Jade and membership
This page was last checked against game version 0.2.1; the game is now at 0.3.0. Some explanations may be out of date (tables are always current).
Jade is AscendMMO’s second currency. It is mostly bought, and it pays for the membership. Small amounts of Bound Jade also come from play: the Login calendar and 
Geode openings. At the Jade exchange, players trade Jade for Gold with each other.
Tradeable Jade and Bound Jade
Section titled “Tradeable Jade and Bound Jade”Your wallet shows both kinds separately (hover or tap the Jade amount).
| Kind | Where it comes from | Spend it | Offer it on the exchange |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jade | bought with real money (Jade packs) | yes | yes, once it is cleared |
| Bound Jade | bought from other players on the exchange; the Login calendar; Geode openings; grants from the team |
yes | never |
When you spend Jade, Bound Jade is used first, then your oldest tradeable Jade. Freshly bought Jade needs a short clearance period before it can go on the exchange; the exchange shows when it is ready.
How do you earn Bound Jade?
Section titled “How do you earn Bound Jade?”- Login calendar. On 30% of days the daily reward is 1–5 Bound Jade (small amounts are much more likely). Claiming every day of a week (Monday to Sunday) adds a bonus of 10 Bound Jade. See Login calendar.
- Geodes. Opening a Geode from mining sometimes gives a little Bound Jade instead of ores or gems.
How does the Jade exchange work?
Section titled “How does the Jade exchange work?”Open the Auction House in the village and switch to the Jade tab. Both sides need trade eligibility, just like the Auction House.
Jade is always traded in lots of 100 Jade, priced in Gold per lot.
Offering Jade:
- Choose how many lots to offer and a price per lot in Gold. The price must lie inside today’s allowed range (the tab shows it).
- The Jade leaves your wallet and waits on the exchange until it is bought, the offer ends after 48 h or you cancel it. Cancelled and expired offers return the Jade to your wallet.
- When lots sell, the fee of 10% is taken from the Gold and the rest is paid out with your next action in the game. There is no listing fee. As in the Auction House, a payment can be held for review first.
Buying Jade:
- Choose how many lots you want and the highest price per lot you will pay.
- The exchange buys the cheapest offers first. If not enough lots are cheap enough, you get fewer.
- The Jade arrives as Bound Jade. For new traders, the Gold spent here counts toward the daily purchase cap of 5,000 Gold.
Limits per player:
- at most 20 lots offered and 20 lots bought per day (UTC),
- at most 5 active offers at a time.
The tab shows what is left today, the current offers and a chart of the median price per day.
Why is there a price corridor?
Section titled “Why is there a price corridor?”Each day the allowed price per lot lies within ±20% of the reference price, the median price of the previous day. The price can still rise or fall from day to day, but never jump. This keeps the exchange from being used to push Gold between accounts at silly prices.
What does Jade buy?
Section titled “What does Jade buy?”Right now: the membership.
Membership
Section titled “Membership”A membership costs 500 Jade and runs for 30 days. Where the shop is enabled, you can also take it as a subscription for real money instead of paying Jade. You can extend it, as long as it runs out no more than 90 days ahead. The Membership tab in the Auction House shows the price, your Jade and how long your membership runs.
Benefits:
- Longer offline queue. Repeated actions keep running for 24 h while you are away. Without a membership the queue is 2 h, and lifetime milestones raise it to at most 8 h. The runs take normal time and give normal rewards.
- Member badge on your profile. You can hide it in the social settings.
A membership is convenience only. It never changes combat, loot, EXP or Gold per action, Momentum, cooldowns or trade limits. When it ends, your queue falls back to its normal length; runs already queued finish normally.
Can I buy Gold with real money?
Section titled “Can I buy Gold with real money?”Not from the game. Gold only enters the game through play. The only way to turn Jade into Gold is to sell it to another player on the Jade exchange, who pays with Gold they earned. Buying Gold, items or accounts from other sites is forbidden.
Tips and common mistakes
Section titled “Tips and common mistakes”- Bound Jade can’t be resold. Buy only as much Jade as you want to spend.
- Set your highest price with care. You buy the cheapest lots first, but never above your limit.
- Compare with the chart. The corridor moves with the previous day’s median; an offer at the low end of the range sells quickly, one at the top may wait.
