In the expansive world of Myth of Empires, jade is a high-value endgame resource critical for crafting elite armor sets like Elephant Hide and Meteor gear. But farming it isn’t as simple as picking a shiny rock off the ground—you’ll have to face powerful enemies, manage heavy loads, and locate elusive mines. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about identifying, harvesting, and defending your jade haul.

What Jade Looks Like and Where to Find It

Jade nodes are visually distinct—they’re light-colored stones embedded with green, gem-like textures. On the map, they appear as sandy-colored markers with white accents. They’re easy to miss if you’re unfamiliar, but once you’ve seen one, you’ll know exactly what to look for.

Caution: Jade mines are typically guarded by high-level NPCs, usually in the level 50–60 range. Approach stealthily—crouching as you move up to the mine is advised to avoid unnecessary aggro.

How Much Jade Do You Need and Why It’s Important

Jade is essential for endgame armor sets like Elephant Hide and Meteor gear. You’ll need nine pieces to craft the full three-piece set. However, because of its high weight, you’ll need to come prepared:

• 17 jade weighs roughly 34 pounds
• One stack of 100 jade can weigh up to 300 pounds

If you don’t have high personal carry weight or a strong cart/horse, you’ll quickly become overburdened.

Tips for Efficient Jade Hauling

• Use a horse-drawn cart or wagon to transport the jade.
• Have a storage box ready at your base to unload fast.
• Limit how much you pick up per run—hauling too much without proper carry support will slow you down significantly.

Combat at Jade Mines: What to Expect

Most jade mines are protected by enemy NPCs. You’ll usually face:

• White-tier NPCs (mid-tier, manageable solo with support)
• Occasional elite guards (level 58+)

To deal with these threats safely:

• Bring a tamed NPC warrior with at least steel weapons and armor
• Use pulling techniques to fight one enemy at a time
• Position your companion away from aggro zones to avoid pulling multiple guards

In the guide example, a level 30 dragon NPC with decent—but not amazing—stats and steel equipment was used. Even with multiple weaknesses and sub-2,000 health, it handled white NPCs comfortably. This proves you don’t need a god-tier soldier—just someone decently geared and leveled.

Jade Yield and Profit Potential

Besides its crafting importance, jade is also a strong money-maker:

• Sells at the boundary marker for 43–44 copper coins per unit
• Enemies near jade mines often drop additional resources like woven cloth
• Single NPC kills can reward 185+ copper coins

Even a modest daily farming route can bring in strong profits. Stack up jade, woven cloth, and coins in a single session.

Elite NPCs at Jade Sites

Be cautious around elite-level guards (e.g., level 58). These are stronger and may come in pairs depending on time of day and patrol behavior. The guide example shows two 50+ elites patrolling at once. In these cases:

• Back off and reposition to avoid double pulls
• Use terrain to your advantage
• Keep your NPC slightly behind to avoid surprise engagements

Final Thoughts and Recommendations

• Always crouch when approaching jade mines.
• Bring a reliable mid-level tamed NPC with good gear.
• Use a wagon or mount to handle jade’s extreme weight.
• Sell jade at boundary markers for a consistent copper income.
• Avoid elite pulls unless you’re confident in your NPC’s combat stats.

With these strategies, you’ll be farming jade confidently and profitably. It’s one of the game’s most valuable resources, and with a little prep and awareness, even mid-tier players can tap into its power. Happy hunting, and keep stacking that jade!
