A detailed guide on how to make a Cut Ruby in LEGO Fortnite
- Dry Valley Caves are the hottest places in Lego Fortnite, so make sure you take a Rare Pickaxe with you in order to be as fast as possible. If you don’t have one, gather 3x Sand Claw, and 3x Flexwood Rod. (To get Sand Claws kill Sand Wolves in Dry Valley or beach areas. For Flexwood Rod, simply cut Cactuses to get Flexwood and process them in a Lumber Mill.)
- Once you have the necessary toolkit, head into a cave you can find in Dry Valley. These items can be mostly found sticking to the walls, so make sure to keep yourself alert. Ruby are red colored shiny rocks, so they are easy to spot, so break them using your Rare Pickaxe.
- After acquiring the base item, take it back to your base and place a Ruby inside the Gem Cutter. This process will take some time to complete, so be patient with it. Once the progression is over, you’ll get Cut Ruby in your inventory, which you can use to build Inner Fire Charm.
