Ruby Crystals are a valuable resource used in crafting powerful armor and weapons that provide significant stat boosts to players. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the requirements, steps, and tips to acquire Ruby Crystals in Hypixel SkyBlock.
Requirements
Before diving into the steps, let’s discuss the requirements that you need to meet before attempting to get Ruby Crystals:
- You must be at least Combat Level 16 and have a Gemstone Gauntlet to mine Ruby Gemstones.
- You must have unlocked the Crystal Hollows by completing the Precursor Ruins Discovery Quest.
Step 1: Mining Ruby Gemstones
The first step in obtaining a Ruby Crystal is to mine Ruby Gemstones. You can find them in the Crystal Hollows by looking for reddish rock formations. To mine these Gemstones, follow the steps below:
- Equip your Gemstone Gauntlet and head to the Crystal Hollows.
- Search for Ruby Gemstone deposits, which are reddish rock formations.
- Mine the deposits using your Gemstone Gauntlet.
Note that having a higher Mining Fortune stat will increase the amount of Ruby Gemstones you acquire per mined block. You can boost this stat with items, potions, and other bonuses.
Step 2: Crafting Ruby Crystals
Now that you’ve mined some Ruby Gemstones, it’s time to craft them into Ruby Crystals. You’ll need 160 Fine Ruby Gemstones, which can be crafted by combining lower-quality Ruby Gemstones. Here’s how to craft Ruby Crystals:
- Combine four Flawed Ruby Gemstones to craft one Fine Ruby Gemstone:
- Once you have 160 Fine Ruby Gemstones, craft them into a Ruby Crystal:
4 Flawed Ruby Gemstones → 1 Fine Ruby Gemstone
160 Fine Ruby Gemstones → 1 Ruby Crystal
Step 3: Using Ruby Crystals
Congratulations, you now have a Ruby Crystal! You can use Ruby Crystals to craft powerful armor and weapons, such as the Ruby Armor Set or the Ruby Sword. To craft these items, you’ll need to combine the Ruby Crystal with other resources and follow their specific crafting recipes.
