Jade is one of the rarer gemstones to find inRuneScape Dragonwilds, and finding it might depend mainly on your luck.
As with all other gemstones, finding Jade requires you to mine Iron. Mining iron ore is not guaranteed to land you with this precious gemstone. The odds of obtaining this precious gemstone seem extremely low if players are to be believed. This guide will explain the entire process.
How to obtain Jade in RuneScape Dragonwilds
To begin the process, you’ll have to start by searching forIron. You’ll have to complete a fair amount of gameplay to access theStormtouched Highlandswest of Fractured Plains. If you have mined copper ore (which you should have by this stage), you’ll find a familiar appearance for Iron. This mineral appears as a brown substance on large boulders located along cliffs. The item you get after mining the ore is in its raw form, which needs to be processed before you may use it.
You’ll need theBronze Pickaxeto mine these ores. Your first step should be to improve your beginner tools as quickly as possible. It’s also advisable to keep a fewRocksplosion chargeswith you, just in case. However, some players have reported that mining using the spell prevents the spawning of any precious gemstones. This includes the Jade and other items like Opal. Hence, manually mining the ores is the advisable way to go.
Make sure to have the Bronze Armor before you enter the area, as the region is affected by constant lightning. Lack of sufficient protection could end up killing you, which is highly disruptive, to say the least.
It’s worth noting that the spawn rate for Jade is supposed to be low, based on my understanding. There are reports that players have been unable to find the resource at all, regardless of how much iron they have mined. There’s also a chance that mining might be partially bugged for those above level 50 or above on the skill.
Sadly, I am among the unfortunate ones who have yet to get this resource. My colleagues have been luckier and have helped me with the process. For now, the only right thing is to keep trying to find the Jade by mining as much Iron as possible.
The Iron you get is pretty useful. It can be converted into Iron Bars with the help of smelting, which can be done at a Furnace. Coming back to the gems,Opalseems to be the easiest one to find at the moment. It’s used for weapon enhancements, and the gemstone provides some nice boosts. It’s assumed that Jade could also have a similar use, but the only way to know that is to get lucky and end up with some of it in your inventory.
