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 total, 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 beneficial to use on jobs with naturally high defense, such as Paladin.
- Stacks with Protect, but also counts it as base defense for the (25/256) increase.
- 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.
