Where to find Noctilucous Jade in Genshin Impact (Interactive Map & Vendor)

Only 46 Noctilucous Jade rocks spawn in the overworld at any given time in Genshin Impact, making it one of the rarest Ascension Materials to find. However, collecting it is a different story, as each ore can drop up to three of them at a time. There is also one vendor that sells them every three days and one NPC that gives away four of them (but only once).

As of Genshin Impact 2.5, only two characters need this Ascension Material:

• Beidou
• Yanfei

Both characters need a 168 count of this item to reach their maximum levels. It's currently not used in any Talent Level-Ups or Weapon Ascensions.

All Noctilucous Jade locations in Genshin Impact

The highest concentration of Noctilucous Jade is in Mingyun Village. 25 out of 46 of this ore spawn here, making it the first location that Travelers should go to if they need this Ascension Material. There are several Teleport Waypoints here, not to mention a Statue of the Seven and a Domain for easy access.

Otherwise, Travelers will find this ore located throughout Liyue. It counts as a Liyue Local Specialty, meaning that Qiqi and Yanfei's Passives can hypothetically scout it out. Ningguang's Passive will sadly not scout it out on the minimap due to its Local Specialty status.

That said, Travelers are highly advised to bring a Claymore or Geo user to break these rocks efficiently. It will take those users a few attacks to break it, meaning that non-Claymore or Geo users will struggle to break it open.

All Local Specialties respawn in 48 hours after they're harvested, including this ore (as it counts as a Liyue Local Specialty).

So far, only one vendor sells Noctilucous Jade in Genshin Impact, and that's Shitou. Travelers can find this merchant north of the crafting bench in Liyue Harbor, near the eastern Teleport Waypoint. All players have to do is talk to Shitou and select the first option to see his wares.

Noctilucous Jade costs 1,000 Mora a piece, and he only sells five of them. Aside from this ore, Travelers can also purchase ten White Iron Chunks and ten Iron Chunks there. His inventory resets every three days.

Chang the Ninth is the name of the NPC who will give players four of this item for free, depending on their choice of dialogue. To do so, players should select the following options:

1. So what happened?
2. Best of luck

Genshin Impact players must complete the Bookworm Swordsman quest to get four Noctilucous Jades from the character. He should not be in the middle of another quest to get this conversation in Genshin Impact.
