How to find and obtain Jade in RuneScape Dragonwilds

Jade is a rare gemstone in RuneScape Dragonwilds . It is used for crafting high-tier gears and weapons. Unlike the common ores, these green gems hide in Stormtouched Highlands ' dangerous corners. While the veteran players swear about the specific mining routes, the newcomers have wasted hours chasing the false leads. This is why, to obtain it, you need preparation, persistence, a bit of luck, and this guide. Here is how you can track it down without falling prey to the deadly surprises of the highlands.



Finding Jade in RuneScape Dragonwilds



Stormtouched Highlands, this is where your hunt will begin. The high-level zone is packed with environmental hazards and level-4 enemies. The iron ore nodes spawn along the mountainous areas and cliffs, appearing as the brown-veined boulders. To mine them, you will at least require the Bronze Pickaxe.


Note: To upgrade to the higher-level tools will improve your efficiency.


While the Rocksplosion spell will help speed up mining, some players have reported it will lower the drop rate of jade. So, if you are just after the gen, some manual mining will be better to try.


Additionally, unlocking the Gem Prospector perk at Mining Level 16+ will boost your chances. To expect grinding the rarity of Jade means you might mine Iron Ores in a dozen before you see one Jade.



Survive the hunt and use Jade

Before you head into Highlands, make sure to gear up with the Bronze Armor or, even better, to withstand the lightning strikes and the enemy attacks. The Blighted Wolves of the region and the Stormcallers hit quite hard. So, bringing the healing items along with you will be wise.


After obtaining Jade, the primary use of it is to craft the powerful ranged weapons, including

• Blightwood Longbow- Crafting table
  
• Hunter’s Stagbow- Smithing Anvil
  
• Draconic Staff- Smithing Anvil
  

All of these need some additional materials, including Vault Shards, Blightwood, and Iron Bars. So, to stock up when you are mining will be a smart move. If the RNG is not on your side, make sure you team up with more players, as it would mean more chances for someone to find Jade and trade the same.



Why is it important to get Jade?

In the game, where the gear is all about the progression, the role of Jade is the top-tier weapon crafting. It makes it invaluable. While the grind might seem frustrating, the payoff, irrespective of selling it for profit or to forge the endgame bows, justifies all your efforts.


Just make sure not to burn out. Take a break and try again later. Now, go and grab the pickaxe and brace for the storm. The next Jade could be just a swing away.
