Rubies

Rubies are the premium currency in Clicker Heroes. They can be obtained from clickables, mercenary quests, or by purchasing them from the Shop using real money.

Obtaining Rubies

From the Shop

Rubies can be purchased directly via real money on all providers, except Kongregate.
Kongregate users will need to purchase Kreds to their account first and use those to buy the rubies.

Free Rubies

On PC

• From Clickables
  • Clickables have a small chance to drop a ruby when clicked upon.
  • On top of that, if a clickable does drop a ruby, there's a 4-100% chance it will drop a second one (depending on your Revolc level).
  • The cap for this is 25 times per ascension. Note: 25 times is not the same 25 rubies. Actually, even if you don't own Revolc, you still have a 4% chance to get a 2nd ruby from a clickable, which is 1 in 25. This means you will averagely end up with 26 rubies per ascension.
• From Mercenaries
  • Mercenaries can be sent on specific quests to obtain rubies (or a chance to obtain rubies).

On iOS/Google Play (Android)

• From Achievements
• From Clickables
• From watching videos (5 every hour)
• From watching videos after boss failed until app re-launched (25 every hour)
• From mercenaries

Other

• Developers occasionally publish limited-user promo codes for free rubies on the official Twitter page and/or Reddit page.
  • Promo codes can be redeemed by clicking the "Redeem" button in the bottom right corner of the Options menu and the menu button is shaped like a spanner.

Spending Rubies

On PC

The Shop

Most Ruby purchases can be made from the Ruby Shop, which is accessed by clicking the green button below the monster HP bar.

Note: On web browsers such as Armor Games, you must create an account and log in to it in order to use the shop. This can be avoided by going to the spanner at the top right, pressing it, clicking the 'save' button, saving your progress somewhere on your device, opening the original Clicker Heroes website, pressing the spanner on it in the top right, clicking 'import' pasting you date there and then you will be able to play with the shop.

Trivia

• The Ruby Shop (and with it, the Ruby system) was introduced in patch 0.17c. It only sold Timelapses, Gilded Heroes and Quick Ascensions at that time though.
• The cap for the amount of rubies per ascension was not introduced until patch 1.0. Before that, it was possible to play the game without ever having to ascend!
