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

Guild Wars 2: End Of Dragons - How To Get Jade Runestones (1)

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
