The Enigma that is Ruby
Ruby's favors, rewards, and where to find her across the world.
About Ruby
In your travels around Ugaris, you will encounter the well-known lady Ruby on numerous occasions. She has a house in Aston next to Kelly, but if you go there unprepared, you will be shown the door in a rather abrupt fashion.
However, if you have met Ruby previously in your travels, been extra polite to her, and done the favors she requested, then after completing at least two favors, she will offer you a weapon. The weapon offered will be the one of your highest weapon skill, with two magical enhancements.
Ruby's Weapon Rewards
- Enhancements can be up to +20 depending on your level and the number of favors you have done.
- After accepting a weapon, the favors are reset, and you can do them again to claim another weapon when your stats are higher.
- The first Ruby weapon after 2 favors will have +3 stats, you need to be level 5 to use it.
- 3 favors give +4 stats, you will need to be level 10 to use it.
- You will always be able to use the weapon that Ruby gives you, which may limit the stats according to your level, max +9 pre Arch.
Ruby's Grudges and Resetting Favors
If by chance you annoy Ruby and she refuses to talk to you, she really holds a grudge, and that favor is closed to you. Your only recourse is to take a weapon; she then forgets all about you, resetting the favors. If the problem occurs on your first or second favor, you will have to locate and do other favors (to get two) to be able to accept a weapon.
Insights from Ishtar
"Ruby is a patient lady, and she does not mind (enough to change the reward) if you give the 2nd best answer. She will get angry if you insult her, though, but she's quite good at making that understood right away. Order does not matter at all. The bonus is limited to what you can wear, no matter how many quests you do. Different quests give a different amount of points. You can get something like 300 points total, but these are divided down to give a result in the +1 ... +20 range, so rounding may yield confusing results."
