How to Get Ruby
Break Rare Ore Deposits
Rubies can be obtained from rare ore deposits after breaking them. Rare ore deposits have a golden tinge, can drop other rare ores, and can be found in various areas and caves.
Rare Ore Deposits Locations
| Map View | Location |
|---|---|
 |
Cave near Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower XYZ Coordinates: 1337, -1195, 0567. |
 |
Death Mountain |
 |
Yiga Clan Maritta Branch XYZ Coordinates: -0643, 2032, 0158. |
 |
Puffer Beach Overhead Cave XYZ Coordinates: 0283, -3850, 0003. |
Since the deposit drops random ores, it's best to save before breaking the deposit, then keep breaking the deposite and resetting until you get a Ruby.
Set the Sensor + to Rare Ore Deposits
Setting the sensor to a material that can be found in the overworld will let you track it when nearby. This is a must when farming for materials.
Defeat a Rare Stone Talus
A Rare Stone Talus will drop rare ores and a Stone talus Heart to fuse with your weapons, upon defeating it. Unlike other Talus, their weak point resembles a rare ore deposit, which shines and twinkles in gold.
Rare Stone Talus Locations
| Rare Stone Talus | Location | Coordinates |
|---|---|
 |
Guchini Plain 1020, -3379, 0023 |
 |
Near Horse God Bridge 0517, -3700, 0059 |
 |
South of Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower -2314, -2454, 0358 |
 |
Inside Taafei Hill Cave, North of Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower -2605, -1778, 0177 |
 |
In Tanagar Canyon, North of Turakawan Shrine -3482, 0178, -0104 |
 |
In Drenan Highlands, North of Kikakin Shrine -0388, 2954, 0147 |
It would be best to save before fighting one of them as their attacks are fatal, and it would be good to reset a fight until you receive your desired drops.
How to Use Ruby
Sell Rubies for Rupees
| Sell Price |  110 |
|---|
Rubies can be sold for 110 Rupees each at any shop or traveling merchant.
Sell to Ramella in bulk for more rupees
You can sell ores to Ramella for a much higher price per piece! The catch is you can only sell ores in units of 10 and Ramella will be buying specific ores per day.
