How to get Ruby Squid — step-by-step
- Play the Smithing event activities — Smithing introduces the Gem Egg (the only way to get Ruby Squid). Make sure you do all event-specific tasks, minigames, and harvests that reward smithing materials.
- Farm crafting materials aggressively — Needed materials for crafting Gem Eggs as things like coal, garden ore, ingots and other smithing drops. Prioritize nodes/activities that drop those. Stockpile as many as you can.
- Craft/obtain Gem Eggs — convert your materials into Gem Eggs whenever you can. Since the Ruby Squid rate is extremely low, volume matters: craft and hatch lots of Gem Eggs.
- Use boosts smartly — hatch during any hatch-rate / event boosters the game offers (if there are temporary boosts for egg hatch chances, XP, or speed) to maximize efficiency. Community mentions using boosts to make attempts “count” more.
- Track your attempts & trade — keep a count of how many Gem Eggs you hatch so you can estimate your luck. If trading is enabled, check marketplace/trade value for Ruby Squid (it’s already considered high-value).
What Ruby Squid Pet does:
- Support-style passives reported: copies/mimics other pets’ passives (often described as “Ruby Ink” or continuous mimic), gives resources/shards to pets, and can reduce cooldowns or give XP to pets. These make it extremely useful for speeding garden progress and supporting many pets at once.
Farming and crafting tips
- Prioritize high-yield nodes for coal/ore during the event.
- Join community Discords and trade channels to learn fast farming routes and to swap excess materials.
- Batch hatch — hatch many eggs in sessions (with boosts if possible) rather than one by one; psychologically easier and more efficient.
- Record & share your hatch logs (players love charts): helps the community refine real drop rates.
