Genshin Impact Bosses That Drop Shivada Jade

The most reliable way to farm Shivada Jade is by defeating the bosses who can drop it. After defeating a boss, pay 40 Original Resin to retrieve its rewards, including any elemental stones it might drop this time around. Luckily, there are quite a few bosses who can reward Shivada Jade upon defeat.

Typically speaking, the higher the level of the boss, the better the drops can be. This chart outlines the boss level that each type of gem can be obtained at:

*It should be noted that the Primo Geovishap will only drop the elemental stones that match which element it was infused with when fought. It will only reward Shivada Jade if it was infused with Cryo when the player fought it.

However, this boss is always capable of dropping Prithiva Topaz.

Genshin Impact Weekly Bosses That Drop Shivada Jade

The weekly trounce domains (and Andrius) are also capable of rewarding elemental gemstones after defeating the boss and paying the Resin cost. The following weekly bosses can reward Shivada Jade:

(Wolf of the North)

(Beneath the Dragon Queller)

(Enter the Golden House)

(Narukami Island: Tenshukaku)

At higher levels, these bosses can drop better quality gemstones. They typically follow this pattern, though Andrius is slightly different:

Domain levels

Andrius level

39+

42+

63+

III, IV

84+

*Like the Primo Geovishap, the elemental stones that Azhdaha can drop are based on which element he infuses during that battle. Shivada Jade is only in the reward pool if he infused Cryo during the fight. Azhdaha’s elemental infusion is based on a fixed weekly rotation. He is capable of dropping Prithiva Topaz regardless of the infused elements of the week.

Luckily, which elements Azhdaha is infusing each week can be seen on the door to his domain before entering the fight.

Other Ways to Get Shivada Jade in Genshin Impact

Aside from fighting bosses and trounce challenges, there are a handful of other ways to obtain elemental gems, including Shivada Jade.

Daily Commissions

One of the easiest ways to earn elemental gemstones is by completingdaily commissions for the Adventurers' Guild.

Every day, players are assigned four daily commissions. After completing all four, they can head over to any branch of the Adventurers' Guild and speak to Katheryne, who will give them somebonus rewards. Among these can be elemental gemstone Slivers.

Unfortunately, it’s random which one is given out, but since daily commissions area great way to earn Primogems, the gems are a bonus.

Crafting

By using a crafting bench, players cancrafthigher-level gems from lower-level gems.

+

300

=

1x Fragment

900

1x Chunk

2,700

1x Gemstone

This means it’ll take 27 Slivers to make a Gemstone. It’s expensive, but it’s reliable and players will often find themselves crafting the higher levels of gems rather than finding them.

Conversion

Also at a crafting bench, a player can use someDust of Azothto convert other elemental gems into the one they want. Dust of Azoth can be purchased in Paimon’s Bargains for Stardust at a rate of 10 counts of Dust of Azoth for 5 Stardust.

Higher-level gems need more Dust of Azoth to be converted, as shown here:

Gem level

Dust of Azoth required

9

Gemstone

27

Shivada Jade, then, can be converted from Varunada Lazurite, Nagadus Emerald, Vayuda Turquoise, Vajrada Amethyst, Prithiva Topaz, or Agnidus Agate.

Parametric Transformer

Many things can be created in theParametric Transformer, and gems are just some of them. By using the right materials, players can increase the chances to obtain a “set” of two Slivers or a “set” of a single Fragment of a random elemental gem. They can obtain multiple “sets” of the same thing, meaning they may get multiple gems.

The type of fuel used only increases the chances of getting certain items, rather than guaranteeing them. The following items, when entered into the Parametric Transformer, are more likely to result in sets of elemental gems:

Electro Crystal

Souvenir Shops - Slivers Only!

There are two souvenir shops in Teyvat that sell some elemental gems.

There are a few limitations to obtaining elemental gems in this way, though. First, theyonly sell Slivers.Second, they only acceptelemental sigils as payment, not Mora. Finally, they sell alimited quantityand do not offer more Slivers after their stock is bought out.

The first is found in Mondstadt, calledWith Wind Comes Glory, run by Marjorie. She only accepts Anemo Sigils as payment. She’ll sell six Shivada Jade Slivers for 10 Anemo Sigils each.

The second vendor who sells Shivada Jade Slivers is Xingxi, who runsMingxing Jewelryin Liyue Harbor. This shop only acceps Geo Sigils as payment, charging 10 of them per Sliver. However, Xingxi stocks 12 Shivada Jade Slivers!

Events

Finally, elemental gems can often be found as rewards duringspecial time-limited events.

Most events have either direct rewards given for completing certain challenges, or an event shop filled with rewards that an event-exclusive currency can be used to purchase. Often, these events will have ascension items or talent materials like elemental gems or talent books.
