Newly-created characters of the Factions campaign begin their journey here. At this point, players can either accept and complete the tutorial quest or skip the quest and head into Shing Jea Monastery. Choosing to skip the tutorial quest will not cause your character to lose out. All the rewards of the tutorial are automatically awarded as you enter the monastery.

This is also the location where the games of Shing Jea Boardwalk (during special events) are placed.

[edit] Getting there

Create a new Factions character.

Once a Factions character leaves this area, they will normally not be able to re-enter (except during the advanced training quests offered by Instructor Ng). Characters of other campaigns are also normally unable to enter this area. The only time this restriction is raised is during special events, when Shing Jea Boardwalk is open, although the area is still not as fully accessible as for a new Factions character.

[edit] Dialogue

A monologue during the introductory cutscene of the Factions campaign for new Factions characters:

"Shing Jea Island, 1582 CC"

"Two hundred years have passed since the Jade Wind remade the face of Cantha.... But the Empire of the Dragon still needs heroes.

For decades, young Canthans have come to Shing Jea Monastery... To learn from the greatest living hero of Cantha: The Ritualist known as Master Togo."

[edit] Notes

• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 0.9% to the Canthan Cartographer title.
• It has been reported that Factions characters which were still in a mini-game area when that area is closed (due to an associated event being closed for example), their characters were placed here when next they logged in.
