## Notes we already publish

- (use) Ruby is inert as a material. No bench recipe, no structure, no Technology entry and no NPC request consumes it — the whole point of the gem is the counter at a merchant. There is no reason to keep a reserve in the chest "for later": anything you are holding is gold you have not banked yet.
- (strategy) Only two of the six Pals that carry it are worth routing a trip for. Tetroise and Roujay hand over 1-2 every single time they go down; everything else on the list is a 1-5% incidental you will get while doing something else. Treat Ruby from Relaxaurus, Direhowl and Vanwyrm as a bonus, never as the plan.
