Jade is one of the rarest gemstones in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, and if you’ve been mining Iron Ore for hours and still haven’t seen it, that’s... completely normal. It’s a drop that’s tied to luck, patience, and a stubborn refusal to quit.

Here’s everything you need to know to give yourself the best shot at finding it.

Where to Find Jade

• Jade only drops while mining Iron Ore

• You’ll need to go to Stormtouched Highlands, west of the Fractured Plains

• Iron Ore nodes are found along cliffs and rocky ledges, marked by their distinct brown, jagged appearance

What Tool You Need

• Bronze Pickaxe or better is required

• Stone and Bone Pickaxes won’t work on Iron

• You can craft Bronze Pickaxes after smelting Tin and Copper into Bronze Bars

Pro Tips for Farming Jade in Dragon Wilds

• Manually mine Iron Ore instead of using Rocksplosion

  • Players have reported lower gem drop rates (or no drops at all) when using the spell

• Be prepared: the Stormtouched Highlands has frequent lightning and aggressive enemies

  • Equip Bronze Armor or better

  • Bring healing items or drop a Lodestone for quick escapes

Why Jade Is So Hard to Find

• Drop rates are extremely low—some players report mining hundreds of iron ores with no Jade

• There’s a possible bug affecting players above Level 50 Mining, which may block gem drops

• Until that’s confirmed or patched, your best option is to just keep mining and hope the game decides to be nice

What Jade Is Used For

• Currently assumed to be used for magical upgrades and gear enhancement

• Exact recipes are still being uncovered

• Likely tied to mid- to late-game crafting, similar to Sapphire and Red Topaz

Final Blurb

Jade is the kind of resource that teaches you patience the hard way. If you’re mining Iron and getting nothing but ore, you’re doing it right—just unlucky. Bring a pickaxe, skip the flashy spells, and chip away at those cliffs like your gear depends on it. Because it probably does.
