What To Do With Jade Runestones
Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons brings us to Cantha, a mysterious land filled with resources that we've never seen before. One of these resources is the Jade Runestone. This small item is quite important for crafting legendary weapons but can be elusive at times. Thankfully, we are here to help you.

In this guide, we are going to take a look at how to obtain Jade Runestones. Additionally, we are going to go over what you can do with them. First, let's look at what vendors in Cantha sell Jade Runestones.
Purchasing Jade Runestones For Unusual Coins
Jade Runestones can only be purchased from one vendor in all of Tyria. This vendor is Chin-Hwa, a merchant in the Daigo Ward of Seitung Province. You can find Chin-Hwa just northeast of the Daigo Ward Waypoint, underneath a small gazebo.
Chin-Hwa sells a variety of items in exchange for Unusual Coins. To buy one Jade Runestone, you will need to have 200 Unusual Coins. Unusual Coins are a currency that can be collected by opening chests around Cantha.
Overall, 200 coins is a lot. If you are looking to quickly farm Jade Runestones, we recommend using the methods below instead of saving up Unusual Coins.
Purchasing From The Trading Post
Jade Runestones can also be purchased from the Trading Post. This item isn't too expensive, but if you are looking to buy large quantities, they can quickly become quite pricey.
Chests That Contain Jade Runestones
Chests in Cantha will also have a chance to contain Jade Runestones. This item can appear in two different types of chests; Hero's Choice and normal chests in the world. Let's take a look at both of these below.

- 100x Jade Runestone
