Showcasing Shing Jea Island Trivia Quiz

Answer: Shing Jea Monastery

Typically, this large town is one of the most populated towns in the entire "Factions" campaign, usually running with numerous districts (up to 50 during certain holiday events). It is also the home of the Canthan New Year festival.
In the center of the Monastery, players can converse and trade in a large, open courtyard as well as form small four-person parties to perform their first explorations of the Canthan continent.

Shing Jea Monastery houses numerous NPCs and "Factions" exclusive quests for new players to the game. Players will choose both their primary and secondary professions before leaving this first half of the island.

Answer: Sunqua Vale

Due to the fact that newer players (beginning in the "Factions" campaign) will start from the Monastery, they will soon be able to proceed to the west end of the island. In fact, the first few quests of the game require that you cross the area in some way, whether it be to Minister Cho's Estate to the north, or more explorable areas to the far west.

The area give you your first glimpse of the Naga, reptilian warriors forced out of their Jade Sea as well as Mantids and Yetis, which feature more throughout the island. After finishing in the Monastery Overlook, speak to a profession trainer and meet them out in Sunqua Vale for basic training.

When this training is complete, you will also be able to commence secondary training by speaking with NPCs in the Monastery.

Answer: 10

Shing Jea Arena is situated on a small island to the south of Shing Jea Island. To access this early arena, players will need to speak to Bauyun in the Monastery to be instantly taken across the sea. As long as the player is under level 11, they will be able to enter the arena for battle, but if that player is level 11 or higher, they will only be able to enter that outpost, which is usually nice to have explored for the Grandmaster Cartographer title. Like many other areas of Shing Jea, the arena contains miasma, which will slowly degenerate health if a player is under its effect.

The arena only accommodates deathmatch games (fight-til-the-death) for parties of four players.

Answer: Crimson Skull

The Crimson Skull can be found across Shing Jea Island in various different locations. Although they may be low-leveled, their stronghold in the south-west corner of the island can be a formidable barrier if you're just beginning the game. To reach Panjiang Peninsula, players must reach Tsumei Village by crossing Sunqua Vale and exiting through the south exit. Panjiang is home to large caves, waterfalls, and a scenic coastline willed with exotic enemies.

As well, players will often visit this area in order to complete training tutorials. This large area will be home to many Canthan farmers using the land near Tsumei Village.

As soon as players pass this area though, they will encounter Naga, Kappas, Oni, and the guild of the Crimson Skull.

Answer: Four

Until players reach Seitung Harbor, they will have to contend with the four-player parties. Consequently, this is somewhat of a downer for Hard Mode, which requires players to fight large groups of difficult enemies. Minister Cho's Estate can be reached by taking the north exit out of Sunqua Vale. To enter it though, players must have their secondary profession. In order to complete this mission, players must travel around Minister Cho's Estate, taking their first glimpse at 'The Afflicted', a group of diseased enemies which cover all of Cantha. Defeating these, and protecting both Yijo Tahn and Master Togo are your goals as you cross the lush grounds to reach Minister Cho/ However, upon reaching the objective, the minister will be diseased and they will need to be defeated as well. Completing this in less than 20 minutes will result in a Master's rating. Upon completion, players will recommence from Ran Musu Gardens.

Answer: Jaya Bluffs

Jaya Bluffs is one of the few snow-capped regions of Cantha, and because of this, the area is home to Snow Tigers, which can be used as pets, and Yetis, which are strictly enemies. Jaya Bluffs is the first explorable area to accommodate six players within the party.

A small monastery, Sizhou Hall, is due north from Seitung's entrance. Players must travel through this explorable area on the way to the second mission of the campaign. The mission 'Looking For Trouble', on the main quest, visits this explorable area and further progresses the invasion of the Afflicted. Regardless, parties must make their way to the east end of this area to reach Haiju Lagoon, one of the final areas of the island yet to be visited.

Answer: The Captured Son

Possibly one of the more popular quests to be found on Shing Jea Island, 'The Captured Son' is exclusive to "Factions" specific characters as it results in a rather nice amount of experience and gold. The quest begins in Seitung Harbor and it is given to you by Lady Mukei Musagi who is searching for her son.

This is where it gets tricky. A large camp of Crimson Skull members is situated at Hanzing Pier in Haiju Lagoon, and Jatori is on the water in front of it. As well, many groups of Naga patrol the area. Rather than complete this quest, many opt to purchase the quest requirement, a letter, from other players to reap the benefits much quicker.

The quest isn't a requirement to progress through the main storyline.

Answer: True

This is the only method of reaching the first area of the "Factions" campaign if your character began in Tyria or Elona. To do this, players must make their way from Kaineng Center to The Marketplace to the south (via Bukadek Byway). Once they reach The Marketplace, they must speak with First Mate Xiang about crossing the sea to visit the island.

In doing this, however, the player will not find any quests as they are normally set for lower-leveled players. Both attribute point quests are found on the island, and will only be available to "Factions" characters. If players wish to visit Cantha from their respective campaigns, they will need to finish the 'Mhenlo's Request' quest in Tyria or the 'Plague in Cantha' quest in Elona. Both are situated around the ports of call in their continent: Lion's Arch and Kamadan.

Answer: Kinya Province

If players happen to be training in the Mesmer, Ranger, Assassin, or Ritualist professions, they will have to visit trainers in Kinya Province to proceed. This area, located in the west end of Shing Jea Island, can be accessed through Ran Musu Gardens, Sunqua Vale, and Panjiang Peninsula.

This area is home to many Mantids, Naga, and Crimson Skull members. Aerie is a Tengu encampment on the western coast, situated overlooking the sea, while Tomaat Pass is in the eastern end of the province, allowing players to cut along the mountains to get to the south.

This area contains a fair bit of Crimson Skull (including a Crimson Skull Camp) as well as a Yeti or two. Beware the western coast. This area has quite a few Naga ambushes and may contain a few hidden Oni.

Answer: Twenty

This reward holds true for both standard and hard mode; twenty minutes for completion. In this mission, players must keep Togo alive and search for the source of the plague on Shing Jea Island, which is located in a shrine in the south end of the mission. Once players arrive, Afflicted Yijo, Afflicted Farmer Xeng Jo, and The Afflicted Kana must be defeated.

This mission allows for up to six party members in addition to Togo. Certain bells in this mission will also summon Zunraa, a Kirin monk guardian, who will be of great help when your party has been affected by Miasma. Zunraa's skill, Blessing of the Kirin, nulls the effect when an ally uses a skill. Completion of this mission will send players to Kaineng City, and the missions of Shing Jea Island will be complete. Now, players must navigate the mainland to search for the source of the plague.
