Ruby equipment

Ruby equipment is a recurring set of equipment in the Final Fantasy series. They are generally far fewer in numbers than most other recurring equipment sets, and are most commonly found in the form of armor and accessories.
Ruby equipment tends to fall into the lower power category of equipment, as it is generally weaker than Mythril equipment and Gold equipment, but stronger than Leather equipment, Bronze equipment, and Silver equipment. The most commonly recurring Ruby equipment is the Ruby Ring.
