5c1. Lunar Eclipse Dragon Jade
At max level, you start using the Lunar Eclipse Jades system. Like Vibrant Heraldries, their gimmick is an evolution process. Lunar Eclipse Jades offer a wide selection of stats, and notably skill damage boost on Rare and higher grades.
If you prefer video guides, see this one by HeyImJonas.
Here’s written instructions for those who prefer it.
The ingredient to craft Lunar Eclipse Jades is Lunar Eclipse Fragments. You can obtain them from Nests and Invaders, and they can be traded on the Trading House. Here’s details on drop locations and what jade slot they’re used for.
| Fragment color | Drop from which nest? | Jade that use it |
| Yellow (Holy) | Manticore Professor K Archbishop Gigantes | Helmet Necklace Ring Weapon and Sub-Weapon |
| Cyan (Crystal Clear) | Serpentra Gigantes Mist Chiron | Helmet Upper Body Weapon and Sub-Weapon |
| Red (Burning) | Archbishop Volcano Guardian Chiron | Upper Body Lower Body Necklace |
| Blue (Pitch Black) | Serpentra Professor K Granom Typhoon Kim | Lower Body Gloves Ring Sub-Weapon |
| Green (Tailwind) | Volcano Mist Granom Daidalos | Gloves Shoes Necklace |
| Brown (Ardent) | Manticore Guardian Daidalos Typhoon Kim | Shoes Necklace Weapon |
First, craft the Normal grade jades. Note that Tier 1 Ancient armor only uses Defense jades, Ancient rings only use Attack jades, and Ancient necklace and earrings can use both Attack and Defense jades. Other equipment might have different slots (Tier 2 Ancient armor has an Attack slot for example) so check with your own equipment.
Take note of the main weapon jade. If your class is not an elemental class listed in this table, pick an elemental main weapon jade to add elemental attack to your damage (you can choose whichever you like, elemental resistance isn’t really important nowadays.)
(See 2b4. Stats (and damage) for dummies for how elemental damage works.)
To evolve these jades to the next rarity, craft the evolution items. Normal > Magic > Rare > Epic > Legend > Unique > Ancient. Remember to match the Attack/Defense slot; but if you make a mistake, disassembling the evolution item will return all materials (except the gold). Evolutions will also add a random stat, but considering the materials it’s not worth it to reroll based on stats.
Evolution to Rare and higher uses High Grade Lunar Eclipse Fragments, which can be traded for at the Nest Store in exchange for normal Fragments.
On evolution from Magic to Rare, you will also have to pick the right jade for your main class.
Starting with Rare grade, jades will have a line that boosts damage of a single skill or Dreamy/Blood Moon/Verdure jade skill (weapon jades will only have jade skills). Evolutions from Epic > Unique and Unique > Legend will add another line each, resulting of 3 lines total at Legend grade. Upon evolution to Ancient grade, a 40% boost to Hero Skill will be added for all jades.
See Jade and Rune skill selection table for skill names.
Starting from evolution to Rare, this is where it most makes sense to “reroll” jades for an ideal skill boost, by disassembling and crafting the jade from scratch (Normal grade to evolutions). Disassembling a jade from Rare and higher grades will return part of the materials (but not the gold).
Alternatively, you can reroll a jade without recrafting by using a Lunar Eclipse Relic on it. This item is usually sold in the Cash Shop and can’t be crafted, but is sometimes given out for free.

Ancient grade jades can be enhanced. You can see stats and enhancement materials in this patch note.
