How to get Rubies in Skyward Sword HD
There are many ways to quickly get a large number of Rubies in Skyward Sword HD, so we will show you some simple methods.
As you play, you will sometimes see large purple cubes around the surface regions. These are called Goddess Cubes. Sometimes they are partially sunk in the ground or in hard-to-reach places, and when hit into the sky, they disappear into the air.
These goddess cubes activate treasure chests in the sky and will be located on your map. Many of these treasure chests contain large amounts of rubies.
Another great way to get Rubies quickly is to sell Bugs to Strich. First, you will need to make sure you buy the bug net from Beedle’s shop for Rs.50. Hey, it takes money to make money.
All over Skyloft and on the surface there will be various bugs to catch with the net. Insects can be used to make potions, but Strich will buy them for many rubies. It can be found at the Knight Academy at night.
Also, the treasure can be sold for rubies. Treasures like amber relics, golden skulls, monster claws, etc. It can be used to upgrade your gear, but a character named Rupin will buy it from you for a lot of rubies. He can be found at his home in Skyloft at night.
These are the quickest ways to get rupees, but initially you will only be able to carry 300 rupees at a time. There are a number of opportunities to upgrade your wallet to carry more.
The easiest but most expensive way is to update your wallet at Beedle’s Air Store, but it costs money and the updates are small.
It will take a while, but in order to get the best wallet upgrades, you need to help Batreaux find Crystals of Gratitude. He will upgrade your wallet to have much higher abilities after bringing him lots of Gratitude Crystals. You’ll want to make sure you update before maxing out.
