found near the diamond spawning rates, so if you don't find that many, try digging between 5-12 y. ALSO sapphires are ONLY found in ocean biomes, and emeralds are ONLY in the extreme hills and EH edge biomes. I believe rubies should spawn in the other biomes, like plains and biomes, trust me, i have over 300 rubies in my ssp game, so it's not really an issue, i also believe that they are Ore dict friendly, meaning that the RP2 versions should be compatible.
