The sprawling compound of Minister Cho's Estate encompasses a large part of central Shing Jea Island, taking up most of the land to the north of the central mountain range. The estate grounds have mostly been turned into a zoo of sorts, home to a myriad variety of exotic animals from all over the world of Tyria.

Notes

• There are no bosses in this area, skills that recharge on morale boost (such as Resurrection Signet) are less desirable.
• These quests affect the spawns in this area:
  • Lost Treasure
  • Rescue at Minister Cho's Estate
• Complete exploration of this area will yield approximately 2.6% to the Canthan Cartographer title track.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests requires defeating around 210 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 192 to 218.
  • Since you can only have a party of four, having a minion master helps.
  • While each group of sickened humans are simple enough to take down, be careful of overlapping patrols, particularly near the northeastern corner.
  • There is a group of islands to the northeast of the coastline, with foes that cannot easily be seen from the beach.
  • Likewise, be sure to explore the caverns in the southeast for enemies.
