In Palworld, each item serves a unique purpose, from making consumable meals to keep the health of yourself and your pets going strong, crafting weapons to gather resources, or building facilities to improve your Base. Knowing how to source each item will enable you to build necessities and refine tools much quicker and more easily, among other things, especially as you progress in levels and unlock new facilities. Unlike more common items in Palworld, there is just one way to obtain Rubies, making them very valuable.

Rubies can be sourced in Palworld as a potential drop from a small selection of Pals. This means that for the chance of a Ruby to drop with or instead of other loot drops from that Pal, you will need to either kill or capture one of the creatures capable of doing so. There is no guarantee that Ruby will drop upon doing so, but as long as you keep hunting for these specific Pals, there is a solid probability that you will be able to collect one or more Rubies.

Ruby can be acquired as a potential drop from the following Pals:

What to Do With Ruby in Palworld, Explained

In Palworld, Ruby appears to be quite different from most items, which are used in recipes for creating food to maintain HP, crafting weapons to gather materials from the world, or building objects and facilities to improve your Base and make it much more homely. Instead of being incorporated into recipes, the description of Ruby indicates that it can be exchanged with a merchant for high value, earning you a solid 5000 Gold Coins per piece sold.

Because of this, collecting and selling Rubies is a great way to cash in and earn a bunch of easy Gold Coins in Palworld. When you don't quite have enough Gold Coins to buy some items you need, or even a Pal from the Black Market, you can simply locate one of the several Merchants around the world map, and sell a bunch of Rubies to remedy your lack of money. This will enable you to earn a bunch more cash within seconds, meaning that Rubies and other valuable items are more than worth collecting when possible and stashing up in your collection.
