How To Get Ruby in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey

Exploring the world of LEGO Fortnite Odyssey presents players with a wide range of challenges to overcome, from facing tough enemies like Brutes to navigating harsh regions like the Dry Valley and Frostlands biomes. To tackle these obstacles, players must stockpile various resources, each used to craft an array of essential items.

While hunting for resources, players may stumble into caves—the most reliable way to acquire gems. However, the type of gems found depends on the region. This is especially true for Rubies, which are essential for players looking to upgrade their arsenal. Here’s how to get Rough Ruby and Cut Ruby in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey.

How To Get Rough Ruby

Rough Ruby is a gem found exclusively within Dry Valley Caves. Dry Valley Caves can be found all across the Dry Valley biome and will be marked on the map once players come into proximity to them. However, before heading inside, players must ensure they have at least an Uncommon Cool-Headed Charm or better to avoid burning inside.

Once inside a Dry Valley Cave, players should look for Ruby nodes, which can be identified by their bright red color. These nodes can be harvested with a Rare Pickaxe or better, and once mined, they will drop Rough Ruby for players to collect. Now that players have obtained Rough Ruby, they can convert it into Cut Ruby.

How To Get Cut Ruby

Players frequently hunting for gems may already be well-versed in how to convert rough gems into their cut counterparts. Cut Rubies, like many other gems, can be crafted via a Gem Cutter. For those who have not built it yet, the Gem Cutter can be constructed through the Build Menu using the following resources:

• 20 Metal Plates
• 15 Bright Core
• 5 Blast Core
• 3 Brute Scale

Once the Gem Cutter is built, players can interact with it and select the Cut Ruby recipe before depositing Rough Rubies to convert them into Cut Rubies. One Cut Ruby can be crafted from one Rough Ruby, making it easy to determine how many Rough Rubies are needed before heading out to gather them.

What Is Cut Ruby Used For?

Crafting Weapons

Much like other gems, Cut Rubies can be used to craft Epic rarity gem weapons and equipment via the Crafting Bench. Players can use Cut Rubies to create the limb, blade, or head of weapons and tools, allowing them to craft items like Ruby Swords, Axes, Crossbows, and more.

Ruby weapons are comparable to other gem-based tools in terms of damage. However, Cut Ruby provides the highest speed stat of all gems in the game, making it an excellent choice for players looking to deal extra damage or gather resources more efficiently.

Cut Rubies can also be used to craft various other items, including Gem Shields, Gem Flint-Knocks, and Gem Muskets, all via the Crafting Bench. Additionally, Cut Rubies are a vital crafting component for Star Wars weapons like the DL-44 and E-11 Blasters, both of which can be crafted using the Rebel Workbench.

Creating Storage

Cut Rubies can also be used to build Ruby Chests, which serve as storage units that can be crafted via the Build Menu. Ruby Chests require only 4 Cut Rubies and 2 Metal Plates to create and can hold up to 28 different stacks of items, making them both easy to build and the best storage option available.

Building The Legendary Forge

While Ruby Chests are useful, Cut Rubies are also essential for building the Legendary Forge, a utility station that allows players to upgrade their weapons to Legendary status using Rift Crystals. Players can construct the Legendary Forge via the Build Menu using the following resources:

• 3 Rift Crystals
• 8 Iron Bars
• 6 Cut Rubies
• 5 Rift Shards

Crafting Charms

Much like other gems, Cut Rubies are also used in crafting charms—specifically, the Epic Inner Fire Charm. This charm significantly increases the player’s resistance to cold temperatures while also providing 3 extra hearts and 3 defense points.

The Epic Inner Fire Charm can be crafted at the Crafting Bench using the following materials:

• 3 Silk Threads
• 5 Cut Rubies
• 3 Blast Cores
• 1 Sand Brute Scale
