Dialogue[edit]

How can Xunlai Jade enhance your life today? Perhaps you've got some research notes to trade?
Talk more option tango.png What are research notes?
Research notes are an essential part of modern crafting, especially with Xunlai Jade technology! You can use them to help you craft new items, or trade them to me for recipes and upgrades.
Talk more option tango.png How do I get research notes?
You can make them! Xunlai Jade sells research kits at a very affordable price. They deconstruct old crafted items to generate research notes. More advanced items yield more notes.
Talk more option tango.png What if I don't craft items?
Research notes are still useful to trade for jade bot module upgrades. Any ol' crafted item purchased from the Trading Post works just as well, too!
