Cost Analysis

Gold Value

• 150 health =  400
• Total Gold Value =  400

Gold Efficiency*

• Ruby Crystal is the basic item from which the gold value for the stat health is deviated (approximately 2.67 per point of health).

Similar items

Sapphire Crystal

Strategy

• While Ruby Crystal is a potential starting item, Doran's Shield is generally preferred for the health regeneration and basic attack mitigation it provides in lieu of Ruby Crystal's additional 70 health. However, Ruby Crystal does have the advantage of building into many useful items, while Doran's Shield must eventually be sold.
