Ruby Weapon Damage Profiles and Harvest Mining Speed

guide

The Ruby weapon and tool tier in Mythic Upgrades provides aggressive melee damage profiles and rapid excavation speeds forged through netherite smithing upgrades.

Combat Efficiency of Ruby Weapons

The Ruby Sword and Ruby Axe represent apex physical damage dealers:

Ruby Sword: Delivers high per-hit damage that easily dispatches common hostile mobs with fewer strikes than standard diamond or Netherite swords.
Ruby Axe: Boasts immense burst damage that can disable shields and land critical blows against armored opponents.

Harvesting Performance of Ruby Tools

Ruby utility tools provide top-tier efficiency:

Ruby Pickaxe: Excels at rapid deepslate tunnel boring and cuts through obsidian effortlessly when paired with Efficiency V.
Ruby Shovel and Hoe: Feature enhanced durability pools that resist wear during massive terraforming projects.

Forging and Upgrading

To assemble Ruby equipment:

Combine 4 Ruby gems and 4 Necoium Ingots in a crafting table to make 1 Ruby Ingot.
Visit a Smithing Table and combine a Mythic Upgrade Smithing Template, your Netherite weapon or tool, and 1 Ruby Ingot.

All enchantments and custom names carry over completely to the upgraded Ruby item.

Combat Synergies and Enchantments

To maximize Ruby weapon output in challenging combat scenarios:

Apply Sharpness V and Fire Aspect II to create devastating damage-over-time combos.
Pair the weapon with Strength II potions to take down Wither bosses and Warden encounters rapidly.
Keep Sweeping Edge on the Ruby Sword to clear packed hostile mob swarms in automated spawner farms.

Boss Combat and Elite Mob Tactics

Ruby weapons excel when tackling high-health bosses and dangerous subterranean mobs:

The massive base damage of the Ruby Axe can break through the defensive postures of vindicators and piglin brutes in bastions.
Using a Ruby Sword with Looting III maximizes drop rates for rare mob items like wither skeleton skulls and blaze rods.
When facing flying bosses like the Ender Dragon or airborne ghasts, switching to a Ruby Sword allows you to inflict heavy melee burst damage during grounded landing phases.

Weapon Maintenance and PvP Tactics

Mastering Ruby weaponry gives combatants an edge in player-versus-player duels:

The crushing attack strength of the Ruby Axe can penetrate through enemy shield guards during close-quarters combat.
Switching swiftly from axe shield-breaks to high-speed Ruby Sword strikes delivers fatal burst combos.
Maintain weapon edge sharpness by combining mending with experience bottles stored in your hotbar during prolonged sieges.
