Sword of Justice, NetEase's open-world wuxia MMORPG, keeps its free-to-play progression generous: Banknotes and everyday activity rewards carry most of the gearing, and nothing in the core loop is locked behind a paywall. Ornate Jade (shown as Jade or Wenyu depending on the version) is where real money comes in, through Jade packs, the Monthly Pass and the Battle Pass. Here is when each is worth buying in 2026, and which Elitedias listing matches your server.
TL;DR:
- Monthly Pass (often called the monthly card) is the best recurring spend for daily players, because its value comes from claiming every day for 30 days.
- Battle Pass (Basic, Advanced, or Basic plus Upgrade) is worth it only if you play through the season.
- Ornate Jade packs are for a specific costume, mount or limited pack, not for stockpiling.
- Unbound vs bound: Jade from a top-up is unbound and spends anywhere in the shop; bound Jade from events and passes cannot always cover premium items.
- Where to buy: Elitedias lists Sword of Justice Europe and Sword of Justice North America. There is currently no Southeast Asia listing.
What each currency actually does
- Ornate Jade: the paid currency, bought through top-ups. Spends on outfits, mounts, weapon skins, limited-time packs and the appearance draws.
- Bound Ornate Jade: earned from events, passes and promotions. It cannot be traded, and some premium shop items do not accept it.
- Banknotes: the gear progression currency, earned through dungeons, PvP and daily activities.
The split matters when you plan spending. Bound Jade from the Monthly Pass and events handles a lot of everyday shop purchases. Unbound Ornate Jade is what you need for the limited outfits and packs that bound Jade cannot buy.
The Monthly Pass: why it's the best recurring spend
The Monthly Pass is paid once and then pays out a daily reward you collect on login for 30 days, on top of an upfront reward. Like most MMO monthly passes, it delivers far more over the month than a Jade pack at the same price, but only if you claim every day. The exact daily reward is printed on the pass in the in-game shop and has differed between versions, so check it there before you buy.
On both Elitedias listings, the Monthly Pass costs the same as the 330 Ornate Jade pack. That makes the decision simple: if you log in daily, the Monthly Pass is the better buy at that price. If you play a few times a week, take the 330 Jade instead, because unclaimed days are lost.
The Battle Pass: Basic, Advanced or Upgrade
Each season offers a Basic and an Advanced Battle Pass, and a Battle Pass Upgrade that moves Basic to Advanced. On Elitedias the Upgrade costs almost exactly the difference between the two, so starting on Basic and upgrading later costs no more than buying Advanced outright. Start on Basic if you are not sure you will finish the track, and upgrade once you can see you will.
When Ornate Jade packs ARE worth buying
- A limited costume or mount you actually want rotates into the shop. Sword of Justice rotates its cosmetics quickly, and some items may not return for a long time.
- A themed bundle lines up with your goals. Packs such as the Rare Jade Exploring Pack or Splendid Brocade Pack bundle Jade with items, and are worth it only if you wanted those items anyway.
- You have hit a gear wall that only a premium bundle solves. This is rare, but it shows up around later expansion content.
When NOT to buy Ornate Jade
- You are still in the early levels. Base progression covers early content without spending, so save the money for where the grind actually bites.
- You want to shortcut Banknotes. Dungeons and PvP pay Banknotes for free; spending Jade to skip that is poor value.
- You do not log in daily. Skip the Monthly Pass and buy Jade only for specific items.
- The costume you want is likely to rerun. Check community rotation trackers before buying on impulse.
Which Elitedias listing matches your server
Elitedias currently lists two Sword of Justice products: Sword of Justice Europe for characters on the Europe servers, and Sword of Justice North America for the North America version of the game. Both carry Ornate Jade packs from 60 to 7,776, the Monthly Pass, the Basic and Advanced Battle Pass, the Battle Pass Upgrade and themed bundles.
The Southeast Asia listing has been retired, and Elitedias does not currently sell Jade for Southeast Asia characters. A UID on one regional version cannot receive a top-up meant for another, so players on Southeast Asia servers should not order from the Europe or North America pages. If you are unsure which version your character is on, check the server name on your character or login screen, or ask Elitedias on WhatsApp or Telegram before paying.
On either listing, the order form asks for your UID and server only. The UID is shown at the bottom right of your character screen, which opens from your profile picture. The top-up is credited after payment confirmation, and the payment methods available for your currency are shown at checkout.
Is it safe to top up Sword of Justice from a third party?
Yes, as long as the platform sources its top-ups through authorised distributors rather than reseller codes, gift cards or account-binding shortcuts. Elitedias tops up through authorised distributors, so the currency is credited to the UID you enter and you never share a login.
Key red flags with unknown top-up sites: asking for your account password, requiring you to share your Facebook or Google login, promising 30%+ discounts on in-app pricing (almost always a scam), and no visible review history. Elitedias is reviewed publicly on Trustpilot at trustpilot.com/review/elitedias.com, and the order form for this game asks only for your public UID and server.
Verdict
The Monthly Pass is the best recurring spend in Sword of Justice if you log in every day. The Battle Pass is worth it when you will finish the season, and Basic plus Upgrade keeps your options open. Buy Ornate Jade directly only for specific cosmetics, bundles or gear walls, and earn Banknotes through play. Europe and North America players can top up on the matching Elitedias listing; Southeast Asia characters are not currently covered.
