Jade Bot
“Unlock the Canthan Jade Tech Mastery track to equip and level up your very own jade bot. This helpful (and adorable) friend can help you find hidden treasures, power up new weapons, enhance your travel, and more!
— Official site
Jade Bots are unique companions available exclusively through the Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons expansion. Once unlocked, they can be used for a variety of activities, such as to light up lanterns, open chests or earn buffs. Many of their functions are only available in Cantha maps, with the main exceptions being the attribute bonus and modules.

Unlocking
- The mastery and jade bot are unlocked via The Scenic Route story step in the End of Dragons expansion.
- Any character where the player wishes to use all jade bot functions has to have equipped a Power Core.
Mechanics
- Before having access to a jade bot the game will display the message:
“You've encountered jade technology that requires a jade bot to make use of it. Unlock the Jade Bot Mastery line to obtain a jade bot! You can do this as you progress through the End of Dragons story.
— Jade Technology, in-game hint
- All functions are available in the open world. The availability of functions in other places (PvP, WvW, instanced content) is determined on a case-by-case basis.
- By interacting with a Jade Bot Terminal, players can gain a remote control over the jade bot, allowing independent piloting. While being controlled, jade bots can interact with some objects, such as Jade Batteries, Jade Tech Lanterns and levers.
- In New Kaineng City, a Jade Bot Terminal can be used to take direct control of the jade bot to fly it around the city (almost) freely, like a drone, to get new views. The range of how far you can fly with the bot is limited.
- The jade bot can be used to solve puzzles with the free-flight, such as in certain End of Dragons story instances. It can also be used to access otherwise locked locations, like Mi-Shen's Lab, through vents.
- It can reveal hidden treasures via special Treasure Hunter Protocol 1-3 Modules or increase loot from defeated foes through Scavenger Protocol Modules.

Lore
Jade bots are small jade mechs created from dragonjade by Xunlai Jade. They provide day-to-day aid for Canthans who can afford them, as the dragonjade technology is very expensive. They are also used as help with transportation through Cantha via Zip Lines and can be deployed for security purposes or scanning mined jade.
Jade Bot skins
Jade Bot skins can be unlocked account-wide by purchasing them in the Gem Store. The skins have only cosmetic effects; there are no gameplay advantages associated with them.

Notes
- You cannot turn off visibility of other player's jade bots, but the bots are not visible at all times, only spawning when deployed for specific actions.[1]
- Many of the animations are implemented via skill effects, as the devs were concerned about server performance of having another entity spawn for each player.[1]
- Cannot be named in-game.[1]
Trivia
- During remote control while on the ground as well as in the jade bot panel, the bot has idle animations, one of them being a dancing animation.
- Movement speed during remote control is 600 units/sec for backward and forward movement, and 300 units/sec for ascend, descend, and sideways movements.
- The controlls during remote control are similar to under water movement.
