Notes
- Decreases magic damage taken by about 4% (10/256)
- Increases Defense by about 10% (25/256) (At 193 defense gives 211 Defense (+18) at 712 Defense gives 781 Defense (+69))
- Stacks with Protect, but also counts it as base defense for the (25/256) increase (193 base defense, Protect II is 233 Defense for 40 defense, with Shining Ruby 255 Defense. You would expect 211 defense + 40, for 251 so we gained an extra 4 defense to protect II which is 10% of protect II's value, at higher levels it was adding 6 defense meaning it takes the entire defense rating, after protect and possibly other buffs and increases it by (25/256) meaning it is very good to use on already high defense jobs such as PLD)
- Wearing Carbuncle's Cuffs adds a Regen effect of 5 HP/Tick with the effect of Shining Ruby active.
- Shares a buff slot and does not stack with, in ascending order of priority: Rampart < Shining Ruby < Wind’s Blessing < One for All.
- If the paladin has one or more merits in Iron Will, it cannot be overwritten by anything other than Rampart from another paladin with one or more merits in Iron Will.
